Growing up watching parents David Cecsarini and Deborah Staples perform on countless Milwaukee stages, Miranda and Amalia Cecsarini, aged 14 and 10 respectively, caught the acting bug early.

Amalia is a fifth grader at Richards Elementary and recently shared the stage with her mother in A Christmas Carol. Amalia played Turkey Boy while Deborah played the Ghost of Christmas Past.

Both girls performed in a nearby production of Peter Pan at The Gard Theater, which Deborah described as a great way to get involved with the new place they were living.

“I remember Mom saying they were doing Peter Pan in Spring Green and that maybe I could do it,” Miranda recalls. “I was like, ‘me do a show? That’s awesome I want to do that!’”

“You guys may not remember this, but whenever you would come see A Christmas Carol you would always go, ‘Why can’t I be in that?,’” Deborah tells her daughters during a recent interview. “(David and I) would normally just go

Deborah‘oh…no...’”hasperformed in over 65 productions as an associate artist with the Milwaukee Repertory Theater while David has been the producing artistic director at Next Act Theatre for 25 years. Although the parents joke about initially trying to discourage their daughters from theatre, they ultimately found the art form helped the girls establish a sense of “Wecommunity.foundtheatre was an act of inclusion for our family,” Deborah says. “I think that’s what theatre is, it embraces everyone wherever they may fit into a culture or society.”

Miranda is now a freshman at Whitefish Bay High School and most recently starred as Pepper in Skylight Music Theatre’s Annie. She shared that balancing her schoolwork with productions has become more difficult with the added workload that high school provides. However, she looks forward to performing with the Whitefish Bay High School Theatre Department, which Mom and Dad both agree will be easier on her schedule.

This sense of community first came when the family spent a summer in Spring Green, where Mom worked at American Players Theatre.

Acting is a Family Affair

Mom, Dad and daughters reflect on a life on stage

David will play Sir Robert Cecil in Next Act’s Equivocation. In the play by Bill Cain, Robert Cecil commissions William Shakespeare to write the true history of the Gunpowder Plot — a failed attempt to kill King James I. “It’s such a wildly interesting piece,” David comments. “It’s something out of the ordinary for us at Next Act, yet on the other hand it falls right down our name runway in what it has to say.” So do Miranda and Amalia plan to follow in their parents’ footsteps and pursue careers in theatre?

“I really wanted to be an actress for a long time, but other stuff isn’t out of the question,” Miranda says. “They (her parents) want me to be a politician or a lawyer or something like Deborahthat.” explains that she and David will support the girls in whatever they choose to pursue, but as they have learned the hard way, theatre is a difficult business with little job

“Havingsecurity.seen the liabilities, of course we want an easier life for our kids,” Deborah says. “I don’t want them to not get anything out of performing, but there are other things in this world that they might be able to have that I haven’t had, and that’s exciting to me.”

“That’s the one thing about live performers,” David continues. “You don’t have job security on one hand, yet when you have the job you are very secure because the company can’t do the show without you.”

be challenged in different ways and like having to reinvent myself for different projects so people don’t know it’s me or are surprised by it,” Deborah says. “I like looking at a season and saying how can I make these three things as different as I can?”

An actor’s resume attempts to cover a lot of territory. Beneath the description (eyes, hair and height), and the list of roles and shows, there’s a category that theatrical patrons rarely see. It’s called “special skills,” and it includes the unusual and quirky kinds of expertise that are often only used a few times in an actor’s entire career. The most common skills – accents, juggling and stage combat – are listed on many actors’ resumes. The ability to play a musical instrument, however, could land someone a part, if the show requires actors to double as musicians. Those who can do impressions of a particular celebrity would be more likely to land a role playing that celebrity than an actor who neither looks nor sounds like the part during auditions. Very rarely, a special skill is essential to capturing a role. Consider Marguerite Willbanks, the actor who spent an entire show singing off-key as Florence Foster Jenkins during the Milwaukee Repertory Theater run of Souvenir (which closed November 5, 2017).

“I had never consciously tried singing off-key during a show,” says Willbanks, a trained opera singer who has been singing professionally for 25 years. However, she admits to being born into “a family of singers.” Getting attention wasn’t easy, so Willbanks intentionally sang off-key. “So it’s not like I wasn’t familiar with how to do it,” she says during a phone Willbanksinterview.

Off-Key Singing, Juggling and Martial Arts Actors Draw on Their “Special Skills”

milwaukee FOOTNOTES

In preparation for the role of Florence Foster Jenkins, Willbanks spent a great deal of time listening to early recordings of her songs. “You can tell in her voice that she was passionate about music,” Willbanks notes. At the end of the show, Willbanks practically brings the audience to tears with her perfectly in-tune rendition of Ave Maria. “That’s what Florence thought she actually sounded like,” Willbanks notes.

