Faustus Revisited
Jamie Smith, (seated center), helped adapt and starred in Upward Bound’s 2002 production of FAUSTUS UPDATED. He is pictured here with the Bad Angel, portrayed by Robbie Baston (left), the Devil, portrayed by Michael Ancrum (center), and the Good Angel, portrayed by Allison Bailey, (right).
John Tablas narrated FAUSTUS UPDATED, and typed up the script.
As Faustus’ girlfriend, Adrienne Wise tried to encourage him to study. Faustus was not easily persuaded.
One of Faustus’ earliest temptations was GLUTTONY, represented here by Thomas Wilson (center). Melvin Bell (left) and Solon Staley (right) look enviously at the plate of food set out to tempt Faustus.
Faustus had a difficult time resisting LUST, played by Brandy Scott.
Further temptation came at a party, where Brandy Scott, Brandi Smith, Jeremiah Glover, Antonitte Findley and Cassie Poe took turns luring Faustus to the dark side.
