Meme Simmons Loves Theatre

By Dan Thornton on February 11, 2013 10:00 AM | No Comments

The theatre is something special. Meme Simmons knows that. She was drawn to it as a child. First singing in the choir at age four then performing in high school plays for five years since she did her first musical with the high school when she was still in the eighth grade.

From high school she went straight to college in New York City. Eventually landing roles in off-broadway productions and touring companies.

Now she's back in her hometown bringing her theatrical talent to the people of Jacksonville, North Carolina. Here she has established Debbie's Angels Productions to produce shows and teach acting with the help of her relatives and friends.

In Jacksonville she has helped produce a musical at Southwest High School and directed theatre classes for the city's Parks and Recreation Department. Debbie's Angels produced a musical called Broadway After Dark last year and has plans for two more adult performances this year and one for kids.

I lived in Asheville for several years, and nothing captured my attention more than the Montford Park Players, an acting company that performs free shows written and inspired by the works of William Shakespeare in an outdoor amphitheater all summer long. With fantastic actors and direction, it truly is one of the most interesting activities to do in a city full of interesting activities.

They are currently looking for directors for their productions of Romeo And Juliet, as well as A Christmas Carol that will be shown in October and December, respectively. If interested, you can contact John Russell at 828-254-5146 or info@montfordparkplayers.org

The most current show, All's Well That Ends Well - Not A Love Story, will be playing from July 8-31 at the Hazel Robinson Amphitheater.
