Delores Geremia

Delores Ann Geremia came into the public spotlight during the autumn of 1989, in P.A.P.A./Provincetown Theatre Company's stage production of "Dracula". "Dracula" ran from late October through early November, and was performed at the Provincetown Inn. It was in that performance that she caught the attention of director Jonathan Morrill, who was in production with "Johnny in Monsterland". Morrill cast Delores as the "Spider Woman" in a nightmare sequence in that movie. Their friendship led her to be cast two years later, in Morrill's co-production with Gary Wortzel; "The Left Side of My Brain". Delores gave intense and studied characterizations to the character roles that she portrayed, but was oddly disinterested with the cinematic productions that she was involved with, after they were produced. She preferred to be credited only as "Dolores", a misspelling of her first name, which she detested, but never changed. When forced for a last name in her credit for "The Left Side of My Brain", she provided a variant of her real last name, "Geremia", wanting to be credited as "Dolores Germania". Only with theatrical stage productions was she ever concerned with reviews, and correct name spelling. Dolores took her final bow on August 30, 1992, in Cranston, Rhode Island.
