or TL ul EB pac AEE LAU a hy 5 38 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, October 16, 1985 Ron Halligan Ron is now a grade nine student at PP. HS. He enjoys music although he has no formal training, and plays soccer, hockey, and basketball. His theatre interest began in public school where he played the Sherrif in "Cowboy on the Moon," and the lead role of Matt in Once Upon A Frog." In the Borelian's November pro- duction of "The Little Prince," he plays the role of the lamphghter, who 1s responsible for the daily ritual of lighting and extinguishing the light for a small planet. He gets along with the prince, but has some difficulty with some advice that he .gets from the prince. Acting for Ron is an acceptable way to act 'crazy,' and to explore alternate personalities. He enjoys the chance to be different. and to become involved in the town. Adele Armstrong Adele comes to the Borelians from Uxbridge, where she has had a rather unusual but interesting in- troduction to the theatre. When her children were involved in high Who's who in the Borelians school productions, she began by helping with the costumes. Very quickly, she discovered that it was cheaper for her to make many of the dresses needed This has grown in- to her own costume making and ren- tal business, and she supplies many of the Toronto high school productions Her stage debut was two years ago when she played Lady Lucy Angatell in Agatha Christie's 'The Hollow." Other plays inciude "Towards Zero," and "'Your Flake or Mine." Adele describes 'The Little Prince' (being presented by the Borelians in November) as an adult play about interpersonal relation- ships, although it is generally n- tended for children. She plays the role of the "'tippler" who appears angry at the prince but who is real- ly angry at herself. She also plays the Queen without any subjects who would like to keep the prince as hers. Her third part of the ** con- ceited person' will perhaps be played as a punk rocker. Adele has become hooked on the stage, and enjoys the challenge of portraying different personalities.
