THE LA KELAND PLAYERS Lakeland Players â€" Postâ€"play Review If you didn't get to see this latest offering by the Lakeland Players you missed out on a good evening's entertainment. June Greisamer has once again brought our local amateur actors up to an excellent level of competenceo The set, designed by Kathryn Lean, complete with stuffed animals and fussy kniokknacks added to the general atmosphere of an old English cottage setting. The lighting, handled by Ron Murphy, created the era of_oil lamps and shadows which was needâ€" ed to act as a background to the psychological drama of the play. June Boston as Mrs. Bramson, wheeled around in her wheel chair with confidence and her characterization of the selfish hypochondriac was perfect. Pat Puchniak as Mrs. Terrence, the fearless housekeeper, carried her role beautifully and would certainly bring back memories of those domineering, down to earth characters who have been used by many authors to provide humour in their works. Nelson Colford as the Inspector was very believable and gave the audience a feeling of respect for the law. Nancy Hutchings as Dora played the fearful and simple maid to the limit with great skill. Her energy level and ability to create tension with her shrieks and screams added to the overall atmosphere of the play. Marjorie Fielding as the nurse, looked very natâ€" ural on stage, and considering this was her acting debut, completed her role with great aplomb. Ross Patterson as Hubert, carried the part of the English gentleman very well and Surprised many in the audience with his new accent. Lorraine Porter literally became the artistic Olivia and drew the audience along with her imagâ€" ination and feelings of frus~ tration and loneliness. Bill German played the schizophrenic Dan with excellent changes in personality and produced both fear, horror and sympathy in the audience. Sound effects of church bells and the various music pieces were carefully chosen and added to the programme by Kevin Guthrie. Marjorie Fielding, in her prime role as costume manager made the characters more believable with the 1930‘s dress. Marjorie was also the proâ€" ducer of the show and iS'tO be congratulated on the final bringing together of this pro- duotion. The cast and stage crew gave an unanimous round of applause to Jim Hales who had his initiation into the Players as stage manager. As Jim's first theatre involveâ€" ment, he very capably handled his position and made sure everything ran smoothly backâ€" stage. Audience response to this production was most encourag~ ing and over 200 people came out and supported this small but promising amateur theatre group. page J; NDEAU CRAFTS EA The Rideau Crafts monthly meeting on May 12 centered upon Summer school news Rideau Crafts has received a grant through the summer youth employment project to assist the summer school with operating costs.
