Rebecca Gibian: 
My Name is Rebecca Gibian. I play Janine Babineau, and Janine is a waitress in a small town called Stewiacke.
Tyrell Crews: 
My name is Tyrell Crews. I play Sean Merrit. My character is a doctor, who shows up in a small town taking the place of the resident physician. 
Rebecca Gibian: 
I think the first scene is so much fun because there is a set up that feels like we know where it’s heading and then the way about the way that the playwright goes about it, is unexpected and that’s so much fun to play inside of that.
Tyrell Crews: 
I’ve never done a Norm Foster play. So this is my first, and it’s been really lovely to dive into. I identify with these people, these characters that I am seeing on stage or in the script. That’s the mass appeal of it. He writes these real humans that, that’s my next door neighbour, that’s my crazy aunt Susan.
Rebecca Gibian: 
I think there’s something that I’m discovering in our early days of rehearsal, that there’s at least in this play there’s a deep love of this small town that is palpable and contagious. There is real love of a small Canadian town.
Tyrell Crews: 
We’re going to be performing in Drayton, and at the theatre in Drayton and what that, what the theatre and it’s history means to a lot of those families and folks who are from that area, that is reason enough to come and check it out. There is something special about this story being told at that stage in Drayton. 
Was that really good?
Rebecca Gibian: 
Yeah, that was really good!	ON SCREEN:
