The cast of *Fiction *by Stephen Dietz, which is receiving its regional
premiere at Actors’ Summit, features two of the theater’s regular company
members and one newcomer.



Company members Sally Groth and Bob Keefe play the married authors at the
core of the play.  *Fiction* is a play about the intersection of literary
fiction and life.   The key element is that husband and wife has kept
detailed private diaries of their lives.  When Linda (Sally Groth) reads
her husband’s diaries, she discovers events which Michael (Bob Keefe) has
kept hidden from her.



Newcomer Cassandra Capocci is a woman Michael meets at a writer’s colony.
Her relationship with both of them fuels the conflicts between the couple.



   *Sally Groth** (Linda Waterman) has performed in many productions at
Actors' Summit, most recently in *Woody Guthrie's American Song* last
season.  Other Northeast Ohio theaters where she has performed include the
Beck Center, Cleveland Public Theater, Ensemble Theater and Porthouse
Theatre.  She has performed in numerous off-off Broadway theaters,
(including Naked Angels), independent films (Bix, 1991 Cannes) and played
the fiddle in several rock bands (CBGB's, NYC).  Regional credits include
the Shakespeare Theatre in D.C., The Denver Center Theater, The Wayside
Theater in VA, Trustus Theater in SC, The USC Repertory Company, Nettle
Creek Players in IN and a national tour of *The**
Little Prince*.  She has an MFA from the University of South Carolina and a
BA from Hiram College.



   *Bob Keefe* (Michael Waterman) is returning for his 12th production here
at the Actors' Summit.  Roles in past shows include Zoltan in the world
premiere of *Tremont* (with Sally Groth), Joe in *Becky's New Car*, and
Marley in *A Christmas Carol*.  Later this winter, he will be performing in
*Flanagan's Wake* at Playhouse Square* *in Downtown Cleveland.  Bob is also
a motivational speaker for fitness and wellness and recently appeared on
Cable 9's "Mind, Body, and Spirit."



   *Cassandra Capocci* (Abby Drake) is making her debut with Actors’ Summit
in this production. A native of Canton, Cassandra recently returned to Ohio
from Los Angeles where she worked as a freelance actor. Her credits include
work at Magical Theatre in Barberton, Downtown Theatre Classics in
Cincinnati, and Players Guild in Canton.  Her Los Angeles credits include:
“Big Time Rush” (Nickelodeon), “Modos: The Prophecy” (Trinity Films), and
The Ricki Lake Show.
