Meet the Cast & Crew of our last show - Courtship

Bridget Browning - Director

”A friend is someone who understands your past, believes in your future, and accepts you just the way
you are.” — Unknown

This is where “Courtship” begins, with Edward understanding that David needs to move forward and
begin going out again after the loss of his wife years earlier.
Heartwarming and funny, the play speaks to all of us of a certain age who have rejoined the dating
world, while offering up the predicaments and repercussions of others who meddle in those matters.
Larry and Pat, the two fine seasoned actors playing the roles are a good match and portray the theme of
friendship well. It has been my pleasure to work with them.
I hope you enjoy this play as much as I did directing it.

Steve Penman - Playwright

When my mother and father got divorced after 25 years, my mother moved in
with me for a while in Calgary. At fifty, she started over in the minefield of dating.
Some of her worries and experiences stuck with me. Quite a few years later, I
participated in a production of David Mamet’s “The Duck Variations”. I enjoyed it, but was a bit frustrated by not really knowing anything about the characters’ background. After a four-year side trip back to school for a B Ed in Drama Education, I had some spare time to write and the play evolved from those two points of inspiration.

Pat McDermott - Actor

Pat has a long history of directing and acting all over the lower mainland. He played the role of David in the filmed version of “Courtship” for Naked Stage during the pandemic days and now is very excited to be on stage to bring it to you again LIVE! He loves being part of the community theatre scene and hopes you all enjoy this wonderful show. THANKS TO ALL INVOLVED!

Larry Doan - Actor

Vancouver Actor/Singer Larry Doan is in his fifth decade of Theatrical performance. The
majority of his work has been in Light Opera and Musical Theatre having performed the Romantic Tenor lead in many Gilbert & Sullivan Operas as well as in “Brigadoon”, “Hello
Dolly” and “Forbidden Broadway”. Larry also sang with the Vancouver Opera Chorus for six seasons from 1987-1993. Larry's favourite non-musical experience was playing Scrooge in “A
Christmas Carol” with the Fraser Valley Stage in Abbotsford.
Larry is excited about his opportunity to perform for the first time with Naked Stage and to be doing it alongside his good friend Pat McDermott.

"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!"
