After high school, Anna took,
first-year acting at Malaspina™

College with tony‘ ‘Bancroft.
Drama, however, ended up tak-
ing a backseat while Anna
worked to put herself through
college.

This year she and. her hus-
band returned to live-in Terrace

and Anna decided to audition:

for the Terrace Little Theatre.
“T really missed acting. It’s an
expression of yourself. And a
great way to meet some. neat
people. So 1 screwed up my
courage and auditioned” for
Gordon. Me :

- While more than half a ‘dozen
women tried out. for. Hooters,
there was no contest once Anita’
walked onto the stage. She was
Cheryl. .

So who is Cheryl? Anna
hesitates. “I like her, 1 enjoy
her sense of fun, but I feel for
her, too, She is not able to boost
her own ego. She always needs
someone else to validate .that
she is okay, that she is special,
beautiful. She gets hooked into
being what people want her to
be. She lias no goals of her own.
She’s quite lost, really. Qoops,
that’s the social worker in. me
talking,’’ Anna grins.
“Ultimately, Cheryl loses: the
power to make choices because
of the way she is.”

About the play itself Anna
has equally. strong feelings. It’s

sations are just_ hilarious. But .

Kevin has a long history ‘of TLT

John McGowan will be
remembered for his powerful
portrayal of Stanley in Brighton
Beach Memoirs and now lends
his talents to the part of Ricky.
John.-says that Ricky is quite
jealous of Clint’s background
and education, “He is very

. good -at lying about himself,

Not to speak of the fact that any
girl who is half-decent is a *'10"
