As part of Eastport Arts Center Sunday Series, Stage East will perform a staged reading. The play, written by Mark St. Germain, is a comic work of fiction suggested by facts. That President Harding went camping with Henry Ford and Thomas Edison is fact; conversations are fictional but based on events, documented personal philosophies and the political climate of the time. Though many remarks are adapted from the actual words of these three men, there is no proof that such a dialogue took place. What is indisputable is that Warren G. Harding is a man who never wanted to be President, Henry Ford is a man who did, and after many annual expeditions, this was Thomas Edison's last camping trip with Henry Ford.
The play is directed and produced by Bernie Cecire. He is an integral part of Stage East’s technical crew. He performed in Greater Tuna and A Christmas Carol. This is Bernie's debut as director, and he has received generous support Lou Esposito, a founding member of Stage East. Cast members are Brian Schuth (Henry Ford), Paul Strickland (Warren G. Harding), David Simmons (Thomas Alvah Edison) and Damon Weston (Colonel Edmund Starling).
Sunday Afternoons at the EAC are held downstairs. Hot drinks and refreshments are offered; donations are gratefully accepted. For more information, and to view the rest of the series lineup, please visit www.eastportartscenter.org The Eastport Arts Center is at 36 Washington Street, Eastport, and is handicapped-accessible.
