An Evening of Culture – Faith County II: The Saga Continues by Mark Landon Smith
Directed by: Casey Eubank
Production dates: July 21-31, 2022
We’re in Mineola County where the Community Theatre is producing ROMEO AND JULIET. Even though the cast members don’t have their lines memorized, the set isn’t finished, and a dog keeps barking offstage, they’re gonna give it a go! There’s just an awe-inspirin’ performance given by Mildred Carson (who doesn’t look fifty) as Juliet. There’s great chemistry between Mildred and Bubba Bedford, who is cast as Romeo. And, lest we forget, Naomi Farkle Carson, who provided the additional dialogue.
