An original production, "Unsinkable
Women: Stories and Songs from the Titanic," will be presented
at William Paterson University in Wayne on Saturday, February 1.
The performance begins at 2 p.m. in the Shea Center for Performing
Arts on campus. Tickets are $14 standard, $12 for senior citizens.
Parking is free.
Seven women who share one remarkable survival story come to life
in this new one-woman show. Stage and screen actress Deborah Jean
Templin transforms herself into society ladies like the "unsinkable"
Molly Brown and Madeline Astor, as well as ordinary women like stewardess
Violet Jessop. The program, based on independent research, includes
elements of storytelling, dance and song.
Templin is the recipient of the Barrymore Award for best actress
in a musical and the Richard Burton Award in acting. Her first tour
of the United States was as Grace Farrell in the hit musical "Annie,"
and she played the lead role of Auschwitz survivor Fania Fenelone
in "Playing for Time." Recently, she toured with the national
company of the musical "Titanic." Templin has served as
a resident professional theatre associate at Cornell University.
Templin's television work includes "Midnight Caller,"
"All My Children" and "Guiding Light" and she
has appeared in many films, most recently "The Insider."
