Who are you? Rebecca Cave
What is your role in the show? What does that involve? Stage Manager, which means I’ve got an incredibly colourful version of the script, and it’s my job to make sure that everything that is supposed to be and happen on stage does so at the correct time and in the safest manner possible.
Have you been involved with Walterdale Theatre before? Yes, I’ve been involved in a variety of roles, but most commonly as a Lighting Designer.
What do you think is the best season for a wedding? I’ve always thought that for weather reasons fall is probably best. If you aim for September or early October, you dodge the snow, but it’s not too hot and you get some gorgeous sunlight.
Tell us a funny short story about something going wrong at a wedding. When I was a kid, my aunt had a winter wedding in what had to be the coldest church in town. It was a semi-historical building in the UK, so the only heating it had was these ancient radiators at the back that got turned on after we showed up. The bridesmaid dresses were sleeveless and very pretty, but not at all warm and my poor sister and I ended up taking shelter in my mom’s shawl. The bride of course had the foresight to give herself a faux-fur wrap. The whole affair was lovely and sweet and we were all blue by the end of it. Thankfully the reception hall had central heating.
Why should audiences come to see Stag and Doe? Stag and Doe is a hilarious show about weddings; how they go right, how they go wrong, and what’re the parts that really matter. With the wedding season bearing down upon us, it’s the perfect time for pandemonium and parties, and we’ve got both ready to share.
