St. Pete’s Dead Canary Theatre is set to present its newest comedy, Regrets Only, from November 5 through November 15. The show, described by host Pete Catalyst as a “parlor comedy,” unfolds in a single room where a group of Upper West Side socialites navigate love, fashion, and family drama with a distinctly Noel Coward flair.
Cast and characters
The production brings together a roster of familiar faces from the local theater scene. Andrea Moseley, known for her dramatic work, steps into the role of Tibby, a wealthy socialite whose conservative family adds a layer of tension to the story. Travis Moore portrays Jack, providing a subtle competitive edge that fuels the play’s humor. Sabrina Hamilton appears as Spencer, the spoiled daughter on the brink of marriage, delivering sharp lines that highlight the absurdity of high‑society expectations.
Other notable cast members include a cameo by a character reminiscent of a conservative constitutional attorney, underscoring the play’s satirical take on elite circles. The chemistry between the actors, especially between Moseley and her co‑star, has been praised by the director as a key ingredient to the show’s success.
Production details
“Comedy is all about precision and timing,” the director explained, noting that the troupe has worked hard to fine‑tune each scene. The show’s format—one room, multiple characters, rapid‑fire dialogue—creates an intimate atmosphere where audience members feel like they’re eavesdropping on a private gathering.
Dead Canary Theatre has built a reputation for delivering productions that blend classic wit with contemporary relevance. The company’s previous season, Dead Killing, earned praise for its inventive storytelling, and the team hopes Regrets Only will continue that momentum.
Community support and future plans
Following a successful fundraiser last month, the theatre reports strong community backing and a growing audience base. “Most theater companies don’t survive past their first season,” the director noted, “but we’ve made it to a second and are thriving thanks to local support.”
Looking ahead, the company is exploring collaborations with regional partners, including the popular podcast network Radio St. Pete, which recently earned a finalist spot for Best Podcast. The director hinted at potential co‑productions that could bring more Broadway‑style energy to St. Pete’s cultural landscape.
Ticket information
Performances run Thursday through Sunday at 5 p.m. Tickets are available online and at the box office. The theatre encourages families and theater enthusiasts to attend, emphasizing that the show offers a light‑hearted escape while showcasing the talent of local artists.
