"Treasure Island" During the summer of 2012, the Children's Guild of the Abbey Players put on a chair sell-out version of "Treasure Island," adapted by Rex Stephenson based on the beloved book by Robert Stevenson, The spine-tingling adventure about trechery, treasure, and a young man's rite of passage had a cast composed of area children ages 11-17. The enthralling classic tale of Jim Hawkins, Long John Silver, and swashbuckling pirates excited both the young and the young at heart. The show ran from July 27 to August 11. |

Rich Is Better By Jack Sharkey Directed by Mickey Atchetee The Abbey Players is proud to announce that their spring production, Rich is Better by Jack Sharkey, will open Saturday May 21 and run Fridays and Saturdays through June 25. The comedy, directed by Mickey Atchetee, has a new face, Brittany DuBois, in the cast along with some veteran actors, Gloria Breaux, Scott Meddows and Judge Byron Hebert. Rehearsals have started and all cast members are excited about the production. Nona, played by Gloria Breaux, is unaware that her husband Gino, played by Byron Hebert, owns the company where she works in telephone sales. Gino posed as a laborer during their courtship, afraid that Nona might marry him just for his money, and has not yet told her of his deception. When Gino’s secretary Pam, played by Brittany DuBois, shows up with papers that need to be signed he introduces her as a co-worker seeking advice on a romantic problem. Big hearted Nona insists Pam bring her lover to dinner. Pam cons her podiatrist, played by Scott Meddows, into meeting her at Gino’s home thinking he is making a house call. By the time the disastrous dinner party occurs, Nona’s misguided gossip has caused a strike at the mill. Nona is wondering why Gino isn’t joining the picket lines, and he inadvertently gives Nona the impression that Pam is his paramour. Things only get more confusing at the night goes on. |

 The Children's Theatre Guild of The Abbey Players presented its 2006 summer production of Fariy Tale Courtroom, by Dana Proulx, directed by Marie Vaughan, assisted by Lindsey LeBlanc. The first act is the trial of Mr. B.B. Wolf, who thinks he is cunning enough to be his own attorney. The second act is the trial of the bad, evil witch, who is smart enough to have an attorney represent her. The antics in this courtroom in no way resemble what takes place in the real world. With a cast of 20 talented children it was a production both adults and children enjoyed. |
