Grade One Entertainment Co-Founders on Memphis Stage

This February finds Grade One Co-Founders John Moore and Brian Churchill performing live on stage in Douglas Carter Beane's "The Country Club".  In addition to being independent filmmakers Brian and John are also involved in the local theatre, with this performance appearing on the Lohrey Stage at Theatre Memphis.  Directed by Jerry Chipman, "The Country Club" marks actor John Moore's tenth production and Churchill's first at Theatre Memphis.  

This also marks the first time in years on stage together.  Earlier this summer both appeared on film during production of the "By No Other Name" Promotional DVD, one of many projects happening as part of the launch of Namesake Pictures, LP announced just this month.

Laced with sharp dialogue and true-to-life moments, "The Country Club" is both lighthearted and serious as a group of upper-class WASPs of Wyomissing, Pennsylvania play out their lives at the local Country Club, only to discover they are no longer the young adults they once were.  Performances of "The Country Club" are scheduled on Theatre Memphis' Lohrey stage February 3-19. For tickets and show times, please contact the Theatre Memphis box office or visit www.theatrememphis.org.
