Angel Street, also known as Gaslight is a 1938 thriller play, set in 1880s London, written by the British novelist and playwright Patrick Hamilton. Hamilton’s play is a dark tale of a marriage based on deceit and trickery, and a husband committed to driving his wife insane in order to steal from her. This play is a rather intriguing tale of deception and frustration at every turn.
Directed by Bonnie Ross1 and starring T. Sean Prescott2 and Jan Coloccia3, this is one suspenseful play that promisses to keep you on the edge of your seat. You won’t want to miss it!

The New Girl
Scott Christianson
Sergeant Rough
Scott discovered his love for acting and for Theater West 8 years ago when he was cast in a small part in The Odd Couple. From that point on, he has continued to pursue this way that he found to give back to the local community. Until Gaslight, he has preferred to be more of a supporting actor. When Gaslight came along, he embraced the challenge of a leading role and hopes that his performance will make the great detective Sergeant Rough proud!
Scott lives in Neotsu with his wife, his daughter and her fiance, his mother-in-law, and his newest love, his two-year-old granddaughter, Amaya. Both of Amaya’s parents are truly artistic using music and art as their ways of expression. Scott hopes that his acting will enhance Amaya’s love for all forms of artistic expression.

Nancy
Thanks again, to Theatre West, for keeping me busy. After spending most of my adult life in Colorado, I made the move to this area in 2020, with my partner Eric. We were both retired and looking for a new adventure. We moved during the pandemic, so it took a while for me to walk into Theatre West. Now, I m never far away. First cast in The Dining Room, I followed this with Panache, and recently, Harold & Maude. I have a lot of fun, and I get enormous satisfaction from audience reactions to the time and attention we all put into our craft. Thanks again, and again, to Eric, for supporting my avocation. He runs lines with me, cares for our puppy, gives up golf games, and is my PR guy with his golf associates. Thanks also to family and friends who clap, even when they’re not at the theatre. It takes a village.
