SETTING THE STAGE, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 24, 1998. PAGE 73.
Edmonton's cold winters drove Spidell to the theatre
Stratford, bought a house and had a
baby.
"I found myself in Stratford with
a mortgage, a cat, a dog and a kid
on the way," she laughed.
Jane met her partner, Jeff, in
Stratford. Raised in Stratford, Jeff
now owns a restaurant in town.
Their baby girl is 17 months old.
"In my work I feel things a little
bit more profoundly because of the
baby," said Jane. "I know what life
and death is now."
While Jane loves to be at home
with her baby she starts to miss the
theatre if she is away for too long.
"Working in theatre is my
vocation. I start to work and realize
people enjoy me."
Blyth audiences will enjoy
seeing Jane play Mildred Douglas
in Yesteryear by Joanna
McClelland Glass and an
At the age of 19, Jane Spidell
couldn't bear the thought of
another long, cold winter in
Edmonton, so she sold her car and
took off for New York City.
She spent two years in
Manhattan from '84 to '86,
attending theatre school and living
a life that was "fast and dirty."
Since then she has travelled
across the country acting in
regional theatres. She spent three
seasons at the Stratford Festival
from '94 to '96, received a Dora
nomination and is now up for two
Sterling awards in Edmonton
(equivalent to the Dora awards in
Toronto).
Despite her theatrical success,
Jane has more than her career. A
few years ago Jane moved to
Goderich's Bundy family has
been a part of the Blyth Festival for
years. This year Rob Bundy is
involved in several aspects of the
festival.
A former Festival board member,
Rob is best know for his
fundraising dinner theatre events,
Come Back to the Gym, Mary Lou,
Mary Lou, Gail and Brad's
Marvelous Wedding Adventure and
Waiting for G. Doe.
In 1991, he was honoured to have
Alice Munro play herself in his
murder-mystery, The Last Chapter.
Rob's brother Kevin, is a
professional actor who has acted in
several festival productions over
the years including, Bordertown
Cafe and Two Brothers.
Rob took over Joanne Walters'
job after she took a short leave of
absence in January. He'll be in
charge of publicity and marketing
for the season. Rob also has a small
part on stage in Jobs! Jobs! Jobs!
Before taking the position at the
theatre, Rob worked for many years
as an, editor and reporter in
Goderich.
Tired of the daily stress of being
a reporter and worrying about his
mortgage, Rob and his wife,
Rhonda, decided to sell their house
and set off to see the world. They
stopped in Fiji to visit a friend and
ended up staying for two years. He
wrote political speeches for the
Fijian government. He later worked
in Alberta as a freelance writer and
assortment of characters in
Thirteen Hands by Carol Shields.
Assuming the character of
Mildred Douglas has been
difficult.
"She's very much a real person,"
said Jane. "Mildred is a
compassionate character with a
free-spirited passion."
"Letting her character seep in
and manifest itself emotionally,
intellectually and spiritually is
slow going,"
Born in St. John, N.B., Jane
grew up in Fredericton. Her family
moved to Edmonton when Jane's
father was tranferred with the
RCMP.
In high school Jane started out
behind the scenes in theatre as a
sound operator. After graduating
from theatre school Jane started
working with Teatro la Quindicina,
a theatre group in Edmonton. She
worked in regional theatres out
west and in the prairies before
heading to Toronto.
In Toronto, she worked at the
Tarragon Theatre, Theatre Passe
Muraille, Canadian Stage, Crow's
Theatre and others.
In 1994, Jane auditioned for the
Stratford Festival and was asked to
be a part of the company.
"Stratford wasn't a dream of
mine," she said. "There are many
great places to work and Stratford
is just one of them."
Jane enjoyed working at
Stratford and remembers wearing a
hand-made costume worth close to
$10,000 in one of the productions.
Although Jane has worked in
television, she prefers theatre.
Above all she likes change and
variety in whatever she does.
"I don't like to do the same thing
too often."
