Fall From Grace, Rise To Glory

On Saturday, February 21st at 8:00 PM, the Rehoboth Beach Theatre of the Arts is proud to present the debut of the contemporary Gospel themed theatrical production, “Fall From Grace, Rise to Glory” produced by the award winning “All About The Drama” African American Theatre Group of Washington, DC.

Written by Tim Hicks and directed by Ella C. Davis, “Fall From Grace, Rise to Glory” is a contemporary urban "dramedy" that presents the motivational story of the ultimate betrayal, how one man pushed almost to the brink of death finds himself wrestling with his inner demons and questioning God.

An enriching combination of touching scenes, hilarious situations, and inspirational Gospel music will leave any audience breathlessly clinching their seats as they ride along in the storms of life so touchingly shared by the main character James.

RBTA Executive Director Hugo Immediato, Jr., is excited about being the first professional performance venue in the region to showcase a Contemporary Gospel theatrical production. “African-American gospel music in Delaware has a long and rich history of building strong communities with some extraordinary effects. I’m pleased to represent one of the first, if not the first, professional theatrical venue in the region to highlight productions of this nature. I think this show can fill a niche that seems to have been previously overlooked, and I’m pleased that the RBTA is able to host the debut of this noteworthy production”.

“Love Letters” at the Rehoboth Beach Theatre of the Arts on Saturday, Feb. 14, 2009.
Acclaimed romantic comedy written by A.R.Gurney on the RBTA stage just in time for Valentine’s Day.

If you’re looking for the perfect way to celebrate Valentine’s Day with the special person in your life, then look no further than the Rehoboth Beach Theatre of the Arts when they present A.R. Gurney’s acclaimed romantic comedy “Love Letters” on Saturday, February 14th with two performances at 4:00 PM and 8:00 PM.

Love Letters, starring Stacey Fearheiley and Eric C. Peterson, is a hilarious and touching, two-person play about a lifelong friendship, told entirely through letters. From their first scrawled valentines of childhood to their last goodbyes, Melissa and Andrew write their way from grade school through middle age in a play that's just perfect for Valentine's weekend.

The show, under the direction of Fay Jacobs, will star veteran Washington-area performers Stacy Fearheiley and Eric C. Peterson. Fearheiley was seen in Rehoboth last fall in The Vagina Monologues where she had sold-out audiences crying from laughter. Now, the actress will turn her talents to the equally comic, yet also very touching, Love Letters.

Co-star Eric Peterson has been a Rehoboth favorite in both musicals and comedies at the Rehoboth Art League and other venues. Peterson and Fearheiley have a long professional history starring together in both comic and dramatic productions. Among their many credits include Love Letters at the Art League in 1999 and 2005, the production Short & Sweet as well as productions of Lend Me A Tenor, and The Heidi Chronicles.

Director Fay Jacobs theatrical resume includes more than 30 years of professional productions in the Washington, D.C. area and she has directed several productions in Rehoboth and Lewes since 1997.
