Taking the stage this weekend at the Renaissance Theatre is the play Crimes of the Heart, and over the next few days we'll feature some e-interviews with members of the cast.
Let's hear from Jason Kretzer:
Q: Tell us about the character you play.
Jason: "Doc Porter" is your classic rugged country boy who has come back to
Hazelhurst to take care of his father's farm. Though he is married and has two children, he still has a soft spot for Meg. Solid and centered, a couple of life altering events have left him looking attractively worn and older than he really is.
Q: What's the most challenging thing about this show?
Jason: For me, it was getting the level of emotion right. Sometimes, you have to go from really high to really low all in the same breath. There are a number of those instances for every character.
Q: What's your favorite scene in the show?
Jason: I don't want to give away a spoiler but it was the scene of inappropriate laughter in Act 3.
Q: Why would you recommend this show to our readers?
Jason: Probably not to younger readers, as there are some very heavy topics in this play. However, it is a very powerful drama and I urge people to come experience this slice of life. The dialogue is extraordinary and the performances of the three sisters really hit you in the gut, whether with laughter or tears.
Thanks, Jason! The show runs at ARTS (the Renaissance Theatre) Aug. 17, 18, 24 and 25 at 8 p.m. and Aug. 19 and 26 at 2 p.m.
