Julie Zylinsky ( Edith ) I attend Zanesville High School. This theater has been amazing and I hope to continue to be in plays at ZCT. Both the cast and directors are great and I'm so very fortunate to be able to work with such wonderful people. Theater is the thing I love to do most in life because it's always refreshing, exciting, and no matter how many plays one is in, there's always something new and useful to learn. |

Alice Mauk (Madame Arcati )Noel Coward's Blithe Spirit is one of my favorite plays, having directed it through the years for dinner theater, community theater and high school productions... The role of Madam Arcarti is a fun one for any mature actress, but I never dreamed that one day I would have this opportunity. Two weeks before production, the director called saying Sudi (the original Madam Arcarti) was in the hospital and asked if I would step in and try to fill her shoes. So with the help of two good directors, Melanie and Rick, a very understanding and supportive cast, a very patient producer and crew, here goes. Sudi, this one's for you. |
