Who are you? Stephanie Swensrude
What is your role in the show? I play the role of Mandy, so I have been attending rehearsals since January to learn my lines, practice blocking, and explore the emotional life of the character. I am also the Co-Director of Publicity, so I promote the show.
Have you been involved with Walterdale Theatre before? I’ve been involved with Walterdale for about eleven years. The first few shows, I was an Assistant Stage Manager, and I’ve acted in a few shows, operated lights, and I also joined the Board of Directors about a year and a half ago as Co-Director of Publicity.
What do you think is the best season for a wedding? Early summer, so you avoid super high prices, and so you can enjoy summer as newlyweds!
Got a funny story about something going wrong at a wedding? When I was attending a family member’s wedding at about three years old, my parents lost me for a while, and after searching frantically, they found me sleeping on a pile of bubble wrap in a closet.
Why should audiences come to see Stag and Doe? I think the show is really funny, but has a lot of heart. It is also a very Canadian play!
