"A Lie of the Mind" has been cast

Director Marianne Brorup Weston has chosen the cast for the Terrace Little Theatre's entry to the Skeena Zone Theatre Festival, a regional competition leading to the province's MAINSTAGE festival this summer in Nanaimo.

This year's choice is a hard-hitting drama, starring many of the Clubs' finest actors. "A Lie of the Mind" by Sam Shepard is TLT's third time featuring the Pulitzer-prize winning American playwright. Previous productions were directed by Daniel Barnswell - "Curse of the Starving Class" and "Buried Child".

Brorup Weston says she cut her teeth on Shepard and owes her success in theatre to the early mentorship she received from Barnswell, who cast her as a 14 year boy in 1989. She was also fortunate to be work-shopped by Janet Wright who played in the Canadian premiere of "A Lie of the Mind". Janet Wright pulls no punches. It was gloves off, get to work right now. "I learned more in those two days than the whole of my little theatre life up to that point" says Brorup Weston.

A Lie of the Mind includes Janine Hamming as Beth and Garnett Doell as Jake - locked in an abusive relationship. Their respective families battle it out on stage - Alan Weston and Sharon Lynch as Beth's parents Baylor and Meg and Patrick McIntyre as Beth's brother Mike. Jake's brother Frankie is played by Ryan Sergerie and his mother Lorraine and hard-nosed sister Sally by Ada Sarsiat and Sandy Watson.

While this is admittedly a serious topic, the play has fine moments of laughter. "It's a tragi-comedy if done well" says its director.

Rehearsals start early in the New Year.

In the meantime, TLT fans are in for a special treat with the return of Norm Foster's comedy "Looking" at the Golf Course in late January.
