Although she once served as director of a Bowmanville High School play, "The Secret Secret Affairs of Mildred Wild" represents her debut as a director director with the Bowmanville Drama Workshop. Her list of achievements as part of the Bowmanville Drama Workshop to date includes includes performing, publicity, choreography, and producting. producting. The role of. producer, she explained, is quite different from directing. A producer is in charge of everything happening happening in connection with the play except for the actual actual performance. This includes includes organizing costumes, managing props and making sure the cast is present for rehearsals. A director, on the other hand, works closely with the cast, chooses the costumes and decides on how the lighting for the performance will work. "It's the director's job to interpret the play," she said. "The Secret Affairs of Mildred Wild," is in the Catcher in the Rye tradition, she continues. It isn't about Teautiful people". She stressed the play is a comedy but said that it also contains an underlying "pathos". "pathos". It is the type of play, in her opinion, that the theatre company can feel proud of performing. "I'm very happy with the cast I'm working with,"she states, "They are very committed committed to the project." That commitment is necessary necessary since there appears to be a number of difficult moments in the production. One of the big problems, Mrs. Bundle explains, is the technical work such as sound effects. At one point in the play a character is watching television television and listening to the program program on TV. The audience hears the same voice the character hears. Mrs. Bundle Bundle said making that work properly is a little tricky. Another difficulty is the number of costume changes. "There are very many changes and the costumes are quite elaborate," she said. There has been a lot of work connected with the production but the wife and mother of two is very enthusiastic enthusiastic about her role in directing directing the play. "I consider this a great challenge. I'm not an expert but there is only one way to learn something and that is to dive in," Mrs. Bundle said. When she isn't busy working with her cast Mrs. Bundle can be found doing research for her masters degree degree in adult education. She is working on a paper that deals with the responsibilities responsibilities an adult daughter deals with when she suddenly suddenly becomes the caregiver to her parents. Presently she is in the last stages of her research and is enthusiastic about completing the paper but quickly states she is just as excited about the play. "I feel very responsible to the cast," she says,"They can only do so much with the play and I feel if 1 don't pull it all together I'll be letting them down." "They want to be proud of the final product too," she added. formed on April 13, 14 and "The Secret Affairs of 15. Tickets are now availa- Mildred Wild" will be per- ble.
