actress (Marianne Brorup Weston) who played Ruth

as “able to understand this. She could seize the

moment and at times, was even able to levitate it."
Price liked the attention to detail in the set and

the costuming. He explained, "A comedy like this »

wouldn’t work without it," His only criticism of the
set was that "everything was too beige." He felt that
some touches of colour would have intensified the
conscious drabness of the set. He said the music

went on too long and the lighting changes in the first...

scene bothered him. Part ofthese problems were
caused by the lack of headsets to communicate from
backstage to the sound booth in’ the theatre.
Adjudicator Ted Price said that the Terrace Little
Theatre’s Living Together was "a production. that
could stand close scrutiny. Al! I can do is deepen it

for you." In consultation with the cast, Price decided —
that he could come back to do the winning play’s six-:

hour workshop closer to the time of presentation at

Mainstage. The Living Together cast felt Price
understood the script and they enjoyed his adjudica-

tion.

Living Together lives on again in May as a fund-
raiser to get cast and crew to Mainstage. In the
meantime the theatre stages 2-Night, commencing
April 30 with two one-act plays, Under Control,
directed by Annette Canute, and The Glass Bottle,
directed i by Marianne Brorup Weston. —

IT yu ST HAPPENED -

- Local artist Irene Horner ‘and Skeena Mall

manager Lynda Bretfeld have combined forces to

bring the visual arts to Terrace’s downtown.

The management of the Skeena Mall has offered
Horner an empty store space as a venue for an art
gallery and store to display and sell the works of

" local artists. The space will be available for free to
artists as long as it remains unrented.

Horner says she feels the offer was literally
dropped into her lap after speaking with local art

’ lovers and meeting Bretfeld at a recent showing of

Horner’s art at Northern Light Studio. She says the
timing must have been “perfect for all the people

_ concerned because all the pieces just fell into place;

it was “like a magic carpet ride", she said.
The as-yet-unnamed art gallery and store is

located in the mall where the Christmas Store was

this past winter. Horner says she is working there
strictly as a volunteer and has two friends who have
also volunteered to help. .
Works of local quilter Joyce Casorso are currently
on display, and Horner said many native crafts
people from the Nass Valley have also expressed an
interest in using the space. She also expressed an
interest in having pottery making, spinning and

wenving and other craft demonstrations on site.
