Peabody is a play that I wrote last year to enter into a Summer Short Play festival,” said Amanda Dempsey-Laughlin. “I had thought of something like it, so, I sat down and I wrote and, right away, I thought about who I wanted in my cast. My daughter, Victoria, of course, as Jamima.” Jamima is the teen age girl who meets Arthur J. Peabody, a talking, Shakespeare quoting, well-travelled British bird. “And then, Desmond [Baxter] was perfect as Arthur; the third role, Regina, would be performed by Kelly McDowell.” Ms. Dempsey-Laughlin elaborated, “This was a short festival with criteria that we couldn’t get together to do it.”
