All About Pauline Anne

Pauline Anne Schantzer joins the cast of E-mail: 9/12 presented by ...AND Company Theatre.

Pauline Anne Schantzer is a junior transfer student pursing a communications major and theater minor at Temple University. She says she auditioned for the play E-mail: 9/12 because of the director, Andre Brown. "His passion and persistence for the script inspired me," Schantzer explains. "I hope that the audience will feel as if they are physically there on the streets of NYC and connected to the characters that we are bringing to life."

E-mail: 9/12 recounts how people were able to connect via e-mail the day after the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center. At a time before Twitter and Facebook, on a day when when cell phone calls couldn't always get through, e-mail became a lifeline for people to connect, to laugh, to grieve, and to support one another. Penned by New Jersey Playwright Midge Guerrera, E-mail: 9/12 is based on her own experiences, of keeping in touch with family and friends online.

...AND Company Theatre is presenting the play as an ensemble piece. Schantzer gets to show off her acting range as she takes on characters as diverse as a shocked French-Canadian Institutional Trader, a sexy bride-to-be in her early fifties, and a terrified four-year-old girl.

Schantzer has been acting for four years, but says she always knew she was going to be a performer. "The moment I began to pursue acting was when I was 18, my mom told me that the only place I belonged was on a stage."

Performances are scheduled for one day only, Saturday, September 24th, 2011. 3pm Matinee and 7pm Evening show. Venue: Christ Church Neighborhood House Theatre located at 20 N American Street, Philadelphia, PA 19106. Tickets, $25. Discounts available in advance online. Tickets at the door will be sold on a cash only basis. More info: www.andcompanytheatre.org or 609-891-7555.

Stage Play E-mail: 9/12 marks debut performance for …AND Company Theatre

PHILADELPHIA, PA …AND Company Theatre performs the stage play E-mail: 9/12 at the Christ Church Neighborhood House at 3pm and 7pm on Saturday, September 24th, 2011.

The show explores how ordinary people connected through cyberspace immediately after the terrorist attacks on the twin towers. As phone communications were affected, they stayed in touch through e-mails, offering news of how they are doing, how they survived, stories of heroism, shock, and updates on those who didn't make it.

The production by …AND Company Theatre is being presented as an ensemble piece. The players take on different characters’ speaking roles, re-telling their e-mail stories, as the rest of the cast interacts and reacts to them, helping to bring the scenes to life.

E-mail: 9/12, written by New Jersey playwright Midge Guerrera, was first produced for one woman in 2004, and has undergone additional development since then. To mark the 10th anniversary of the events, the newly formed …AND Company Theatre is launching the production as an ensemble piece with six actors in Philadelphia.

To personalize the play E-mail: 9/12 for the Philadelphia audience, …AND Company Theatre invites people to include their own "e-mail monologues". The play was written to be able to include them throughout the performance. Ideally they will be in the range of 300 - 500 words. Anyone interested in submitting should follow-up with pr@andcompanytheatre.org.
