"All My Sons" cast profile: Randy Milliner

Randy Milliner plays neighborhood doctor Jim Bayliss in "All My Sons," closing this weekend at the Vam York!

GCP Girl: Tell me a bit about your character.
RM: I play Dr. Jim Bayliss. Jim, by nature, is a dreamer, but circumstance and situation have given him a rude awakening and forced him to deal with life’s mundane matters, such as money. While he is a devoted husband, he’s more of a thinker than a “doer,” and this causes a great deal of friction in his marriage to his much more pragmatic wife, Sue.

GCP Girl: Tell me about some of your previous shows, either at GCP or another theater.
RM: I’ve only done one other show at GCP, as Sheriff Heck Tate in “To Kill a Mockingbird.” I’ve done several shows at the High Springs Community Theater, including “The Odd Couple,” where I was cast as the fastidious, hypochondriac Felix Unger; “Moon Over Buffalo” (which was a great deal of fun); “Hound of the Baskervilles,” where I was Sir Henry Baskerville; and “Butterflies are Free,” in which I played a blind man. “Butterflies” was probably my most challenging role to date, not because of the blind thing, but because I had to play the guitar and sing at the same time…in my skivvies. Also, I’m rehearsing for “Dracula” there, which opens on October 6th.

GCP Girl: Why did you audition for "All My Sons"?
RM: I really enjoyed my experience as part of the “Mockingbird” cast. Everyone does such a good job and the theater is a really nice space in which to work. I’m looking forward to more auditions here at GCP.

GCP Girl: What is your favorite scene in the show, and why?
RM: I like the scene in Act 3 between Jim and Kate. In it, Jim describes how everyone, at some point, must decide either follow their “star of Honesty” or sacrifice it, through compromise, in order to follow a more comfortable path. We are told, often flippantly, to “be true to ourselves,” but the reality is that doing so is not always easy. Most everything in life is a trade-off. You give up one thing to have another, and I think this scene really brings that message home.

GCP Girl: What about this show has challenged or inspired you, as an actor and as a person?
RM: Arthur Miller’s characters are very complex; there’s a lot of subtext for each of them, and it’s challenging to show that to the audience. Also, the overall tone of the show is very somber, and bringing out the moments of levity written for my character has been difficult.

GCP Girl: Why should people see "All My Sons"?
RM: “All My Sons” is an excellent exploration of the often tragic effects of lying. Just about every one of the characters in the show had, at some point, been presented with an opportunity to deal honestly with a crisis, and nearly every one of them chose to seek shelter from the painful consequences by rebuilding their lives on a foundation of lies – told to each other and to themselves. For a while, things returned to almost to normal, but as it is wont to do, the harsh light of Truth eventually shone down and burned away the darkness of mendacity, causing their false lives to come crashing down around the characters.
The propensity of dishonesty is not unique to the Kellers and their neighbors – it is something everyone must take care to avoid on a daily basis. So “All My Sons” serves as a reminder that honesty, no matter how uncomfortable, really is the best policy.

GCP Girl: What plays or musicals would you like to see GCP produce in an upcoming season?
RM: I would like to see some Shakespeare done at the theater. I know it’s difficult to do well, but I’m sure there are people in the community who have the ability and inclination to take on such an endeavor. Also, as preview of the next question: “Waiting for Godot.”

GCP Girl: What is your dream role?
RM: I don’t know that I have a dream role yet – I’m a theatre noob. However, the first monologue I ever studied in an acting class was from “Waiting for Godot.” I was very intrigued by the lack of structure and would very much like the part of Vladimir.

GCP Girl: Tell me something you'd like everyone to know!
RM: I love rollercoasters! One year, maybe next, I’d really like to go on a U.S. Rollercoaster Tour and ride all of America’s finest coasters. The Millennium Force at Cedar Point in Ohio is the one I’m most looking forward to right now.

Thanks, Randy! This is the final weekend for "All My Sons" - see it tonight, Saturday or Sunday!

"All My Sons" cast profile: Jolene Sayers

Jolene Sayers makes her GCP debut as Anne, the girl next door, in "All My Sons"!

GCP Girl: Tell me a bit about your character.
JS: I play Anne. She is the type of girl that goes with the flow and tries to make everyone happy. She's strong and, when it comes down to it, she won't be pushed around.

