By Adrian 'Matte `F -A Fdltor STRATFORD - Grand Bend native Kerin Me- hagan has made it to the big time, even if in a sma l l way. She has parts in two Stratford Festi- val productions this year, giving -her singing and acting career a big boost that is certain to help her down the road. Mehagan attended Sheridan Col- lege in Oakville after graduating from South Huron .District High School. She still fondly recalls her, roles in A Chorus Line and Valedic- torian while in high school. Local theatregoers may also remember' her at the Huron Country Play- house in both the 1998 and '91 sea- sons while she was still a student. "1 thought that was big time too .nand Tony [Lloyd) was* very gener- -a us," said Mehagan in an interview on one of her rare days off from the Festival Theatre. Artistic director Tony Lloyd, who died last year, gave Mehagan some challenges and experiences she might not have enjoyed elsewhere. While she had minor parts in Gypsy and Anne of Green Gables, she was an understudy in Annie Get Your Gun, and ended up on stage for a few performances, and altesnatedin the role of Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz. Last year, Mehagan toured from coast to coast with a)thew spon- sored by the Ministry 'of Defense called Welcome to the Armed Forc- es. -Although it was received rather suspiciously by the media and crit- ics, Mehagan said it stressed the peacekeeping aspects of the mill: tary. "Weimever mentioned war, we neateranentioned fighting," said Mohegan, adding the whole experi- aaee for her was "good. I -hadn't 4tsan across Canada either." 'The winter months were spent - .1 avelling with a rock band called cal p*rts at SuMfd, the news fi- nally carne that she would be not only in the musical Gypsy, but also in Bacchae - a play.

Waivdaiism and thefts investigated. in Hensall EXETER - The Exeter OPP are investigating several incidences of vandalism and car theft in ,and around Hensall in the past week. The OPP say' the "Events" sign for the Hensall Arena was vandal- ized, as well as a pop machine lo- cated at the a Tana. Another pop machine rat-Alsb's Garage in Heaaalrwas broken into and money was stolen, report .po- lice, and add that crime is likely connected with thefts from several other vending machines in Exeter and surrounding communities the same night. A white Jeep was stolen from Hensall on Saturday by Mike's Stop FI Go and was found just east of the village in Tucker - smith Township. Police say the Jeep's windows were smashed. The OPP also believe the same culprits then stole a blue Chevrolet pickup with a white topper from a King St. -residence in Hensall. The truck was abandoned in Stanley.Town- !ship, missing some tools stolen from it. The OPP are reminding everyone to secure their vehicles at night and to report any suspicious noises or persons they might encounter. The OPP are also investigating some damage done to the lawn at Stephen Central School by spinning cars.

To be on Stratford's stages this early in her careeris something she describes as an unexpected pleas- ure. Being Feted as a `Hollywood 'Blonde in Gypsy was a surprise, even though she was inthe produc- • tion at the Huron County Play- house; but being chosen for Bac- chae was astounding, she says. The play by Euripedes is about 2,500 years old, and 'represents only the second time Stratford has ventured into Greek theatre in 40 years. All characters wear masks, and Mehagan says she had to draw heavily on the mask work she did at high school under drama teacher Glenda Burrell. "Technically, it's very challeng- ing," said Mehagan, citing a lack of peripheral vision, keeping balance on the raked stage, and the lack of reliance on facial expression, mak- ing for a production that is "physi- cally, emotionally, and mentally ex- hausting." Long rehearsals since March were been invested in the show be- fore it opened on Thursday, and she hopes it •sv111 *be 'well-received by ,audiences. Her role in Gypsy is not as de- manding, since she is on stage less time; but there are a few times this summer when she is faced with a matinee and evening performance of each production. The real reward is being on stage alongside Stratford veterans such as Golm Feore, Nicholas Pennel, Lucy Peacock, or Janet Wright, all of whom are in Bacchae. "Omigod, I'm on stage with her," is how Mehagan describes being a little "starstruck" when fast starting to work with actors she admired for years. Still Mehagan hasri't.teo many il- lusions about becoming a Stratford regular. When her nine-month con- tract ends in November, she speaks of heading back to Toronto to take some acting classes in "straight act- ing". She also wants to spend more time writing and recording her own music. Before then, however, she will be making the most of the few week- ends off her Stratford schedule al- lows. You can expect to bump into her in Grind Bents, where she tries to spend as much time as she can, visting with family and friends.
