Hey, The Barb is in Studio Theatre's Production of Grapes of Wrath. The play runs at the Timms Centre October 1-10.

The following page is a bit of a rogues gallery of cast and crew. For photos of the cast in their costumes and goofing around backstage, please see Backstage at the Grapes of Wrath. Also check out some of the fabulous Reviews for The Grapes of Wrath.

The cast and crew (in no particular order, except that I'm first -- hey, it's my website!)

The Barb and Kourch Chan, "The Narrators" and that's Jeremy Parnmukh playing the "Narrator Boy" on the right.

Our fearless leader, Kevin Sutley is a very strict director. He keeps us in line by beating us to death with his sunflower when our acting isn't up to snuff. You have no idea how fierce a man with a sunflower can be!

Assistant Stage Manager: Amanda

Assistant Director Glenda Stirling

The power behind the throne Stage Manager Sharon Simper

Here are the adult Joads. That's Pa (Dale Wilson), Ma (Linda Huffman), and Uncle John (Robert Corness). A little too happy looking given their circumstances dontcha think? They must've all partaken of Uncle John's hooch.

And here are the Junior Joads. Ruthie (Megan Holland) and Winfield (Jeffery Moulton).

More Joads. We have Tom (Jimmy Hodges), Al (Adam Joe), Rose of Sharon (Amy van Keeken) and Noah (Jared Matsunaga-Turnbull)

Also along for the ride: Connie (Troy Anthony Young), Grampa (John Hutchison), Grandma (Joan Munro) and Casey (John Kirkpatrick).

	The set is too cool for words. And so is the sound designer (Robert Clinton)
Check out the musicians as well: Robert Clinton, Sarah Card and Grant Dryden