GCP Girl: Tell me about some of your previous shows.
JS: It's my first show at GCP, but I've done a lot of shows back in Utah. I played Lina LaMont in "Singin' in the Rain," Lady Caroline in "Enchanted April," Margot Frank in "Diary of Anne Frank," Tansy in "The Nerd," and many more.

GCP Girl: Why did you audition for "All My Sons"?
JS: I read the synopsis of the play and thought it would be a good show to get involved with. Also, it's been 6 years since I've done a show. I wanted to get back into it and see if I could still act.

GCP Girl: What is your favorite scene in the show, and why?
JS: When I get to argue a bit with Chris. It's the first time you see Anne get mad and I like the whole pacing of the scene.

GCP Girl: What about this show has challenged or inspired you, as an actor and as a person?
JS: The challenge has been to show different sides of Anne. She can't be just a "pretty face," but to show she's sweet but strong and intelligent, very much aware of what's going on around her.

GCP Girl: Why should people see "All My Sons"?
JS: This show makes you think. You leave wondering what you would have done in the situation and maybe leave feeling like you yourself could be a better person in this world.

GCP Girl: What plays or musicals would you like to see GCP produce in an upcoming season?
JS: "Chicago," "Jekyll & Hyde," "The Nerd," "Guys and Dolls," "Noises Off."

GCP Girl: What is your dream role?
JS: Lucy in "Jekyll & Hyde."

GCP Girl: Tell me something you'd like everyone to know!
JS: I'm Canadian with dual citizenship.


Thanks, Jolene! Only four more chances to see this show!

"All My Sons" cast profile: Michael Martinez-Hamilton

Michael Martinez-Hamilton brings a wealth of experience (and a bit of the Bard) to the character of Joe Keller in "All My Sons"!

GCP Girl: Tell me a bit about your character.
MMH: I am playing Joe, patriarch of the Keller family. The two most important things in Joe's life are family and money. He is a person who was living on the streets at the age of ten. He had to use whatever wit he had to survive. He is not an educated man, but he is street-smart and he knows people. He knows how to manipulate them and how to get what he needs from them. He is willing to go to any length to protect his family and his business. The loss of his business is a major threat to a self-made man like Joe. His lack of education would make it very difficult, nearly impossible, for him to start over and build a new business to pass on to his son, Chris. To Joe, nothing is bigger or more important than the relationship between a father and his son; God, nor the universe, are bigger than this.

GCP Girl: Tell me about some of your previous shows, either at GCP or another theater.
MMH: I worked with a Shakespeare in the Park company in California for about 6 seasons. I was one their principal actors and was blessed with the opportunity to play many great roles during my time with them. I was in "A Midsummer Night’s Dream" (Oberon), "Romeo and Juliet" (Friar Laurence), "Twelfth Night" (Malvolio), "Much Ado About Nothing" (Don Pedro), "The Tempest" (King Alonso), and "The Taming of The Shrew" (Baptista).
My initial training as an actor was at the Los Angeles Theatre Academy. I still regard the time I spent there as one of the best in my life so far. I am still very close with the theatre family I made there and still receive a great deal of encouragement and artistic support from them.

GCP Girl: Why did you audition for "All My Sons"?
MMH: I love this story and have wanted to be part of telling it for a long time. I read it so long ago and it seemed like I would never be old enough to play Joe. Well, I don't know if it's good or bad, but someone thought I was finally old enough!
I love Joe and have a great deal of empathy for him. I did not think I would get the role and auditioned for the experience and also to put myself out in front of the greater theatre community of Gainesville. As a graduate student in the MFA Acting program at UF, it is so challenging to expand the microcosm you find yourself in as you work and and train and study. I was hoping I would get an opportunity to do that with this production. I am glad to say I have met some great people and have made good friends during this production.

GCP Girl: What is your favorite scene in the show, and why?
MMH: I really like the one-on-one scenes Joe has with Chris and Kate. You get to see his weaknesses and his vulnerability in those scenes. You also get to see his loyalty, love, passion, and tenderness in the scene where Chris tells him he is going to ask Annie to marry him. I think this is my favorite scene.

