What is your role in this production? I play Janey in Water Beneath Her Feet. Some of the play takes place in her memories, so it’s been kind of a fun challenge to maneuver the switches between past and present. Janey is a very stubborn character, but a sweet one too, she’s been fun to get to know.
What is your background in theatre? At Walterdale? I have a diploma in Musical Theatre from MacEwan University, and this is my fourth Walterdale show. My other Walterdale productions were Ravenscroft, Lady Windermere’s Fan, and Shatter from earlier this season.
What brought you out for this show? I love doing New Works, I think it’s fun to be a part of something completely new and exciting.
What has been the biggest challenge about working on the show? think the biggest challenge, again, has been the switches between time frames, especially as Janey never leaves the stage in between the switches, she just steps into and out of memories whenever!
What do you think audiences will take away from the show? Why should they come and see it? Water Beneath Her Feet is an interesting show – the audience never knows more than Janey does at any given moment, so you kind of have to piece together the puzzle as you watch. It’s a little bit of a mystery!
From Cradle to Stage runs May 14-19 on the Walterdale Stage.
