It was a war of neighbours at the St. Brieux Drama Club Dinner Theatre annual production that ran from March 30 to April 1. When Leona Crump, played by Angella Blandin, the germophobe, children hating, neighbourhood busybody gets new neighbours, she can only speculate on the horrors she will have to face. But new neighbour Gafina Hambefferschmidt, played by Loriann Wuchner, and her family are beyond anything Leona could have dreamed of. That is where the fun begins. Director Bernard Ferre says the community support for the performances have been outstanding with this being the first year for a three night performance run. “It takes a big commitment from a lot of different people. The firefighters (who were manning the bar), everybody who’s come through to help us out, it’s a big community kind of deal.� The group started practicing around Christmas time and has been meeting twice a week since, preparing
for the performance. Despite the fake numbers that Ferre threw out before the performance, the group practice amounted to 84 hours before the actual performance. Having an actual audience to laugh at the jokes after all that time is the best part of putting on the performance, says Ferre. “You do this thing for this many hours, over and over and over, we think after a while, it’s just not coming together very well.� Hearing the audience laugh is gold, says Ferre, and all the actors agree that that is what all the hard work is for. With work and family schedules, Ferre says the group only had about three practices together. “The bigger the group the harder it is because everyone has a life. Commitments, a lot of young families in here.� Ferre joked at the end of the performance that the cast can finally see their families again after so long away. Continued on page 16
