Here is Cherene Snow (Pearl) & Bernadette Quigley (Susannah) at the PostScript talkback where the actors answer questions from the audience. PostScript is always the Thursday after opening night.

(They drink water like fish.) Here is some more interesting information about them:
Cherene Snow hails from Chicago (south side) and first got into theatre after doing her first film at the age of 13. For this show she had to learn polyrhythmic percussion,
presented as "juba" in the play which is also known as "hambone." When asked what she likes about Greensboro she replied, "I like this theatre, the people of Greensboro, and the rhythm of the city."
Bernadette Quigley hails from Peekskill, New York, and started out as a dancer and then knew she belonged to theatre after performing as Helen Keller in The Miracle Worker. For this show, however, she had to relearn the autoharp & how to "navigate my way through some enormously painful moments of racial tension & misunderstanding in the play." When asked what she likes about Greensboro she complimented the lovely staff of Triad Stage (thank you, Bernadette, you are too kind), and then gushed about the great restaurants--especially the Simple Kneads bakery across the street.
