The Timucua Arts Foundation (2000 South Summerlin Avenue Orlando, FL 32806) presented a staged reading of Field of Dreams. This staged reading was presented by, Michael Finn, an active film maker who gets incredible actors to read classic films. He reads the actual director’s notes, making the experience unique and fascinating. Here are a couple of the actors who are performed on February 23, 2021:
Cameron Francis – as Doc Graham & Archie Graham (plus other roles).
Kelly Tinsley (playing “Annie”).
Tom Nowicki – as Ray.
J LaRose – as Shoeless Joe Jackson.
Veronica Nia Kelly – as Karin (plus other roles).
Kenny Babel – as Terrance Mann & “The Voice”.
John Connon – as “Mark” & other roles.
Jenna Meyer – as “Veda” & other roles.
This was a fun new way to experience the classic film. As the film played silently the actors read the parts in the script while staying in sync. It was much like Rocky Horror meets the open Iowa farmlands. Look how close the actors sat next to one another. I miss documenting intimate theatrical evenings like this. If you vaccinate it will come.
