SCHENECTADY – Graham Greene’s “*The Potting Shed”, *directed by Joe 
Phillips*,//*will be presented as a free staged reading Saturday, April 
4, at 2:30 p.m. at the Schenectady Civic Playhouse, 12 So. Church 
Street, in Schenectady’s historic Stockade district.One performance 
only, it is part of a series celebrating Schenectady Civic Players’ 
87thseason.

Novelist, screenwriter and playwright Graham Greene's "The Potting Shed" 
is a Tony-nominated 1950's drama weaving together a family mystery with 
a mystery of faith.Twelve Civic Players and Capital area actors are 
featured in this production.

As a formerly famous aetheist scholar, Henry Callifer, lies on his 
deathbed, his estranged son James (played by *Peter Caracappa*) arrives 
at the family mansion, where the once-great man's loved ones are 
gathered, to pay his final respects. But his mother Mary Callifer 
(*Barbara Petersen**)*bars him from seeing the dying patriarch. Why? 
Mary's precocious teenaged granddaughter Anne (*Sophia Raup*) sets about 
to uncover the family secret, which James has blacked from his memory -- 
but which has torn his marriage to Sara (*Melissa Bergin*) asunder. The 
mystery revolves around another mysterious family member, Father William 
Callifer (*Konrad Raup*); a long-ago summer; and a shocking incident in 
the garden shed... and possibly, something miraculous.

Also in the cast are *George Filieau*as Henry's devoted acolyte, Dr. 
Frederic Baston; *William Sanderson*as Anne's widowed father, John 
Callifer; *Pat Brady***as Mrs. Potter, widow of the family's loyal 
former gardener; *John Quinan*as Corner, James' flatmate;.*Allison 
Aumick*as psychologist Dr. Kreuzer; and *Margot Phillips*as Father 
Callifer's housekeeper, Mrs. Callahan. *Mary Darcy*narrates the staged 
reading, which is directed by *Joe Phillips*, who helmed "Our Country's 
Good" for SCP several seasons ago.
