Last week, a team from Venice Theatre attended the Southeastern Theatre Conference's Community Theatre Festival in Mobile, AL. They presented Tennessee Williams' 1946 one-act drama 27 Wagons Full of Cotton. Actors Murray Chase, Kristofer Geddie and Morgan Graves were accompanied by Director Ric Goodwin, Stage Manager Jennifer Kaiser, Scenic and Lighting Designer John Andzulis, and crew members John Wyczlinksi and Patrick Mounce. After winning the award for Best Production in Florida last August, Venice Theatre went on to compete against nine other theatres in Alabama. The theatre came home with two more awards. Morgan Graves won for Best Supporting Actress and John Andzulis won for Best Lighting Design. Graves is an acting intern at Venice Theatre. Her next show before completing her internship will be the campy musical Debbie Does Dallas which will be presented in the Pinkerton Theatre from April 26 through May 20, 2018.
