Saoirse Murtair, the starring actress, has had roles in local Eureka Springs productions as Cruella de Vil in 101 Dalmatians, the Genie in Aladdin, and Ado Annie in Oklahoma. She has also had roles with the Eureka Springs Theatre Company as Cobweb in Shakespeare's A Mid Summer Night's Dream, as a pirate, a priest, a working girl, Marina understudy, and Philoten in Shakespeare's Pericles, Prince of Tyre, a teenage vampire in the Haunted Trail Walk, along with roles in Melonlight Theatre's annual Zombie Flash and New Year's Flash, both at Basin Spring Park. In addition, Saoirse has completed over 25 showings of "The Yandere" at Mainstage Theatre in Eureka Springs.
Saoirse very uniquely grew up and lived on a tall ship in the Pacific for nine years. She sailed over 7,500 nautical miles before the age of 10. During the play, the production team will share some of her stories of adventure on the high seas.
The production of the Yandere is Saoirse's acting resume and is intended to travel from city to city beginning in 2027.
Saoirse's father, Ace Murtair, built "The Yandere" theatrical set, along with writing, directing, and producing the play. He also performs all mechanical, lighting, sound, and costume changing functions during the performance.
