Bergen County Players to Present "From Screen to Stage"

(ORADELL, NJ) -- Bergen County Players (BCP), one of America's longest-running little theater companies, will present the final production of its successful 90th season, From Screen to Stage from June 9-11, 2023. Reprised from a concept originally seen on their stage in 2010, this is a new chance to see your favorite movie scenes from our American cinematic history come to life on the BCP stage as actors recreate them before your eyes.

Director Jacqueline McElroy-Poquette has directed over 30 wide-ranging productions at BCP, including A Streetcar Named Desire, Spamalot, A View from the Bridge, Man of La Mancha, the Perry Award-nominated Follies in Concert, 1776, and the Perry Award-winning The Beauty Queen of Leenane. She has also served on more than one occasion as chairperson of the Play & Casting Committee and has acted as mentor for many new directors or asa voice coach for singers.

“There is such a large number of classic movie scenes that deserve to be staged, so we are having a great time developing FROM SCREEN TO STAGE for your enjoyment,” says Poquette. “Each scene features a competition for power and the audience can decide who the winner will be. It should be an informative and fun evening for old and young alike.”

The talented cast includes David Arts of Wyckoff, Terry Cannon of Westwood, Emily and Leslie Darcy of Oakland, Margie Druss-Fodor of Westwood, Jeanmarie Garver-Gaydos of River Edge, Joann Lamneck of Hawthorne, David Luke of Wayne, Howell Mayer of Saddle Brook, Cassie Jo Romano of Emerson, Anthony Ventola of Oradell, and Cheryl and Glenn Woertz of Alpine.
