INTERLOCUS Cast

Courtney Murphy solidified her love of the arts at a young age. Whether taking dance classes, performing on stage, making movies in the backyard with friends, or turning her mom’s old wardrobe into haute couture she has enjoyed every creative endeavor she’s explored. She attended Northwestern State University and graduated with a Bachelor’s of Science with a Concentration in Performance and Directing. A local theatre regular, some of her past acting credits include Almost, Maine (Woman #2), The Importance of Being Earnest (Gwendolen Fairfax), A Streetcar Named Desire (Blanche DuBois), and In the Next Room (Sabrina Daldry). She has directed productions for Theatre Baton Rouge, Red Magnolia Theatre Company (RMTC), & Northwestern State University. Most recently she had the immense pleasure of directing The Revolutionists for RMTC. Lastly, she would like to give a special thank you to her mother and friends for their continuous and loving support!

Ren Price is thrilled and grateful to be working on this show with this cast! His previous credits are Judas/John the Baptist (Godspell), God (An Act of God), Mr. Green (Clue), Mr. Black (The Wild Party), and Mitch Mahoney (The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee).

Mike is thrilled to be making his debut with RMTC. At Swine Palace Mike appeared in The Seagull (Shamrayev) and in All the King’s Men (Ellis Burden). At Theatre Baton Rouge Mike initiated the role of Scrooge in A Christmas Carol and played the role for five years. Other TBR productions include 33 Variations (Beethoven), The Last Days of Judas Iscariot (Judge Littlefield/Caiaphas the Elder), The Pirates of Penzance (Pirate King), and The Producers (Franz Liebkind). Elsewhere Mike has appeared in The Weir (Jack), Shadowlands (C.S. “Jack” Lewis), and Evita (Peron).

Emily is an instructor in the Communication Studies department at LSU. She has worked and learned in the HopKins Black Box Theatre in a variety of capacities since 2010. She is inspired by the team working on Interlocus. None of her passwords currently feature the word Interlocus. Not Yet.

Kaitlyn Stockwell is a native of Baton Rouge where she graduated from LSU with a BA in Theatre Performance. As an actor, she has performed locally with RMTC and Theatre Baton Rouge, among others. She also played Antigone at the Young Theatre Festival in Seoul, South Korea. In 2012, she devised and regionally toured the original work “Children in the Dark” with the Neutral Ground Ensemble, and then remounted and directed it at LSU in 2017. Kaitlyn is also a theatre educator. She teaches Talented Theatre at McKinley Middle Academic Magnet-School of Visual and Performing Arts and coaches privately. In October, she will be teaching an adult scene study class at Theatre Baton Rouge. She’s very excited to work with RMTC as the director of Interlocus.

This is Neely's first show with RMTC, but she has been involved as a performer, crew member, house manager, assistant stage manager, and stage manager for Theatre Baton Rouge and Playmakers for many years. Neely is an employee and graduate student at LSU and will be completing her Masters in Public Administration in December! She is also very involved with the choir and various committees at her church, Jefferson Baptist. Enjoy the show!
