Throwing back to February 2011 with our second production of Love, What’s Your Perspective? performed in rep at the Players’ Ring with V-Day 2011 Anyone of Us: Words from Prison.

Love was once again a thematic show of locally written original one act plays, short stories and poetry paired with live music and a gallery featuring local art and The Players’ Ring was the beneficiary, HAVEN was the beneficiary for V-Day Portsmouth.

Justin MacDougall will portray Frank Strang in Equus. An odd confluence of too-free time, unscrupulous doses of middle-aged “well, why not?” and some unquantifiable  amounts of impalpable luck nudged Justin into theatre-sanctioned shenanigans back in early 2014. Not at all accustomed to such benign boopity-doops, (as evidenced by his unnerved laughter and steep increase in tobacco intake), he endeavors, nonetheless, to pay back full-as-he-can the long debt of wonders accrued. Justin wishes to express his love, adoration & deepest thanks to Joi and Danica for their trust, their support and for their unassailable belief that something good, something true and worthwhile might be available in me for this production; especially, he would like to acknowledge and express his awe, his adulation and his appreciation for this immemorial cast and crew of warm souls & formidable talents. Nothing will manage to be the same after what they have all taught, shared and gifted him through this experience.
