Role: John N. Fail
Venue: Mater Dei High School
Play: Failure: A Love Story by Phil Dawkins, Producer/Faculty Stage Manager: Mrs. Lissa Slay. November 18, 2021.
Story: By the end of 1928, all three Fail sisters will be dead — expiring in reverse order, youngest to oldest, from blunt object to the head, disappearance, and finally consumption. Tuneful songs, and a whimsical chorus follow the story of Nelly, Jenny June, and Gerty as they live out their lives above the family clock repair shop near the Chicago River, before their time unexpectedly runs out. A magical, musical fable where, in the end, the power of love is far greater than any individual’s successes or failures.
