Oradell, NJ, May 3, 2010

The Bergen County Players (BCP) close their 2009-2010 season with the hilariously dark comedy, Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All For You, written by Christopher Durang.  Under the direction of Carol Fisher, Sister Mary will be performed at the Little Firehouse Theatre in Oradell on May 15th at 2pm and May 16th at 7pm.  Tickets are $10 which can be purchased online at www.bcplayers.org, by calling 201-261-4200 or by visiting the box office at 298 Kinderkamack Road in Oradell during regular box office hours.  

Sister Mary, played by Paula O’Brien of Park Ridge, is a nun who is parochial in every sense of the word, educates, indoctrinates, and inculcates in this hilariously dark comedy that could only come from the pen of the bitingly funny Christopher Durang (Beyond Therapy, The Marriage of Bette and Boo). While giving a lecture to her current student, Thomas (Adam Feldman of New City, NY) she is visited by her former students Gary, (David Monti of Lodi), Aloyisus (Will Nolan), Diane (Julia Heaney of Ridgefield) and Philomena (Vanessa Pellecchia of Poughkeepsie, NY) who describe the lasting psychological trauma she has inflicted upon them.  Dark laughs ensue as the stories unfold right in front of you.  Contains mature language/content.

Director Carol Fisher of Teaneck was last seen on the BCP stage as Nurse Ratched in One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest and Follies in Concert.  Other stage appearances include The Lion in Winter at Players Guild of Leonia, Best Little Whorehouse in Texas at Antrim and multiple roles (Book of Days, Company, Sordid Lives, The World Goes ‘Round) with The Players Theatre Company. Her directing credits include The Trip to Bountiful (nominated for 3 Perry Awards), You’re A Good Man Charlie Brown, and I Never Saw Another Butterfly. 

The talented cast of Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All For You include Paula O’Brien of Park Ridge as Sister Mary Ignatius, Adam Feldman of New City, NY as Thomas, David Monti of Lodi as Gary, Will Nolan as Aloysius, Julia Heaney of Ridgefield as Diane and Vanessa Pellecchia of Poughkeepsie, NY as Philomena.  The team behind the scenes include Carol Fisher (Director); Joanne Misha (Producer); Jennifer Tardibuono (Assistant to the Director & Stage Manager); Steve Mintz (Set Design/Construction); Mark Montalbano (Décor, Properties, Program Notes); Joe Lanteri (Lighting Design); Tim Larsen (Sound Desig; Pat Bain (Costumes); Jordan Zaretsky (Sound Operator); Jennifer Cottone (Publicity); Michael Smith (Photography); Mark Montalbano (Programs) and Nancy Feldman (Member-at-Large).
