The cast of Philemon features Eddie Camara of Acushnet, Robert Duquette of Somerset, Aaron C. Viera of New Bedford, Eileen Caron of Marion, Kristina Dahlene of Middleboro, Jillian Rapoza of Fairhaven, and Tyler Rowe of Dartmouth.
Philemon has scenic design by Trevor Elliott of New Bedford, costumes by Cheryl Day of Fairhaven and Lois Craveiro of New Bedford, lights by Lawrence R. Houbre, Jr. of New Bedford, with Lawrence R. Houbre, III, also of New Bedford as production Stage Manager.
Philemon, set in the ancient Roman city of Antioch, with a blend of catchy tunes haunting melodies humor and theatrical flair, by the authors of The Fantastics, I Do! I Do! and 110 In The Shade, tells the story of a clown who finds himself face to face with a rigid commander who feels the clown should be sent to his death. But because the commander likes him, his life is spared on one condition: that he impersonate a missing Christian leader, Philemon, to enable the Romans to catch and execute more Christians. With no choice, the clown does the commander's bidding, but in doing so begins to feel for the persecuted. The clown “becomes" Philemon, overflowing with love and the hope for a more humane world, thus earning his redemption “…a very special show and a prodigious example of musical theatre ...New York Post
“It’s just what theatre music should be.” Cue Magazine
