Caribbean Community Theatre concludes its 41st season with Sarah & Addie, a collection of short Crucian plays. There will be a total of six performances over two weekends: Fridays and Saturdays at 8 PM, June 12, 13, 19 and 20, and two Sunday matinée shows at 4 p.m. on June 14 and 21.
Written by the late Anton C. Teytaud in Crucian dialect, Sarah & Addie is a collage of entertaining vignettes centering on the island “market women” of the 1940s – 1960s who were looked to as important sources of humorous commentary, philosophy and the daily wisdom of the times. It has been said that in New York the best-informed people are the taxi drivers. In other places it is the local barbers. On St. Croix, if you wanted to find out the latest gossip, you went to the market.
Sarah & Addie is directed by Eileen Bishop Des Jardins. Cast members include Andrea Christian, Glenderlyn David, Sheelene Gumbs and Cleone Lynch as Sarah & Addie (2 sets), with Wanson Harris as “Lil Joe” and Michael Baker, Maia Franklin, Jessica Gallivan, Kathy Minnis-Olson, Robert Reffell, Diondra Setorie, and Carmen Simmonds appearing as customers, locals and tourists.

Tickets are sold at the box office at CCT prior to each performance: $20 for adults; $18 for senior citizens (age 65+); $15 for college students with ID and CCT members; and $10 for students/children under age 18.
