Bakersfield Mist by Stephen Sachs

April 19-21 2024

Maude, an unemployed bartender, bought a painting for a few bucks from a thrift store and is now convinced it’s a lost masterpiece by Jackson Pollock. When art expert Lionel Percy arrives at her trailer home to authenticate the painting, he has no idea what he is about to discover. Inspired by true events, this hilarious and thought-provoking comedy-drama asks vital questions about what makes art and people truly authentic.

Meet the Cast & Crew of our next show - Bakersfield Mist

Bridget Browning - Director

On the surface,” Bakersfield Mist” is about a woman who purchased a cheap painting in a thrift store
only to learn it might actually be a masterpiece. She invites a world class art expert to assess the
painting’s authenticity.
Using the painting as a vehicle to navigate the conflict between truth and belief, the play explores much
more – it examines human nature and what guides our perceptions. Art may be in the eye of the
beholder, but what about class, income, education, common sense, or life experience?
These two characters personify these questions and ultimately reveal more about themselves and the
qualities we value more than the search for truth. I hope these are questions you will discuss long after
you have left the theatre.
Enjoy the show.

Larry Doan

This is Larry’s third production with Naked Stage having played Edward in Courtship and Frank in Alone
Together Again over the past year. Larry has been involved with many different Community Theatre
groups over the past 38 years. Most of his performances have been in Musical Theatre and light opera
where he has sung most of the lead tenor roles in the Gilbert and Sullivan repertoire over those years.
Some of them multiple times! Larry is loving the opportunity to be involved with Readers Theatre and
working with Director Bridget Browning once again. Larry hopes you enjoy this intense, funny play as
much as he and Heather are enjoying performing it.

Heather Christie

Heather is a seasoned actor, devoted wife, nurturing mother and cherished grandmother whose passion
for the stage has illuminated audiences on and off for much of her adult life. Heather has been involved
in theatre, film and TV, embodying a myriad of characters with depth, authenticity and grace. Most
recent theatre productions include playing Silda in “Other Desert Cities” and Mom in “The Best Divorce
Ever”, both with White Rock Players Club. Heather’s journey is a testament to the transformative power
of storytelling both on and off stage. In every role she leaves an indelible mark and hopes to do the
same in the role of Maude.

Patron Feedback

"I've missed only one or two of the performances so far, and I really enjoyed all of them. The chain-rattler in the play about Scrooge was excellent and the Southern Belles in the Sipping Society - I just loved them all!"
