Theatre Company stages Cassandra, a one-woman show penned by Bayfield playwright Briana Brown, directed by Serious FUN! founder, Blyth’s Shannon Scott, acted by Goderich girl Ally Connelly and features the behind the scenes talents of Blyth teens Sadie Chalmers and Kathryn Peach. The troupe has spent months preparing the comedic production for London’s largest drama and arts festival. Grounded on the night before her 10th birthday, Cassandra Smith embarks upon a journey to complete a “list of things necessary to achieve a successful, and therefore happy, life” before the dreaded “double digits” arrive. Satirical and poignant,Cassandra is a one- woman performance about a young girl struggling to gain the respect she deserves in a world filled with adults who simple “don't hear”. “The script is witty and hilarious,” Scott said of the production. “The storyline is charming and coy, but what makes our production of Cassandra so unique is that the actor this time is herself a child. It’s that reason I think we are the exciting, innovative, stellar performance the festival is looking for because, man, can this kid act.” Cassandra first hit the scene in 2006, when Brown took the production on a successful cross- Canada tour of Fringe Festivals. Cassandra has won critical acclaim along the Fringe circuit throughout Ottawa, London, Victoria and Vancouver. The play has also been featured at the Bad Dog Short Festival in Toronto and staged before Dora-winning production of Pyassa at the Theatre Passe Muraille in 2008. Cassandra is set for six performances at the Spriet Family Theatre, at the Covent Garden Market mezzanine from June 19 to 27. Tickets are $8 and can be purchased, cash only, at the door.