GCP Girl: What about this show has challenged or inspired you, as an actor and as a person?
MMH: This is a very hard role to play! Joe's thought process is so unlike my own. He may not be book-smart, but he is people-smart. He stays two steps ahead of everyone the majority of the time he is on stage. Joe doesn't always live in the moment. He thinks ahead. It took me a while to get this and to find his thought-rhythm. Once I figured that out, other things, like his physical life and physical vocabulary, began to fall in place. Every night, as I wind down after a performance, I can think of all kinds of new things I have figured out about him. He has big shoes to fill and I am still growing into them!

GCP Girl: Why should people see "All My Sons"?
MMH: "All My Sons" is such a uniquely American story. What are parents willing to sacrifice in order to create a better life for their children? What lengths is a parent willing to go to in order to give their children more than they had? As children, do we have the right to condemn our parents for the choices they made while trying to build a better life for us when we realize their choices violate our own personal values? If you can relate to those questions, see this play!

GCP Girl: What plays or musicals would you like to see GCP produce in an upcoming season?
MMH: I would like to see them take more risks. Produce plays that challenge us to break out of our comfort zones.

GCP Girl: What is your dream role?
MMH: Willie Loman in "Death of a Salesman."

GCP Girl: Tell me something you'd like everyone to know!
MMH: I am grateful for this moment!!! Thank you!!!

Thanks, Michael! This is the last week to see this American classic, so get your tickets today!

"All My Sons" cast profile: Patricia Kee

Patricia Kee swaps her dancing shoes for drama as the sharp-tongued Sue Bayliss in "All My Sons"!

GCP Girl: Tell me a bit about your character.
PK: I play Sue Bayliss, a nurse who is a little weathered and worn by life; she's also got a mean streak in her that comes out a bit during the show. I'm a full-time student majoring in theater, and I work full-time, too. This is my first dramatic role ever -- I normally do musicals.

GCP Girl: Tell me about some of your previous shows.
PK: I did theatre in high school, then ventured away from it, and I'm so glad to be doing it again. I was in the ensemble in "Thoroughly Modern Millie," and I just got cast as Rita in "White Christmas."

GCP Girl: Why did you audition for "All My Sons"?
PK: Honestly, I went to the audition to support a friend who wanted to be in the show. I just went up there and winged it and I guess they liked what they saw.

GCP Girl: What is your favorite scene in the show, and why?
PK: My favorite scene is the very beginning, because it's so lighthearted and fun compared to the majority of the show.

GCP Girl: What about this show has challenged or inspired you, as an actor and as a person?
PK: My character has greatly challenged me because she's nasty most of the time, which is the exact opposite of my personality.

GCP Girl: Why should people see "All My Sons"?
PK: "All My Sons" is a great American play and it is very relatable to how things are in the world today. Self preservation and family are large undertones in the play.

GCP Girl: What plays or musicals would you like to see GCP produce in an upcoming season?
PK: I would love to see GCP do "The Drowsy Chaperone," "A Chorus Line," or if we could get puppeteers, "Avenue Q" would be amazing!!

GCP Girl: What is your dream role?
PK: I'm very green when it comes to theatre; it took me 6 years to figure out this is what I should be doing. Although there are many amazing lead roles I would love to play, just being cast in any show is a dream for me because I get to be on stage.

GCP Girl: Tell me something you'd like everyone to know!
PK: Here are two mottoes that help me keep my head on straight when it comes to theatre: "fake it till you make it," and "there will always be someone better than you." I'm also very partial to Cheez Whiz and Ritz crackers.

Thanks, Patty! There are only eight more shows, so get your tickets now!

"All My Sons" cast profile: Josh Ludlam

Josh Ludlam lends his dramatic talent to the complex character of Chris Keller in "All My Sons"!

GCP Girl: Tell me a bit about your character.
JL: I play Chris Keller, an idealist who sees the best in others. As one character puts it, "He makes people want to be better than it's possible to be." After seeing the atrocities of war, he realizes that life is more than material possessions. It's about giving yourself to something bigger than yourself and finding happiness in the people that surround you.

GCP Girl: Tell me about some of your previous shows.
JL: I've played a wide range of characters, from silly ones like Dromio of Ephesus in "The Comedy of Errors" (where I was beaten on stage with ropes) and slapsticks, to serious characters like Atticus Finch in "To Kill a Mockingbird." But by far my favorite performance was my master's performance, which was a one-man show telling the story of "The Count of Monte Cristo." I played 11 characters in that one show alone! Loads of fun!

