ARTICLES AND REVIEWS
ARTICLES
ABET’s production offers a rare opportunity to see Deborah Jordan, head of the acting/directing program at Jacksonville University, perform in the community theater setting. Jordan plays the lead role of Helen Alving.
- TAMARA McCLARAN, Shorelines | READ FULL ARTICLE…Ibsen is known as the founder of modern prose drama, and many of his plays can stand alone as works of literature.”Ghosts” delivers that kind of literary punch.

Erik DeCicco is making his community theatre directing debut, and judging from the results I saw on stage, he will be directing many more. He is playing the important role of Oswald the son, not through choice but as sometimes happens, people drop out of plays and substitutions must be made. In this case, DeCicco would have been my initial choice, he is perfect for the role, and his scene with his mother at the end of Act II is one of the dramatic highlights of the year in local theatre.
- DICK KEREKES, eu Jacksonville | READ FULL REVIEW…Deborah Jordan… plays Helen Alving. She is on stage performing most of the show and does an excellent job conveying her character’s difficult and challenging emotional journey. She appears so natural on stage, not as though she is playing a role. It’s been five years since Jordan has performed on stage in the community theater setting and it is a rare treat.
