ACTOR’S MISSION PLANS FIVE PLAYS IN 2006: This comes from Mike Jeffrey in Rock Springs: The Actors' Mission has reorganized its board, in the process becoming more directed toward the community. We have established a "season" of five plays in 2006. Our upcoming production is called “Terms of Surrender.” It was written and directed by our co-founder Sharon Dolan and is set in 1945 Rock Springs at the Union Pacific Train Depot. “Terms of Surrender” features the talents of Mission regular Donovan Rawlings as Connor, a cowboy there to witness the arrival of his dead son on the train. The body is delivered by the Sergeant, played by Roy Hansen. Dave the ticket agent is played by Kirsten Mundschenk. Both are Mission regulars. Interaction is moderated by Emily, Dave's sister, played by newcomer Nina Kessner. Other actors include Mike Jeffery and newcomers Jasmine Weaver, Michelle Maser and John Mundschenk. The play explores Rock Springs history and the value of the UP during World War II. We have secured the use of the Rock Springs Depot for the entire run, Feb. 10, 11, 17 and 18. Performances will begin at 7 p.m. except for the 18th, which will start at 4 p.m. Our traditional and noteworthy soup will be served an hour before each performance. Admission is free; donations are gladly accepted. Mike adds that The Actor’s Mission is also looking for a new home because its downtown space has structural damage.
