I asked to SM this show not knowing it at all because I enjoy working with Cliff and because the other 2 SMs were sandwiched in the previous and next shows. I had no idea that when I took it, I would love it this much. I'm not sure that I love the show itself – while it is good – but I love THIS production and am so proud of it! I couldn't have asked for better actors, crew or production team! The ladies took the male roles they received by storm! You all had passion for the character and the show! And THAT is what made this show! The complete passion that everyone left on the stage! I am sad to see this one go, but I am so happy that it happened and that I was a part of it with all of you. <3

Thank you for the memories!

 

Crew:

 

Tiny but Mighty! There wasn't much crew but you all handled this show so well and without (much) complaint! I appreciate all of you!!

Character Highlight – Wikipedia

 

George Read (September 18, 1733 – September 21, 1798) was an American lawyer and politician from New Castle in New Castle County, Delaware. He was a signer of the Declaration of Independence, a Continental Congressman from Delaware, a delegate to the U.S. Constitutional Convention of 1787, President of Delaware, and a member of the Federalist Party, who served as U.S. Senator from Delaware and Chief Justice of Delaware. Read was one of only two statesmen who signed all three of the great State papers on which the country's history is based: the original Petition to the King of the Congress of 1774, the Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution of the United States.

 

Read generally worked in opposition to Caesar Rodney and his friend and neighbor, Thomas McKean. He, like most other people in Delaware, was very much in favor of trying to reconcile differences with Great Britain.

He was quite reluctant to pursue the option of outright independence. Nevertheless, from 1764, he led the Delaware Committee of Correspondence and was elected to serve along with the more radical McKean and Rodney in the First and Second Continental Congress from 1774 to 1777.

 

Read died at New Castle on September 21, 1798, and is buried there in the Immanuel Episcopal Church Cemetery.


 Pop Reference: In the Broadway musical 1776, Read is portrayed in a minor role as a proper, conservative, somewhat effete, and wealthy planter who has difficulty getting along with the other two members of the Delaware contingent who are for Independence.
