What I mean to say is that I held to the belief that familiarity with/love of the classic movie, the quality of the script and the opportunity it presents to an actor would be enough to attract some of Red Deer’s finest. And that’s exactly what happened. I am thrilled to be working with this group of guys… and Vicki (our Court Clerk and the rose among the thorns!). And maybe even more exciting is that our cast is made up of many faces that Red Deer has either never seen, or hasn’t seen in a long while. And, an added treat has been the chance to involve Monica Bast as our judge. Here’s how the line-up looks:
