​

Anthony and Rosemary are two introverted misfits straddling 40. Anthony has spent his entire life on a cattle farm in rural Ireland, a state of affairs that—due to his painful shyness—suits him well. Rosemary lives right next door, determined to have him, watching the years slip away. With Anthony’s father threatening to disinherit him and a land feud simmering between their families, Rosemary has every reason to fear romantic catastrophe. But then, in this very Irish story with a surprising depth of poetic passion, these yearning, eccentric souls fight their way towards solid ground and some kind of happiness. Their journey is heartbreaking, funny as hell, and ultimately deeply moving.

Valley productions include 15 shows with Southwest Shakespeare, Arizona Jewish Theatre, and Phoenix Theatre, as well as several directing credits at Desert Foothills Theatre, Mesa Encore Black Box and Paradise Valley Community College. He started and ran his own theatre company, Class 6 Theatre, for seven years here in the Valley, producing almost 30 events for local audiences. He's also spent many years being an adjudicator for ASU's HSMTA program at Valley high schools. Before settling out west, he spent 13 years making a living as an actor and dancer. He's also written five books, all available on Amazon. Thank you for supporting local theatre!

TESS JENKINS-(ROSEMARY)

Tess is thrilled to be in her third show with Stage Left Productions, having debuted as Blanche DuBois in A Streetcar Named Desire and was most recently seen as Haley Walker in Bad Dates. She is also excited to be reunited on stage with Eric Schoen, with whom she did Julius Caesar and Twelfth Night at Class 6 Theatre Co. Selected theatre credits include Alice in Wonderland (AriZoni nomination, Best Supporting Actress), The Crucible, The Picture of Dorian Gray, South Pacific, and Antigone (Broadway World nomination, Best Supporting Actress). She can also be seen as the character “Speed” in the feature film 2 Gentlemen of Verona. Tess wishes to thank Cody for this opportunity, to the patrons of the arts for supporting local theatre, and to family and friends for their ongoing love and support, especially her husband, who designed and built this wonderful set!

BOBBY HAVENS-(TONY)

Bobby Havens is a retired elocutionist. (Which means, he’s professionally trained to tell a riveting story.) He’s been onstage as a motivational speaker, contracted trainer, sports announcer, ordained minister, speech coach, published writer, MC, Storytime director and thespian. Credits include productions at Hale Center Theater, Stage Left Productions, Desert Stages, OTV Performing Arts Studio, Desert Foothills Theater, Ghostlight Theater and Sun City Players, among other venues.

Deborah’s Valley theater credits include several with SLP: A Nice Family Christmas, Always A Bridesmaid, The Big Five-Oh, Kitchen Witches, Last of the Red Hot Lovers, Crazy Quilt Club, Sorry Wrong Chimney, Fruitcakes, and The Importance of Being Earnest. Ms. Hall has also performed and directed with Desert Stages, Southwest Shakespeare, Desert Foothills, Theatreworks and Mesa Encore Theatre. Deborah has been nominated for several ariZoni Awards, most notably for her performance as The Mother Superior in The Sound of Music and her set design for Wait Until Dark, both at Desert Stages. During Ms. Hall’s 12 years in Hollywood, she was in 45 plays, directed 5 and worked with Burt Reynolds in Evening Shade. Deborah’s episode of Married...with Children can still be seen on late night tv and some streaming services. Ms. Hall is represented locally by Dani’s Agency.
