Valerie Boyle 
My name's Valerie Boyle. I'm playing Doris. My character is crass. She's an ex prison guard.
Elva Mai Hoover 
My name's Elva Mai Hoover, and I'm playing Ivy. My character is the opposite of Doris.
Valerie Boyle 
Class.
Elva Mai Hoover 
I'm class, according to Doris, and I am an Austrian skier. 
Valerie Boyle 
World Championship. 
Elva Mai Hoover 
A world champion skier, with a past.
The play is kind of a character-driven situation comedy. It's about three people living in a home... 
Valerie Boyle 
A retirement home.
Elva Mai Hoover 
A retirement home, Paradise Village. We meet and become friends.
I like the character that I'm playing because she has been through a lot, but she persists, and she is thoughtful and caring and innately kind. 
Valerie Boyle 
My character is... she's forthright, she's honest, she's rough around the edges, but she's soft inside. 
Elva Mai Hoover 
Everyone can find themselves in a Norm Foster piece. Or if not themselves, someone they know, someone close to them. 
I'd be happy to come and see a play that I felt, you know, reflected me and my experience. But just to see yourself reflected I think is really important.
Valerie Boyle 
That's good!
