The Weir by Conor McPherson

Enjoy an evening of ghost stories under the stars.

The Weir

With the wind whistling outside, what starts out as blarney soon darkens as the tales drift into the realm of the supernatural. Then, Valerie reveals a startling story of her own…”

Sheila Hennesey as Sherri – Sheila Hennessey is a Boise native who happily moved home in 2018 and leads fundraising for BCT as Director of Development. She appeared in BCT’s The Show on the Roof and in several BCT readings. Sheila holds an MFA in Classical Acting from the Shakespeare Theater Co. in Washington DC. Her work has ranged from black box spaces to the stage of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra hall, from Shakespeare to brand-new plays. Film/TV credits include The Wire; Homicide: Life on the Street; America’s Most Wanted; Hallmark Hall of Fame; and Days of Our Lives.

Jeremy Kendall as Bill – Jeremy has been acting professionally for over 30 years. Favorite roles include Hamlet, Samuel in the indie feature Lilith and Violet Bick in the one man show This Wonderful Life. (Mr. Potter was a close 2nd.) Peace!

Davey Collins as Charlie – Davey Collins (he/him) is so excited to be back with his buddies at BCT. He loves this place, and is an ardent believer in the endless wonder and bravery of creatives in this region. Previous credits: The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime (BCT); Stuart Little, The Magician’s Nephew (ITY); Small Matters, Another Agatha at Treefort 2021 (Migration Theory).

Marissa Price as Ginnie – Marissa Price is a Boise-born actress who spent some artistically formative years acting in Seattle before returning to her hometown to start a family. A self-described Jill-of-All-Trades, Marissa is an actress, mother, clothing designer, real estate agent, craftaholic, fitness fan, and all-around maker-of-things. She hopes tonight’s performance of Admissions makes you smile, squirm, and subscribe to BCT!

Patti O’Hara as Roberta – Patti has laughed, cried, sung, and died on community and professional stages in Wisconsin, Illinois, and for the past 18 years, beautiful Boise.
