What do you get when you combine six young actors looking to make it in the business, a Broadway producer who can’t cook and a staged murder? The Dickinson Community Players’ production of Francis Swann’s “Out of the Frying Pan.”

Lindsey Pasieka, a sophomore majoring in English, plays the young and cheerful Dottie Coburn. She commented that the plot of the play offers scenes of hilarious insanity throughout the performance.

“The characters all have these fantastic little quirks that come alive on stage in hilarious ways,” Pasieka said. “The show also offers romance, arguments, police officers, drugged girls and a gumbo-obsessed producer. If that doesn’t intrigue you, I don’t know what will.”

Jorge Granja, a junior majoring in human development who plays the handsome Tony Dennison, agreed that audiences should find the performance very entertaining.

“The show itself is a timeless piece in the sense that it shows the life of people striving to be actors but adds a comedic touch to it,” Granja said. “It’s enjoyable to see the relationships of the six main characters and how they work off of each other to try and achieve success.”

Granja explained that this production specifically has required a rehearsal process that involves more acting theory than the previous Dickinson Community Players shows he has been a part of.

“It helps the show and DCP as a club in general because we are developing as actors in technique and not just experience,” he said.

Pasieka also talked about the unique in-depth character development she did for this show, which she has not been asked to do for past productions.

“Our directors scheduled one-on-one meetings with each of us to discuss our roles,” Pasieka said. “They used techniques from Constantin Stanislavsky, Stella Adler and Sanford Meisner to help us go deeper into the text. They explored the subtleties of each scene and constantly encouraged us to raise the stakes and find new nuances in our characters.”

Binghamton University is in for a treat with this Dickinson Community Players production. It promises to go above and beyond what one is used to seeing from the club because of the time and dedication the actors and directors have put into the preparations for the performance.

Students can purchase tickets for “Out of the Frying Pan” for $3 at the door. The show premieres at 8 p.m. on Nov. 30 and has additional performances at 8 p.m. on Dec. 1 and 3 p.m. on Dec. 2 in the Chenango Champlain Collegiate Center’s Multipurpose Room.
