Upon seeing her with another man, he is thrown into a jealous rage and driven to murder, though all is not what it may at first seem, and slowly Ernest’s guilt sends him on a spiraling descent into madness. This play will be performed in its full length form, and will also be presented as our entry into the One-Act Festival at the 2021 Trumbauer Festival! https://www.jcatd.org/season/event-one-njjd9 monthly 0.5 2021-11-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c978e50dd4c02ac7d4117e/1628552937515-9LHZ8IKBFRIXB7C6MQWZ/Gold_onbackground_square.jpg Season - All Together Now - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.jcatd.org/home daily 0.75 2021-06-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d375649e2ffc000016e0aec/1572716064535-TQDLAWAE3QNNULKXJRR4/20140228_Trade%252B151_0067%252B%25281%2529.jpg Home - Changing the world is possible.
