Brewed starts its final weekend tomorrow, and we are the most excited. To celebrate, we're going to share some more bon mots from the lovely people who've helped bring the play to life. Next up: Erin Myers, who plays Paulette, and Casey Bentley, our fearless props designer.
Erin Myers (center) stirs a Casey Bentley cauldron, while Charlotte Mae Ellison (right) reaches for a Casey Bentley jar and Stevie Chaddock Lambert (left) sits in a Casey Bentley wheelchair.
What’s your name, and what on EARTH are you doing here?
Erin Myers. I dunno, acting and stuff.
How did you find yourself to being a part of Brewed?
Got invited to audition and knew I liked Anna's and Scott's work, was
really excited at auditions to discover how super-playable the
material was - how kinetic and active, and how fun everyone there was
to work with.
What about this play (if anything) excites you?
Lots of stuff - the fights, the turn-on-a-dime, love/hate
relationships, but it's becoming really thrilling as we keep running
it to have so many 4, 5, 6 and 7 person scenes in which everyone has
something huge at stake - it makes for a lot of threads of tension
running across the room - really dynamic scenes.
What about this play (if anything) scares you?
I love Paulette - I was thrilled when I was cast in that part because
she's my favorite, but she's not an obviously like-able person - she's
hard on herself, and on everyone around her and she's really angry,
you know? But she loves her family so much and I hope that comes
through, too. I hope her dilemma makes sense to people in the
audience as much as it does to me.
If your character was a professional wrestler or fighter, what would her signature move be?
A haymaker with a windup like Popeye - like, one, two , three, BAM!
In five words or less, why should people come see Brewed?
It's hilarious and terrifying.

And here's Casey!
What’s your name, and what on EARTH are you doing here?
I'm Casey Bentley and I am designing and building some props.
How did you find yourself to being a part of Brewed?
I'm an artistic associate with Tympanic and a friend of The Ruckus'. Last summer the companies hosted a fight workshop to get geared up for the show this season. I was asked if I could put together a rehearsal cauldron for the event and when someone asks you to make a cauldron, you don't say no.
What about this play (if anything) excites you?
The people. We have some truly talented folks on this production and I'm happy to be working with every one of them.
What about this play (if anything) was challenging?
Stevie wouldn't let me cut her legs off. i guess she's not that Method.
What's your favorite design moment/element of the show?
The violence looks great. I had to remind myself that it's choreographed the other night.
In five words or less, why should people come see Brewed?
These are no cat fights.
Join us for Brewed, Thursday-Sunday, and catch the sisters before they disappear for good.