GCP Girl: Why did you audition for "All My Sons"?
JL: I have been in Gainesville for about a year now and have wanted to get involved in the local theatre scene, but it's difficult sometimes to convince playhouses to take a risk on new talent. I read the physical description of Chris and I felt I fit the physical description, so they'd at least give me a chance! After reading the story line and the play itself, I was more convinced I wanted to be a part of telling this story because it has such power and meaning: live your life for something bigger than yourself!

GCP Girl: What is your favorite scene in the show, and why?
JL: My favorite scene is when Chris and Anne get engaged. It's such a sweet moment in a play that is not known for many sweet moments. There are many powerful and beautiful moments!! But not many sweet ones!

GCP Girl: What about this show has challenged or inspired you, as an actor and as a person?
JL: This character is by far the most "dramatic" I have played. There is such a range in Chris, from a playful, boyish love interest, to a killer during war times, to a loving and devoted son. All of these things (and more) have to be visible to the audience. It's certainly not a flat character.

GCP Girl: Why should people see "All My Sons"?
JL: Because it's awesome!!! Because when people leave this play they will "know there is a universe of people out there" and they're responsible to it!

GCP Girl: What plays or musicals would you like to see GCP produce in an upcoming season?
JL: "The Glass Menagerie" by Tennessee Willams. Another very powerful play!

GCP Girl: What is your dream role?
JL: Cyrano de Bergerac. I understudied in college but never got to play him!

GCP Girl: Tell me something you'd like everyone to know!
JL: I'm single!

Thanks, Josh!  You can see Josh and the rest of the cast all weekend at the Vam York!

"All My Sons" cast profile: Jim Cooney

Jim Cooney plays the game-changing George Deever in "All My Sons," his first production at the GCP!

GCP Girl: Tell me a bit about your character.
JC: I am playing the character of George Deever in "All My Sons," brother of the character Ann Deever and son to Steve Deever, Joe Keller's imprisoned business partner (who throughout the play remains unseen). To me, George is something of a game changer -- he only appears once, for about 20 minutes, in Act II, but he's integral to advancing the action and tension. George represents the Past, the joyous past but also the darker past that must be reconciled, and this is embodied in George's ambivalence. He returns to his hometown after many years on a mission to protect his family by destroying another, but when he gets there, he's so swept up in nostalgic longing that he nearly lets this mission go.

GCP Girl: Tell me about some of your previous shows.
JC: I've discovered a passion for acting just this past year, having taken a few acting classes, but this will be my first production (if we don't count a sixth grade play).

GCP Girl: Why did you audition for "All My Sons"?
JC: I auditioned for "All My Sons" because there were several parts I thought I could play -- three young adult males, each with great depth. I'd have been happy with any of them, but I'm pretty sure George is who I'm meant to play.

GCP Girl: What is your favorite scene in the show, and why?
JC: There is one scene in which it appears the status quo for these characters may be salvaged after all, despite some shake-ups from me (George) and other forces. But then one little slip is made (I won't say what) -- it's so small, and yet the dramatic course of events that unfold afterward will seem inevitable in retrospect. You can almost imagine things going differently, if not for this little hiccup.

GCP Girl: What about this show has challenged or inspired you, as an actor and as a person?
JC: For me, a new actor, the most challenging parts of this play were simply learning to move around on stage in a way that his planned yet natural-seeming, dynamic, and in harmony with the other actors. It's also very hard to learn lines and cues when there are more than three characters on stage --- often there's no connection between one line and the next. My acting classes couldn't have prepared me for either of those challenges --- I had to be in a real production to get better at it.

GCP Girl: Why should people see "All My Sons"?
JC: People should see "All My Sons" because, while it merely takes place in a Midwestern backyard, over the course of a single day, it's a tension roller-coaster. For me, the play almost seems to have three climaxes, or even four, each successively increasing in tension though it seems impossible. Our director, Margery Pierson, feels this is Arthur Miller's greatest talent --- reaching an apex of tension and then drawing down, leaving room to rise and go just a little higher then next time. I've come to agree with her!

