Leah Gindes (Director/Producer) is thrilled to integrate her dual passions for psychological exploration and theatrical expression in interpreting the work of Mr. Tennessee Williams. Leah is a psychoanalytic psychotherapist in private practice and trained at William Alanson White institute in New York City. She has produced and directed downtown theatre in New York City and last spring staged readings from The Glass Menagerie with the NoName Repertory and OLLI at Ringling College.
Alex Gindes (Technical Director) describes himself as an avid biker and hiker and, in his spare time, builds furniture. He has a doctorate in clinical psychology and is in full-time private practice. In the spring term, Alex tech-directed the staged reading of
The Glass Menagerie and is very excited to once again be associated with the brilliant and talented members of NoName Repertory and OLLI at Ringling College.
Deloria Berks (Mme. Duvenet) started her artistic journey under the tutelage of William Esper at Rutgers University who awarded her the Levin Scholarship for Artistic Achievement. Deloria brought characters like "Josie" in A Moon for the Misbegotten
and "Inez" in No Exit to life on stage in New York City. Deloria has spent the last 15 years as a licensed psychotherapist. Last spring, she played Amanda Wingfield
in produced stage readings from The Glass Menagerie with NoName Repertory and OLLI at Ringling College.
William Ashburn (Eloi) is honored to be making his debut with the NoName Repertory and OLLI at Ringling College. William’s past performances include “Mister/Officer”
in Pass Over (Sarasota Players), “Joe” in The Shadowbox (SCF Theatre), and “Adam Webster” in The Psychic (Anna Maria Island Players.) He is finishing his bachelor’s degree in Theatre at the University of South Florida and is eager to continue to push the boundaries of storytelling in front of a live audience.
