The story of Winston Smith, a cog in the giant machine state of Oceania… physically and mentally under the ever-present eye of Big Brother.
ACT’s first production of the 2018-2019 season is the iconic 1984 adapted by Robert Owens, Wilton E. Hall, Jr., and William A. Miles, Jr. Based on the iconic novel by George Orwell, 1984 is a provocative adaptation of one of the most prescient works of literature of the last century.
For those who read Orwell’s novel in school, the society portrayed was absolutely unbelievable. However, today one wonders if it might not be possible after all…if we are not vigilant and aware.
Director Margaret Kaler has assembled a powerful cast to bring to life this tale of the omni-present Big Brother. They are: Jon Beshara, Kathryn Masters, Jennifer Latka, Guy Tillis, Katie Timoney, Natalie Beltrami, Shari Little, David Williams, and Shelby Roy.
The production will have six performances over two weekends on October 26, 27, 28 and November 2, 3, 4 at the Lincolnville Museum and Cultural Center at 102 ML King Ave., downtown St. Augustine. The Friday and Saturday performances are at 7:30pm, Sunday matinees are at 2:00pm. Tickets are $20 and are available online at http://www.aclassictheatre.org/tickets.

Her presentation, titled “Florida and Cuba: Five Centuries of Shared History and Culture” is part of Flagler College’s Ideas & Images series.
Johnson suspects that some will find certain points of her research to be surprising.
“One of the least known Cuban exile communities, Marti City, was in Ocala and had seven cigar factories – only Tampa and Jacksonville had more,” she said.
Flagler College’s Ideas & Images: Scholars and Artists-in-Residence program brings nationally and internationally-renowned experts to the campus, building on a tradition established when Henry Flagler’s Hotel Ponce de Leon served as an inspiration for stories, a haven for new ideas, a canvas for artistic endeavors, a showcase for new technology and a setting for athletic competitions. In its first decade, nearly 100 scholars and artists have participated in the program. This year’s series was specially created for the 50th anniversary of Flagler College, 1968-2018.
Johnson’s Oct. 25 presentation will be held in the Flagler Room of Ponce de Leon Hall, located at 74 King Street, from 7 to 8:30 p.m.
