Sue Barnett played Rose Arnott alongside Erik Hann as her husband Frederick. Chere Simmons photos.

Standing, from left, Delyse Axinn (Mrs. Graves), Jessica Mazza (Lady Caroline), Erik Hann (Frederick Arnott), Sue Barnett (Rose Arnott), Mary Winter (Costanza), and Kevin Steinke (Anthony Wilding).
Set designer Chuck Foell constructed eight separate stage sets — on wheels! — for the scenes taking place in the U.K. He and his wife painted the scenery for each one.

Behind the scenes there is always a bustling group that seamlessly makes a play a success. Jim Smith, sound and mics; Jeanne Naish, director of the play; and Ken Winter, sound effects.
The Pelican Players presented Enchanted April, at four performances April 7 – 9 in Veterans Theater in Kings Point. This touching comedy about two taken-for-granted British housewives pairs them with two dramatically original travelling companions who all embark on a month-long holiday on the Mediterranean. Actors and actresses are all local and proceeds from the performances help fund the group’s scholarship program.
