The Evangeline Players will present Dave McGrath's stage adaptation of the 1947 MGM classic film THE BISHOP'S WIFE for six performances. The show was first performed December 2008 by the Performance with Passion Players at the Eatontown Playhouse in Eatontown, New Jersey. The play runs November 11-20 with 7:30 PM performances on November 11, 12, 18 and 19 and 2:00 PM performances on November 13 and 20. Tickets are $10.00 and reservations can be made through Shamrock Office Supply (394-5574) or the Duchamp Opera House (394-6604) or purchased at the door. The Opera House is located at 200 S. Main St. in St. Martinville at the intersection of Hwy. 31 and 96.
The story concerns an angel named Dudley (Steven "Smitty" Smith) who is sent from Heaven to help an Anglican Bishop named Henry Brougham (Dylon Boudreaux) in a moment of personal crisis. Dudley finds himself drawn to the possibility of human life and love by his attraction to the bishop's wife, Julia (Adel Comeaux) and his fondness for Debby, Julia and Henry's daughter (Mary Gomez).
Henry's life is being complicated by the interference of a wealthy widow, Agnes Hamilton (Carmen Nicholson). Eventually, he turns to Prof. Wutheridge (Milton Resweber), an old family friend, for some much needed advice.
The cast also includes Patricia Sibley Fournet as Matilda, the housekeeper, Sierra Ann Bourque as Mildred Cassaway, the bishop's secretary and Dr. Kenneth Fournet as Mr. Perry, the Cathedral architect and as Stevens, Mrs. Hamilton's butler.
