JohnScott "Jack" Whittier is a sophomore at Curry College with a Communication major. This will be his second time in a Curry Theatre production; he debuted in Eurydice in Fall of 2018. This semester he will be in Curry Theatre's Black Box production of Red Scare on Sunset playing the role of Malcom. He is from Darien, CT, and his parents are Morgan and Tymi Whittier. JohnScott loves theater because it has a great sense of community and it can allow you to do something you've never done before.
Charles Busch's Red Scare on Sunset is a novel take on a serious subject: 1950s McCarthy era Hollywood. Film star Mary Dale finds the Red Menace invading her own Beverly Hills backyard, when she discovers that her husband has been lured into the local Communist party by way of a method acting class and that there is a left wing plot afoot to abolish the star system. Mary wages a private war to save her husband, her country and billing over the title.