GCP Girl: What plays or musicals would you like to see GCP produce in an upcoming season? What is your dream role?
JC: At the moment I'm more interested in straight plays, but my dream role would be to play the Emcee in the musical Cabaret, so I'd love it if GCP did a production of that some day.

GCP Girl: Tell me something you'd like everyone to know!
JC: When I'm not at the theater, I'm a student and graduate instructor at the University of Florida, pursing my MFA in fiction writing. I love how well these two creative pursuits --- acting and fiction writing --- complement each other. My right-brain is getting a lot of exercise these days.

Thanks, Jim! Week 2 of "All My Sons" starts tonight!

"All My Sons" cast profile: Erin Silverman

Erin Silverman tackles the dramatic role of devoted mother Kate Keller in "All My Sons," opening tonight at the Vam York!

GCP Girl: Tell me a bit about your character.
ES: I play Kate, or "Mother" as she's known in the script. Kate is married to the main character, Joe, and they have two sons, one of whom is missing following the end of fighting in WWII, and one of whom has returned home and is resuming civilian life. Kate has a fierce love for what remains of her family and will go to any length to preserve the idea that they can all be together again. Her inability or unwillingness to transform in the face of a post-war reality is what makes her such a compelling character. The other characters feel a fierce loyalty toward Kate and try and protect her.

GCP Girl: Tell me about some of your previous shows, either at GCP or another theater.
ES: This is my eleventh show at the GCP, but my first ever non-musical. I was previously Hope Harcourt in "Anything Goes," Eve in "Children of Eden," Sister Mary Amnesia in "Nunsense," Dolly Tate in "Annie Get Your Gun," Jenny Lind in "Barnum," and Mary Jane Wilkes in "Big River," among others.

GCP Girl: Why did you audition for "All My Sons"?
ES: "All My Sons" was never anything I could have pictured myself doing. As I said, my theatrical experience is almost exclusively musicals. I'm a single mom now and doing shows is more difficult than it ever has been at any point in my life. When I'm not involved in a production, I miss it. In late June of this year one of my closest friends and fellow GCP actor, Keith Walters, passed away suddenly. I was asked to deliver a eulogy at his memorial service, and throughout the writing and delivery of the speech I kept coming back to this idea of stepping outside of your comfort zone. It was something Keith was passionate about throughout his too short life. And it's something I've never had the courage to do. A few weeks later I got a call from Leannis Maxwell asking me to audition for "All My Sons." The conversation almost immediately drifted back to Keith and this idea of stepping outside the comfort zone. I was scared, but my family and partner Chris encouraged me and I tried out. No one was more surprised that I could get cast in a non-musical than me.

GCP Girl: What is your favorite scene in the show, and why?
ES: I love watching Chris confront Joe in the middle of Act 2. I think a big part of this is I love watching Josh Ludlam on stage. His acting has this intensity and freedom to it that is almost hypnotic to watch. He's deeply believable and it inspires me to try harder and be better in my scenes.

GCP Girl: What about this show has challenged or inspired you, as an actor and as a person?
ES: Everything. The amount of lines to memorize. But above and beyond that, the emotional state of my character has been really challenging to dive into night after night. I'm a mom now. I don't think I could have understood the all-consuming love, and potential for both pain and joy that accompanies that love, before I had my girls Molly and Maddie. I've also been through a divorce and numerous personal challenges over the last year and a half. Everything I've experienced thus far gives me a reservoir of pain that I access frequently when I'm on stage. I also have much joy in my life now, so I understand the aspiration toward hope and happiness.

GCP Girl: Why should people see "All My Sons"?
ES: Well, first and foremost, I think it's important to continue to support the arts, especially locally. Beyond that, the themes that play out throughout the show - themes such as individual gain versus societal responsibility - are as important now as they ever were. It has been decades since I've read any of Arthur Miller's work, but I'm struck by the naturalness of his dialogue. It's just a really great play, even without special effects or elements added for shock value. Hopefully we'll do justice to his writing.

GCP Girl: What plays or musicals would you like to see GCP produce in an upcoming season?
ES: I'm so old-fashioned when it comes to theater, I should probably get more familiar with what's "hot" now. I would love to see the GCP do "Company," "Ragtime," or "Assassins." In terms of straight plays, I've enjoyed "Black Comedy," "Noises Off," and "The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man In The Moon Marigolds."

