AN INSPECTOR CALLS to Grip Audiences at ActorsNET This June

J.B. Priestley's atmospheric thriller An Inspector Calls grips The Heritage Center Theatre stage in Morrisville, Pennsylvania, in June.

James Cordingley of Lawrenceville, New Jersey directs this classic mystery. A wealthy British family is celebrating the daughter's engagement when the party is disrupted by a police inspector who is investigating a suicide. The inspector reveals each person at the table shares responsibility for the death!

Mort Paterson of Philadelphia portrays Inspector Goole, whose relentless interrogation exposes shocking secrets about the family members' misdeeds. Real life husband and wife George Hartpence and Carol Thompson of New Hope, Pennsylvania play the parents -- Arthur and Sybil Birling. He has been climbing twin ladders of success, as a businessman and politician, proving himself to be as ruthless as he is cunning - aided and abetted by his scheming wife.

Tammy Goldberg of Buckingham, Pennsylvania plays the daughter, Sheila Birling. Tim Swain of New York appears as her fiancé, Gerald Croft - the son of a magnate even more powerful than Birling. Tom Smith of Morrisville is cast as Eric Birling, whose hard-drinking lifestyle led him to a scandal uncovered by the inspector. Hana Christenson of Pennington, New Jersey rounds out the cast as Edna the Maid, also doing double duty as the show's stage manager.

"An Inspector Calls is a spell-binding evening of theatre," according to director Cordingley. "There is an 'other worldly quality' to Inspector Goole. His penetrating interrogation technique leaves those being questioned no room for evasion. It is as if each and every person in the household is living through their own Judgement Day."

The production team includes Joanne Cordingley of Lawrenceville as assistant director. Lighting design is by Andrena Wishnie of Morrisville. Costume design is by Ruth Schanbacher of Yardley, Pennsylvania.

Performing weekends June 2 - 18, An Inspector Calls is being staged at The Heritage Center Theatre, 635 N. Delmorr Avenue (Route 32), Morrisville - near the Calhoun Street Bridge. Show times are Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m.

A complimentary wine and cheese party follows opening night. The second Friday of the run, June 9, is Talk Back Night - when audience members may remain to discuss the show with the cast and production team.
