The Thin Place at Post Mortem Players - OCT Black Box

Kara Barnette (she/her) loves all things horror & this show has been extra special to her. You may have seen her at Old Courthouse Theatre as Dr. Einstein in "Arsenic & Old Lace," Miss Sandra in “All Shook Up,” or Alice Beineke in “Addams Family.” She enjoyed being a part of PMP's inaugural Hallowine & Christmas Spirit performances in 2022. She sends big love to her husband, Alex, and dedicates this performance to her mom. Her mother passed 2 years ago, but they still communicate because she's always listening...

Victoria is grateful for the opportunity to appear in this unique and very special little play with Post Mortem Players, and she hopes you’ll enjoy the journey with her. Victoria majored in Theater Arts at the University of Cincinnati and has had the privilege through the years to portray some great characters such as Blanche Dubois in “A Streetcar Named Desire”, Martha in “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?”, and Ruth Condomine in “Blithe Spirit”. She would like to thank Holly for all the guidance and creativity, Jackie for her support and hard work, and the rest of the cast for being so strong to be onstage with. Lots of love to her two wonderful daughters Angie and Hilary, to Alex, and to her grandsons Jameson and Jensen who make life bright and sweet. Wolfie and Bowie, I’ll be home soon for your nightly walk.

Sara is returning to the theater for the first time since Covid, and while 5 years is just enough time to become rusty, she has reveled in the opportunity to play once again! Previously, she would have been seen in several productions at Lee Street Theater of Salisbury including roles in Boeing Boeing, Kimberly Akimbo, Parchman Hour and more. The Old Courthouse Theater and the cast and director for The Thin Place has reignited her desire to perform and she is grateful for the opportunity to not only play, but to also become a part of the Concord community. Sara is Mom to son Gabe (14) and works as a kitchen and bath designer.

Jon is thrilled be be taking the stage in his first PMP production. He is no stranger to regional stages as he has worked with theaters here in Concord as well as Salisbury, Charlotte and Albemarle. Please enjoy the show.