GCP Girl: What is your dream role?
ES: Adelaide in "Guys and Dolls" or Abigail Adams in "1776."

GCP Girl: Tell me something you'd like everyone to know!
ES: I do an amazing impersonation of a monkey. And although it may come as a surprise to anyone who's witnessed me try and complete simple mathematical calculations, I have a Ph.D.

Thanks, Erin! Tonight is opening night! Do you have your tickets yet?

Spotlight on Arthur Miller

Arthur Miller is remembered as one of the greatest playwrights in American theatre. His classic drama, “All My Sons,” opens this weekend at the Vam York Theater.

Miller was born in 1915 in New York City to Polish-Jewish immigrant parents. His family was well off, but lost everything in the stock market crash in 1929; he saved for college by working in an auto parts factory. He began writing plays while a student at the University of Michigan, winning enough money through awards to finish his degree. After graduation, he married his college sweetheart and worked in the Brooklyn Navy Yard while writing radio scripts (some of which were produced by CBS) and a play he felt would make or break his career: “All My Sons.”

“All My Sons” displays many of the recurring themes in Miller’s work: the influence of playwright Henrik Ibsen is seen in the relationship of the two business partners and the question of responsibility, while Miller’s own criticism of the American Dream shines through the outward normalcy of the Kellers’ lives.

The play premiered on Broadway in January 1947. It was directed by Elia Kazan and starred Ed Begley and Karl Malden. New York Times drama critic Brooks Atkinson called it "an honest, forceful drama about a group of people caught up in a monstrous swindle that has caused the death of 21 Army pilots because of defectively manufactured cylinder heads." The show won Tony Awards for best author and best direction, and won the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award over Eugene O'Neill's "The Iceman Cometh."

The rest of Miller’s story is the stuff of legends: the success of “Death of a Salesman,” written in 1948; his fallout with Kazan over the director’s compliance with the House Un-American Activities Committee; his stab at the committee with his most-produced play, “The Crucible”; his troubled second marriage to Hollywood star Marilyn Monroe and her death, 19 months after their divorce. In his lifetime, he wrote more than 35 stage plays, more than 20 radio and movie scripts, and six nonfiction books. Miller was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, the National Medal of Arts, several Tony Awards, the Dorothy and Lillian Gish prize, and the Jerusalem Prize. He died in 2005 at the age of 89. His daughter, Rebecca Miller, is married to actor Daniel Day-Lewis. For a more in-depth portrait, check out the New York Times obituary.

“All My Sons,” directed by Margery Pierson, previews on Thursday, September 13 and opens Friday, September 14. See you there!

"White Christmas" auditions are this weekend!

Auditions for the classic holiday musical "White Christmas" are coming up this weekend! Director Bob Garrigues gives some advice for potential cast members.

GCP Girl: Why did you want to direct "White Christmas"?
BG: "White Christmas" is a show I have known for a long time. It is a lovely presentation with great themes, and is just perfect for the Christmas holidays. I love to work with Ted Lewis and look forward to mounting this show. We did “Singing in the Rain” together and had a glorious time.

GCP Girl: What is your vision for this show?
BG: My vision is to tell the story of comradeship, love and Christmas in all its wonderment. We want to present all the ingredients of stage craft that make a show visually appealing. With the help of the talented Carol McCoy, we will bring great music and performance to the Vam York stage.

GCP Girl: Why should people audition for this show?
BG: You will be treated in a professional fashion, be a part of a great show, and have a wonderful experience.

GCP Girl: Is there anything specific you are looking for in the actors who audition? If someone wants to impress you, what should she or he do?
BG: Talent, natural, willingness to work and be a team player. Just be yourself -- no pretenses and false airs.

GCP Girl: Any songs you do NOT want to hear?
BG: Sing what you would like and that demonstrates best your talent and skills. I hate “Tits and Ass” from "A Chorus Line."

GCP Girl: Anything you'd like to add?
BG: Please come and let us get to see and hear you. Everyone will have an equal opportunity.

Thanks, Bob! Auditions are Sunday, September 16 and Monday, September 17 at 7 p.m. at the Vam York Theater.  For more general audition tips, check out this post.  See you there!
