A BENEFIT READING

Carrie Preston

CARRIE PRESTON is an Emmy Award Winning Actress best known for playing Arlene Fowler on HBO's TRUE BLOOD, as well as the scatterbrained, genius lawyer Elsbeth Tascioni on THE GOOD WIFE (for which she won the Emmy), subsequently reprising that role on the spin-off, THE GOOD FIGHT. She also recurred as Mr. Finch's love interest, Grace, on PERSON OF INTEREST. Carrie currently plays Polly, a Floridian manicurist who is involved with the Dixie mafia, on TNT’s hit series CLAWS.

Other screen work includes Netflix’s feature film TO THE BONE with Keanu Reeves and Lily Collins, HAPPYISH on Showtime, GRACE AND FRANKIE with Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda; HBO’s GETTING ON; DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES; THE FOLLOWING; PRIVATE PRACTICE; LOST; ROYAL PAINS; NUMBERS; ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT; two killers and two victims on four different episodes of LAW AND ORDER: CRIMINAL INTENT and SVU.

Also a director/producer with Daisy 3 Pictures, she directed the feature THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID, starring Anne Heche, Marcia DeBonis and Alia Shawkat which premiered at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival and is available on all platforms. Her latest directorial projects are  DARWIN: THE SERIES available online and the stand-up comedy film HAPPY LUCKY GOLDEN TOFU PANDA DRAGON GOOD TIME FUN FUN SHOW, starring Kate Rigg, based on her live stage show.

Michael Emerson

After many years of performing in the South, Michael made his New York debut in the role of “Oscar Wilde” in Moises Kaufman’s Gross Indecency.  He subsequently appeared on Broadway in The Iceman Cometh and Hedda Gabler. His turn as serial-killer “William Hinks” on The Practice (ABC) won Michael the first of his two Emmy Awards. The second was for his portrayal of fan-favorite “Benjamin Linus” on the long running series Lost (ABC) where Variety named him “one of the greatest villains in television history”. Most recently, Michael appeared as “Harold Finch” in the hit drama series Person of Interest (CBS). Michael is married to Macon native Carrie Preston and they live in New York with a little gray dog.

John G. Preston

Mr. Preston most recently appeared as Capulet in R&J, both Dukes in As You Like It and Henslowe in Shakespeare In Love at the Utah Shakespeare Festival. Other roles include, Charles Strickland in the Philadelphia Theatre Co. production of Race, Dr. Wilson in the Slant Theater Project’s production of Binge at the Drilling Company, Bart Henely in the Mint Theater’s production of So Help Me God, Cameron Parker in Taboos (U.S. Premiere) at Soho Playhouse, Lord Leonard Astor in Peter and the Starcatchers at La Jolla Playhouse, Bernard Kersal in The Constant Wife at Asolo Rep, Les Liaisons Dangereuses and The Unexpected Guest at Syracuse Stage, Pure Confidenceat The Cincinnati Playhouse, Othello at Georgia Shakespeare, As You Like It at the New York Shakespeare Festival, Taming of the Shrew and After Ashley at The Denver Center, The Real Thing at Syracuse Stage, Rough Crossing and Ladies of the Camellias at Yale Rep.

He spent most of his theatrical career as an Associate Artist and Resident Company Member of the Alabama Shakespeare Festival, where he performed such roles as Malvolio in Twelfth Night, Petruchio in the Taming of the Shrew, Caliban in The Tempest, Edmund in King Lear, Oberon in A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Philip the Bastard in King John, Touchstone in As You Like It, and Ajax in Troilus and Cressida.

Elisabeth Preston

Elisabeth Preston is thrilled to be joining her husband on stage for the first time ever! She can think of no better occasion than to honor and celebrate Theatre Macon’s Jim Crisp, as he was the very special officiant who married them four years ago.

Though Elisabeth hails from Kansas, she now calls New York home, and was most recently seen as a Witch and Lady Macduff with South Brooklyn Shakespeare’s production of Macbeth. Other recent NY credits: Macbeth of the Oppressed (Banquo) with FabMarquee Productions; Within the Law (Mary Turner) at Metropolitan Playhouse; Taming of the Shrew (Petruchio) Sir Patient Fancy (Wittmore), and As You Like It (Rosalind) with The Queen’s Company – an all-female classical troupe.

Elisabeth has worked regionally in theater, film, and commercial, having received her bachelor’s in Theater from The University of Kansas and MFA in Acting from The Florida State University Asolo Conservatory (yet another reason she is quite fond of Jim, a fellow alum). Proud member Actor’s Equity Association and SAG-AFTRA.

Elisabeth enjoys cooking exotic recipes, reading books on psychology, and balancing her artistic endeavors by playing the role of sales trainer at Broadridge Financial Solutions during the day.
