Terrace Little Theatre

We are all suddenly aware
that Terrace is 50 years old.
This realization has caused
the Little Theatre Society to
count up its years as well
and we discover that it has
been in action for 27 years
without a break and also,
that it is the second oldest
drama society in B.C.

Despite its history many
people are still asking what
the Little Theatre is.
Basically, it is a group of
people joined to bring live
drama to its community, but
also to bring the community
into the plays. An amateur
group such as this, gives its
members an opportunity to
‘take part in the many
aspects of theatre work. The
local theatre is aptly

described by Lorna Morton

(soon ‘Milie’ of the Hot 1
Baltimore) as a “‘learning
situation”, :

Going back through the

pears the Terrace society
5 won an unusually great.

number of awards when in
B.C. Drama Festival
competition with such large
drawing areas as Van-
couver, It seems that more
than our share of talented

-people have been attracted

to the area, and judging
from the Hot | Baltimore
cast and production crew,
we are gathering even
more.

A good example of this is
Betty Ann Burch who is
acting for the first time,
playing the character
Jackie, ‘a rather ‘tough’
independent girl, ac-

herself and her brother,.

Jamie.

The longest role in Hot 1
Baltimore, ‘The Girl', is
being played by Donna
Stubbins. The reason she is
known as ‘The Girl’ is that
she is not satisfied with her
name and keeps changing
it; so no one really knows
what to call her. Donna has

previously acted with the |

Caledonia drama class and
played the lead in ‘‘A Slight
Accident” where she was
involved in'the “rather
tiresome’? permanent
disposal of her husband.

The Little Theatre brings

entertainment to Terrace

which might otherwise not
be enjoyed here — musicals,
family pantomime, reviews
ete. Though it is for a
restricted audience (adult
only) the Hot 1 Baltimore
will give those interested an
opportunity to see a play
which has been worthy of
the New York Drama
Critics Award for the Best
American Play of its year.

Presentation of the Het |

Under the spell of her own
imagination, Easter Braden
drifts into a shimmering
fantasy when her older
brother, Harry, idly tells her
that her surgeon father is
having an aftair with one of
his patients, Nancy Thomas.
Harry, 13, goes away on a
camping holiday and Easter
gets to know Nancy
Thomas, who lives with her
old mother in a cottage
nearby, and is regularly
invited for tea. In her fan-.
tasy, Easter believes that
every word is fraught with
romantic significance, and
is only sorry that the lovers
will not trust her enough to
speak out.

When Harry returns,
Easter confides in him
about the romance, He’s
completely forgotten what
he’s told her and cruelly
decides to go with Easter to
Nancy's cottage where he
tells the whole torrid
fabrication to the
Thomases. The fantasy is
shattered and Easter runs
off in humiliation to hide her
tears.

Rosalind McCabe plays
Easter, Simon Griffiths,
Harry and her parents,
Diana Fairfax and Bernard
Horsfall, Rosemary Martin
portrays the suspected
Mistress.

Ingrid Bergman provides
a frame of reference for
each of the Childhood plays.
Produced by Granada
Television, the series is
presented by WNET-13,
New York. Its presentation
on KCTS-9 is made possible
by a special grant from
Pacific Northwest Bell.