Another actor, Nathan Marinan from Minnesota’s Twin Cities, also had some learning to do prior to the opening of the circus musical, Carnival, which played April 21 – May 14 at In Tandem Theatre. More recently, Marinan was one of three characters who managed to play the entire cast of A Christmas Carol in the production of Scrooge in Rouge (which played through January 7).

spends almost the entire show singing off-key, sometimes hitting a proper note or two before singing flat notes or ultra-high notes. She says that the only difficult part of learning the role was when Jack Forbes Wilson, the pianist who becomes Florence’s dear friend and protector, bangs the correct notes on his keyboard. “I really try to listen to the character, and not to Jack,” she says. In real life, Willbanks has perfect pitch.

You’d think this unique skill would make Myers a go-to for scary films. Guess again. Myers says she HATES scary movies, and has never seen The Exorcist, It or Get Out. Go figure.

Myers worked with a vocal coach during that play, so she wouldn’t strain her voice.

For his part in Carnival, Marinan had to look like a professional puppeteer. Having never done this previously, Larry LaFontsee from Milwaukee Public Theatre coached him and co-actor J. Keegan Siebken through several sessions prior to opening. Marinan played Jacquot, and Siebken was Paul. Luckily, the costume designer made the puppets in advance, so the guys could rehearse with Christhem.Flieller, In Tandem’s artistic director, provided vocal coaching to help identify the puppets’ distinct voices. The puppets had to sing as well as say lines, but it was all a joy to “InMarinan.college, my favorite class was very physical, learning how to use body movement,” he said. “This was really a treat –playing several characters in the same show, almost Audiencessimultaneously.atRenaissance Theaterworks production of Caryl Churchill’s Top Girls (starting April 6) will never guess one of Karissa Murrell Myers’ “special skills.” In the show, Myers plays Lady Nijo/Win, a Japanese noble woman who lived centuries ago. Myers, a Chicagoan, is known for her screaming. According to Myers’ mother, her screaming started when she was just a baby. As a toddler, she was a “very noisy child” in general, who also was fond of screaming. This came in handy when Myers was cast in a production of Uncle Vanya and the Zombies in Hawaii, when she was in graduate school. And back on the mainland, Myers also had to scream when playing Ruth in Noel Coward’s play, Blithe Spirit Her most ambitious screaming was during Zombies, when her character had to put her hand in a working garbage disposal for several minutes. Apparently, technicians working inside the sink were able to convert the hand to a bloody stump before Myers pulled it out.

She has found that her screams are also useful in getting voice-over work. Myers says the trick to doing her most-requested scream, the “blood-curdling variety,” is to begin with a high pitch (she studied opera in college, too).

9Animal FarmA NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR

Animal Farm Director Milwaukee

My work as a director stems from a desire to push the world in a certain direction, to alter other people’s idea of the kind of society that they should strive after. Theater is an act of citizenry – it is an act of participation in an engagement of ideas. My direct aim in this production is not to sway political affiliations, but rather for us to think critically on the very nature of civilization and governance.

This preeminent political fable, Animal Farm, lays out the anatomy of all political revolutions, where the revolutionary ideals of justice, equality and fraternity inevitably shatter. There will always be those that exploit others in order to gain advantage. There will always be pigs. The only change will be the identity of the masters.

To prepare for this production of Animal Farm, I looked at key images from each stage of the revolution. I wanted to explore what kind of life a man had to endure before fighting for more than survival. We looked at cruel and harsh labor conditions. We took images of soulless industrial and migrant farms with abusive labor practices as well as images of poverty, homelessness and extreme hunger. We poured over images of the Bolshevik Revolution, Tiananmen Square and Ukrainian Maidan Revolution. We looked at major movements in our recent history, the Civil Rights Movement, Ferguson and Black Lives Matter, Women’s March, political rallies from both the Left and the Right. With the company, we devised the movement sections by taking these images and translating them to the stage.

May

This allegorical story is as powerful now as it was in 1945. The cruel repetition of history reminds us how tenuous and fragile human freedom is. In a world in which there will always be pigs, we take away a powerful moral. Revolutions are only successful when the masses have the education to be alert and can be ready to speak out. The systematic gutting of education and the elimination of democratizing social programs have hindered the ability to demand equality. The vilification of the opposition, fear mongering, and rapid fire proliferation of false news create mass confusion. With a magician’s sleight of hand, dominant forces can make one forget real sources of discontent. Education is only real weapon against tyranny. As Orwell warns, “To see what is in front of one’s nose needs a constant struggle.” Adrales Rep Associate Artistic Director
