2 months ago Share As the Players Centre gets closer to opening a new complex in Lakewood Ranch, it is expanding its outdoor shows.
Editor s note: Jay Heater s article incorrectly stated the role Daniel Pelissier said he earned in a Kiss Me Kate audition. The correct role is Hortensio.
Sarasota actor Daniel Pelissier stood on the new outdoor stage Jan. 17 at Jiggs Landing Outpost, his back turned toward Director Donna DeFant and Assistant Director Patti McCauley.
DeFant and McCauley were hosting auditions for Edgar Lee Masters “Spoon River Anthology,” a 1915 collection of poems that narrate the epitaphs of the residents of a fictional Illinois town. The two directors were looking for about 13 actors to fill roles in the play they will present beginning in late February on that same stage.
