Fairy tales in the face of pan-cultural misogyny.
“When a boy changes his life, it’s called an adventure. When a girl does the same, it’s only a fairy tale.” A magical web of interconnected stories about power, transformation, and choosing one’s own path in the world. These age-old fairy tales are given a new feminist spin as women young and old tell their own stories of love, hate, honor and revenge, and passion and deception. The particular becomes universal — the world is reimagined through a lens of equity.

Jamie Rea
A renaissance woman of the theatre and a proud member of Actor's Equity, Jamie has had the pleasure of exploring this powerful tool for connection and change for over 20 years. She has studied the work of Sanford Meisner & Robert Bray with Barry Hunt & Sowelu Theatre Ensemble; Suzuki Technique & Anne Bogart's Viewpoints with the SITI Company (NYC); Rhythm Tap with Savion Glover's teacher Lady Diane Walker & Lane Alexander, founder of the National Tap Dance Festival in Chicago; and Devising Theatre with the late Scott Kelman of Joseph Chaikin’s Open Theatre (NYC). Seen previously as Kelly in Corrib Theatre’s, The Hen Night Ephiphany, Jamie is thrilled to return to Corrib’s stage with another all-female team of powerhouses. She was seen last season as Olympe DeGouges in Artist Repertory Theatre’s The Revolutionists, Amy in Profile Theatre’s In the Wake, and as Dawn in Profile’s The Secretaries. Additional local favorites include Macbeth in Macbeth & Kristine (Drammy award, Best Supporting Actress) in A Doll’s House (Shaking the Tree Theatre), Anna (Drammy Finalist, Best Actress) in The Snowstorm (CoHo & Many Hats Productions), Mary Shelley in Bloody Poetry (NW Classical Theatre Co), and Gabriella in References to Salvador Dali make me hot (Milagro). She is co-founding Artistic Director of the Beirut Wedding World Theatre Project.
Diane Kondrat
Diane Kondrat is delighted to appear for the first time with Corrib Theatre. Living in Portland since 2013, she's most recently worked with Third Rail Repertory in Mother, Come Home and John; Defunkt Theatre in Girl in the Red Corner (Drammy for Best Supporting Actor); and Coho Productions' Radiant Vermin. She honors Dionysian chaos by regularly performing with Sam Dinkowitz's sketch comedy monster Spectravagasm, and coaches actors in the Open Hearts Open Minds' Shakespeare program at Two Rivers Correctional Institution. She will be seen in the upcoming season of NetFlix's Trinkets. Years of performing, from complicated professional productions to bare-bones shows in prisons, have instilled in her a steadfast respect and an unquenchable yearning for the mystery and inspiration of theatre. dianekondrat.com
