Love Unrequited in Three Galleries: Afternoon (Asian Gallery)

Jay Mower, Director

Many of Jay’s shows are multiple Aubrey Award winning productions including, “I Do!, I Do!” and “The Diary of Anne Frank” at Patio Playhouse, “To Kill A Mockingbird” at Scripps Ranch Theatre, and “Angel Street,” “Lips Together, Teeth Apart,” and  “A Streetcar Named Desire” at PowPAC.  Jay is thrilled to have the opportunity to work on this fun play with such a great cast.

Diana Dillon as Alice

As a stage actor she has performed in such standards as “Death of a Salesman”, “The Odd Couple”, “Cowboy Mouth” and a few Shakespeare yarns. Her passion is performing in original ‘slice of life’ plays. This makes “Love, Unrequited” a perfect venue. She is especially thrilled to work with her husband Peter Frankland.
