VoicePrint is "Cookin' with Gus"

In the early 1940's, the Ladies' Auxiliary of the Canadian National Institute for the Blind sponsored the formation of a theatrical group for blind and vision impaired actors. The name it was given was the Glenvale Players.

Other plays presented by Glenvale in recent years: in 1996, "Let's Murder Marsha" by Monk Ferris, directed by Jean Halliwell; in 1997, "Belles", by Mark Dunn, directed by Andrea Emmerton; and in 1998, "Love and Anger", by Canadian playwright George F. Walker, directed by Rod Carley, who earlier that year taught the club an acting workshop.

In the spring of 1999, the Glenvale Players held a two-day acting workshop, taught by David C. Phillips and Rob Mather. In the year 2000, the club produced "Waiting for the Parade", by Canadian playwright John Murrell, directed by Andrea Emmerton.

In the spring of 2001, the Glenvale Players presented an "Edwardian Evening", in a cabaret setting, consisting of music and song and a presentation of George Bernard Shaw's one-act comedy, "Overruled", directed by David C. Phillips, about two married men in love with each others' wives.

In the spring of 2002, the Glenvale Players will present a comedy, "Cookin' With Gus" by Jim Brochu, directed by Kate Leclerc, about a famous female chef who has a chance to host a cooking show on T.V., if she can only get over her fear of being taped!

Meet the cast and hear excerpts from the play this Saturday, April 27th on Ability Today, when VoicePrint's Kelly Ashton interviews the Glenvale Players.
