She plays Elsa Barlow, the young teacher who befriends the older woman, Miss Helen (portrayed by Mary Vollmer, of Oshawa). The location of the play is Karoo, SouthAfrica. ; Ms Gilhooly says the play will "present a challenge to the audience to see both sides" presented to them by Miss Helen and the pastor, Marius By- leveld, played by Port Perry resident Ed Daigle. j The play .delves into social issues like apartheid. "But the word is never said," Ms Gilhooly noted. It also raises raises the issue of women's rights and personal freedoms. Working with Ms Vollmer, an experienced experienced actor, is something that Ms Gilhooly has enjoyed. "She is a very experienced actor. She has worked with the Oshawa Lit tle Theatre and the Durham Shoestring Shoestring Performers. She is easy to work with." This comes in handy, since the three actors are in charge of the entire play.

However, However, over the last while I've not been reading books at night, but I've been taking my script with me." By working on her script so much, she has discovered that many lines can be said in different ways, These nuances "can change the context of the lines," she added. Although the actors have been rehearsing rehearsing since the end of November, things will be changing even during the last week of rehearsals. "When we begin to rehearse in the theatre, things will change because we've been practising in the basement room where the space is limited," Ms Gilhooly said. Once the actors are in the theatre, "à line that,took us from one part of the practise area to the other will only get us haltway across the stage," she noted. Timing, lighting, and the sound system will have to be worked at. This means the five daÿs before the first performance, are bound to be busy as the glitches "that always occur during the last few days" are worked out.
