Laddy Sartin, a resident of Rock Hill, South Carolina, and a Mississippi native, holds a BFA in Theatre from the University of Southern Mississippi. An actor and stage technician as well as a writer, Sartin has worked in Theatre for over two decades. He was the 1991-92 recipient of the North Carolina Arts Council's Playwriting Fellowship, the state's most prestigious individual artist award, with an honorarium of eight thousand dollars. His play BLESSED ASSURANCE was selected for the Eudora Welty New Play Series at New Stage Theatre in Jackson, Mississippi, and was performed there in March 1995. BABY CAKES and LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT, one-act plays by Sartin, were produced in the mid-1980s in Tallahassee, Florida; ROSES FOR ROY LEE was the first of Sartin's full-length plays to be produced when it was included in the 1990-91 season of Charlotte's Innovative Theatre. In the fall of 1992 BLESSED ASSURANCE was produced by Catawba College in Salisbury, NC, and was their entry in the American College Theatre Festival. the play was also produced by the University of Southern Mississippi in September 1993 and by West Georgia College in February 1994. It was also produced at the Arts Station in Atlanta, March 1995. CATFISH MOON was originally presented by Charlotte Repertory Theatre in 1994 during their Charlotte Festival/New Plays in America Series, where it received the prestigious Virginia Duvall Mann Award. Amateur productions and workshops have taken place at Catawba College and the University of Southern Mississippi using student performers. Coincidentally, both productions were entered in the American College Theatre Festival and were selected for the regional finals, and one was selected for the national finals at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC. the CHARLOTTE OBSERVER described Sartin's unique voice as Southern, warm, full of the most bodacious joviality. He is able to have fun being from the South without making fun of Southerners. Mr. Sartin is a member of the Dramatists Guild.

Blessed Assurance

Synopsis:
It is the turbulent Freedom Summer of 1964. Olivia, the cook for the Whitehouse cafe, has shocked her small southern town by marching up the courthouse steps demanding to register to vote. Because of this she is attacked from all sides, even by those closest to her heart. Harlan, the owner of the cafe, who is like a son to Olivia, accuses her of listening to outside agitators and following along "like cows being led to slaughter." This damnation incites Olivia to challenge Harlan's personal beliefs, and his allegiance to her, by sitting at the counter of the cafe where she has worked most of her life and requesting to be served. When Harlan asks her what she thinks she's doing, she says "I think they call it a sit-in!" BLESSED ASSURANCE shows Olivia, and the people close to her, how her choice to stand up for her rights forces them all to confront the hatred, ignorance, and injustice of the town. We see the quiet heroes of this troubled time trying their best to cope with a world which is forcing them into pa

Catfish Moon

Synopsis:
the old fishing pier out on the end of Cypress Lake has just fallen under the magic of another Catfish Moon. It was the favorite hangout for three best friends when they were kids-skipping school, skinny dipping and even experiencing the mysteries of kissing girls. Now Curley, Gordon and Frog are older, and they have tasted the bitterness of life as well as the sweetness, and the pressures and problems that come with middle age have eroded the closeness between Frog and Gordon. the final straw comes when Frog discovers that Gordon is dating his ex-wife. Curley, the "big brother" of the bunch, in an attempt to recapture the friendship and settle all disputes, convinces Frog and Gordon to go on an overnight fishing trip like old times. On the pier, the weight of adulthood is lifted by laughter and their love of fishing, and the three guys discover that their friendship was never really lost. However, in the midst of catching the biggest fish of all time, life brings them back to a painful reality. the poignant resolution of the play brings Gordon and Frog to the realization that life is too precious and too short to let true friendship get away.
