Aradhana Tiwari is a thrilled for The Way Of The Cards to be making its debut here at The Orlando Shakespeare Theater. Tiwari has an MA in Theater from the University of Central Florida in addition to Viewpoints and Suzuki training with the Siti Company in New York. Her directing credits include: Crimes Of The Heart, Steel Magnolias, The Goat Or Who Is Silvia?, Julius Caesar, Driving Miss Daisy, Little Women, It's A Wonderful Life, Lysistrata, The War Of The Worlds, The Little Foxes, and most recently The Diviners at the historic Garden Theater. Currently Tiwari is in pre-production for this year's Pink Ribbon Project in partnership with Florida Hospital Breast Cancer Institute. Last year the project raised over $5,000 for the F.H. Mammography Fund of Diagnostic Testing and Treatment for Uninsured and Under-Served Women in Central Florida. Her upcoming directorial work includes Connected: An Interactive Experience by Uncover The Color and Canvas Movement Coalition scheduled to make its international debut this May. Aradhana is grateful to the cast & crew along with Beth Marshall Presents & Bob & Marty Stonerock who helped The Way Of The Cards manifest to production. Lastly, she wishes to thank her producing partner Matt McGrath for always going "all in" on her creative endeavors and her supportive family for "never leaving the table."
Anthony Pyatt Jr. has been keeping himself quite busy these days! His last show was in Johnstown, PA, playing Brad in The Rocky Horror Show back in October. Now, in the midst of working on his first Beth Marshall Present's show (So excited and honored!), Anthony has been working on his next two projects. He just got done with Hamlet with the East Coast Rep Theater and In The Wings at the Studio Theater. Immediately after this, Anthony will be taking on the Orlando Fringe Festival for his second consecutive year! Only this year, he has the privilege of being cast in the east-coast premiere of Mysterious Skin as Brian in the Orange venue. Anthony is currently applying to Marymount Manhattan College and Circle In The Square Conservatory with the intent to move to NYC for college this fall. Thanks are well deserved towards God, family, and close friends for all of the strength, love, and support that has been given to him.
Gabriel Patrick would like to thank his parents for their support and Beth Marshall for her help in casting him. Gabriel has had the role of Kyle in the movie Sunlight Jr., but other than that this is his first theatre role. He has been so excited to be a part of The Way Of The Cards cast and would also like to thank Aradhana for such great guidance in making this an amazing production!
