Roswell Community Little Theatre Spotlight on Adele Bozeman

Native New Mexican Adele Bozeman is a true friend of Roswell Community Little Theatre. From serving on the board and numerous committees to fundraising, filling in in the sound room, improv and acting, Adele does it all, and she does it with humility and grace. She has been acting and involved in theater since she was young. One of her fondest performances was The Mouse that Roared. She says with a smile that being on stage is fun – maybe even kind of a clean “high.”

As a young mother, Adele became interested in Christian drama, thanks to Vonnie Goss. At first, she performed dramatic readings at her church. Later, she turned to more involved, fuller scripts. She taught all of her children to act and has enjoyed working with them ever since. Her daughter, Alethea Hartwell, was the first in the family to enjoy the RCLT. At Betty Lou Cheney’s direction, Adele followed her daughter to the Little Theatre.

Adele tells of a rich history in theater. Once, while performing a skit at church, her daughter Lynetta wanted her mother. Adele picked up Lynetta and kept on acting without missing a beat. Another time, she was on stage in a role that required she work barefooted. Of course, in the desert southwest, most public places have goat heads. As she stepped, Adele’s foot found one of the painful little spikes. She said her line and carried on, finally making her exit and removing the thorn.

Adele’s next performance will be in She Loves Me. She is sure to charm. It is a fun musical with a family rating.

She Loves Me opens August 12th at 7:30, in the Roswell Community Little Theatre, with six performances: August the 12th, 13th, and 14th, and again August 19th, 20th and 21st. The Friday and Saturday shows begin at 7:30 p.m. and the Sunday performance is at 2:30 p.m. We’ll see you at the theater.
