Dirt

Dirt

by Ron Chambers

February 6–25, 1996

If I blow the whistle I’ll lose my job. I always wanted to be a cop. Action. Excitement. Pays the mortgage. Nice benefits. The wife’ll be PISSED!
Dirt

It’s wild, it’s foul, it’s political, it’s hysterically funny. Dirt is a murder mystery with only one suspect and a cop with an agenda. Ron Chambers harnesses all of his sharp tongued wit and keen ear for a good story in this cutting look at what happens when society gives itself permission to get rid of its “undesirables”. A wickedly funny play not for the faint of heart. Fasten your seatbelts.

Julien has been acting, directing, and teaching professionally here in Edmonton for about 20 years. He has worked with many of city’s theatres, including The Citadel Theatre, Teatro La Quindicina, Workshop West, Theatre Network, Leave It To Jane, and Northern Light Theatre. His recent acting credits include Happy Toes at this year’s fringe, as well as As You Like It and Richard III with the Freewill Shakespeare Festival in July. His last two shows at Network (as an actor) were Closer and Closer Apart, and the popular Irish comedy A Skull in Connemara. Julien also directed the sequel to that play The Lonesome West as a part of last season’s Roxy Performance Series, featuring two of his present classmates, Collin and James. Look for Julien later this season in the Citadel’s annual production of A Christmas Carol, as well as The Wizard of Oz. Julien would like to thank Brad Moss for his great generosity of spirit, and for all his great advice and encouragement over the last several years.
