D I R E C TO R ’ S B I O Eddie Phillips, aka “Mr. P,” is happy to be directing another soon-to-be smash hit on the stage at St. Bruno’s. He loves working with the kids. He enjoys seeing all the personalities come to life on stage and seeing the plan 2 St. Bruno’s
come together in the end. This play is about the “Mallards” which, sadly, has gone to his head as he recently adopted a new pet that you may have seen waddling the hallways of the school. Mr. P is now collecting signatures to recall the school’s current mascot in favor of a duck. His only wish is that this show doesn’t lay an egg...
