Two antagonistic families battling the forces of addiction converge in Robert O'Hara's acerbic social satire BARBECUE, which finishes its run this weekend in the Firemen's Kitchen at HCT, March 7th-9th.
Appearing as Marie in this production is Shawna Wilson.
Born and raised in Florida, Wilson has been living in the Hickory area for the past three years. She holds a degree in Theatre Performance from the University of Southern Florida and currently works as a Software Analyst for Texas Instruments.
Area audiences know Wilson for both her acting and directing talents. Among those directing credits are EXIT PURSUED BY A BEAR, RIPCORD and END DAYS, all at Hickory Community Theatre. Acting roles of note include Mrs. Lovett in SWEENEY TODD, Angelica in THE ROVER, Mrs. Dilber in A CHRISTMAS CAROL, and Gertrude in THE SEAHORSE.
Says Wilson of her character: "Who doesn't love a funny drunk?" Wilson is grateful for the variety of shows produced by Hickory Community Theatre, including once as "funny and thought-provoking" as BARBECUE.
