Walter DeShields is an experienced actor both on stage and on screen. On September 24, 2011, he'll be performing in ...AND Company Theatre's production of E-mail: 9/12 at 3pm and 7pm at Christ Church Neighborhood House Theatre in Philadelphia.
The play E-mail: 9/12 tells the story of how people were able to connect with one another via e-mail on the day after the September 11th attacks. On a day when phone communications weren't always working, friends and family used e-mail to keep in touch, to encourage one another, to grieve with each other, and to support those they love.
"I think this show gives a glimpse of humanity at one of its darkest moments, yet those affected shine the brightest," says DeShields.
About his part in the stage play E-mail: 9/12 presented by ...AND Company Theatre, DeShields explains, "I feel honored to tell this story. It so much more than a role, I truly feel these individuals' experience."
DeShields is a graduate of Penn State with a BA in Theatre and English. Among his film roles are parts in the movies Can't Judge a Book, Coochie Wars and The Playstation Killed the Puppet.
DeShields also regularly appears on stage in the greater Philadelphia and New York City areas. He appeared in the role of RICH in the stage play VI degrees. Most recently he portrayed WALTER LEE in the play Raisin in the Sun.
