TE ------ SB A Nl 24 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tues. January 22, 1985 ~ 2 New Jersey's loss is Borelians gain Roz Michaels by Vivian Lee I first encountered ROZ MICHAELS one February. evening in 1984 while watching the Borelian's production of Death Trap, and I remembered thinking what a solid, true per- formance she gave - the part of the nervous, up-tight Myra could easily have been over- acted, something one would expect from a novice on stage. Roz Michaels delivered her lines and walked through her blocking so convincingly, I was sure 'she was a veteran actress. When asked how she became involved with the Borelians, Roz said that "as a kid living in New Jersey, 1 would often watch the old movies, and | always got caught up in the character, and 1 would © ECONOMY COMPACT STANDARD & FULL SIZE laugh or cry with the character, and it would stay with me for a long time, and then I suppose ...people, when they entertain you, touch you so deeply, and I suppose I wanted to be able to do that myself. But no one then ever pushed me, and I needed a push." A few years later and 'several miles away find Roz Michaels producing a local radio show where she interviews people involved in community events. Naturally, one such event is community theatre. It was during such an interview that Roz got that push and was encouraged to audition for Death Trap. Roz very candidly admits "auditioning in Port Perry greatly appealed to me because I came into a situation. where people didn't ANEW PONTIAC OLOWRATES © LONG TERM LEASING ® TRUCK RENTALS PHILP PONTIAC BUICK LIMITED 10 VANE DWARD DRIVE PORTPIRAY 98% 8474 OPEN Weet@s109P WF dantobP Wm StwdantodP Vv MODUL AR SERVICING PHILIPS ALL TYPES - ALL MAKES STEREOS & HI-FI'S THIS COUPON WORTH $5.00 OFF - YOUR NEXT SERVICE CALL 723-5341 214BLOORST E Serving Port Perry & Area for the past 15 years PARKSIDE STEREO & FACTORY AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTRE FOR PHILIPS RCA ZENITH TOSHIBA HITACHI LLOYDS MICROWAVE OVEN SERVICE - talent know me, and therefore if 1 failed terribly, I would not have to see the people every day! ...S0 much for my self- confidence!" so much for my ability to spot. a novice ' . actress!! Roz found Death Trap a wonderful experience, although admits she was "quite a wreck by the end of it, which | was supposed to be, so that worked out very well." After Death Trap's success, Roz joined a agency in Oshawa, and has since done a bit part in a movie where she played "the worst Joan Collins you could ever imagine" and where she had the opportunity to compare stage and film, and there is no question as to her first love..."'in a movie, you can make a ton of mistakes and they simply say 'cut that' ... I found that took away from the flow ... on stage you really get into the part, the pressure is there, you can really become that character and you are that character the whole day and night and you wake up thinking about it ... it really overcomes you. Film is low-key ... you don't have to give the way you do on stage was still a little bit nervous, but it doesn't compare to the feeling you get when you go on stage, where you have a live audience, you get a real reaction from the people, and if you blow it, you've let them down ... whereas in film if you blow it, they just do another take and if they don't like you at the end, they'll cut you right out and leave you on the floor! It becomes very clear why film stars would go back to Broad- way and take nothing in money, but do it because they get back so much more - it's a very selfish thing, because you're getting so much more on stage. Unfortunately, the money is in film." When asked what she thought the theme of the current play was, Roz answered slowly and thoughtfully ... "In' my estimation, love and understanding. I don't think there will be anyone in the audience who won't be touched by it, who won't think of something in their own lives ... it's the kind of play that is going to leave people thinking. I see it as up-lifting ... 1 don't want to give the play away, but it's going to touch people; people are going to understand that things are going to work out." Did you read the play before auditioning? "Yes. I knew Joanne Woodward had played the part in the movie, an I read the play with her in mind. The part I play - Beatrice - is in all of us, and | really related to her loneliness because there was a time in my life when | was very -Edward. bel LL Si a lonely. | was very touch- ed by the play - it's poignant, it's sad, it's funny - it makes you think, and think about how you treat other people, and why, and it . makes you think about all the people who don't have anyone encourag- ing them. I don't think Tweens win This past week the Chris Allen Aluminum Tweens came up against Sunderland twice, beating them by scores of 11-7 and 13-1. In the first game, on Wednesday night, Port came out slow in the first period, but really poured it on in the second to ensure the win. Scoring for Port was Kelly Calloway with 3 goals, 1 assist; Michelle Beare 2 goals, 2 assists; Nicky Beare 1 goal, 2 assists; Jenny Blanch- ard 2 goals; Rachel Traynor 1 goal, 1 assist while Jackie Durham and Heather Lawrence each scored 1 goal.

Her daughter, Tillie, who is played by Charlene Daigle, on the other hand, is the guiding light in the whole play. I see her like a little angel - she's so much above her other and above her. sister (played by Tammy Chilco)." As I watch this incred- ibly beautiful waman who has energy to burn, happiness glowing all over her face, just a touch of devilment in her eyes, I am drawn back to the first time I saw her on stage as the up-tight, ever-frowning Myra, and it is hard to believe this is the same person, and I realize what a superb acting job she did in her very first acting role. But then, when you really listen, something else comes through warmth, empathy, and a sensitiv- ity for others that too few of us possess, and understand even better the insight of Producer- Director Lyn Sparling in casting Roz Michaels in this role, and I can't help but agree with her when she says "I didn't start (acting) until last February and I don't want to stop now that I've started!!" Don't miss the chance to see this outstanding actress when the Bore- lians present the award winning play, The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-In-The-Moon Marigolds on February 22, 23,28, March 1 and 2. Tickets will be on sale at Irwin Smith Music starting the end of January.
