PACT Zoomcast: ‘Of Mice And Men’ production benefits nutrition program

Following the play will a 10-minute set of interviews with cast members that were recorded in 2012.

Gregory Gilbertson and Tom Butler have the lead roles as Lenny and George, and the cast includes Tom Burns, Jake Camp, Blaire Carroll, and David Dye.

While PACT — Performances at the Adult Center — is unable to stage live plays during the current health crisis, the group is doing its part to keep the theater “flame” alight with Zoomcasts of past Gorge-Area productions, noted director Lynda Dallman. Most recently, PACT presented “Twelfth Night” and “To Kill A Mockingbird.”

Dallman said, “As the director of the original 2012 production, it was both an honor and challenge to produce this Depression-era play about the hardships of life in rural Northern California. Fortunately for me and the audiences, every actor and crew member involved in the show worked hard to bring authenticity to their characters and to the set itself. The addition of musicians, Bill Harvey and Marc Harvey, who sang songs from that era, increased the audience’s enjoyment back in 2012 and will, hopefully, do the same for you today.”
