Sounds Like Essex

All of the material, stories/songs collected from the community and archives over the past year were scripted into “a live radio show”‘. The show will include stories, songs, dances, improv and audience participation in a collage of the rich heritage and present fabric of Essex and surrounding towns.

It is directed by Bill Feehely, who has an MFA in theatre from Rutgers University, was a founding member and Artistic Director of Actors Bridge Ensemble Theatre in Nashville and is a retired tenured Associate Professor of Acting/Directing at Belmont University. Heather Maxey, the Producer, has her BA in Theatre from St. Lawrence University. Heather has extensive experience in acting, improv, producing, and directing. Celeste Krenz is the Musical Directror and is a veteran touring singer-songwriter with over eleven albums to her credit with numerous songs landing on the Americana Music Chart. The final production of the season combines theater and music to form a glorious new origial production about the people and history of Essex, NY, and surrounding towns.
