The couple, from western Canada, do not have the opportunity to act in the same plays, or same towns very often, so the chance to do Driftwas a welcome change. "It's working out great," said Peter. "When we're at home I ask Laurel if this works for her or not." Laurel is also enjoyingthe experience and finds herself hlping her husband a little more than she ould other actors. "If Peter happens to forget a line or a move, I tell him," she saida adding, "But I should probably treat him like I would anyone else. But treating her husband as if he were just another actor is not easy. Laurel's character in Drift requires her to yell at Peter's character, leaving her with iTlixed feelings. "It's hard to see P,;ter as the character of Tom. The husband .' ' wife don't get along and I feel bad yelling at him...It's hard to remove yourself from the character sometimes." However, Peter is not having this problem and says, "In Drift I can separate the characters from real life." Aside from this summer, the couple don't end their 'work day by going home to each other and discussing their day very often. They are frequently working in different towns, or if they are in the same town, their schedules are different. "What we tried to do before was go out to a show when we did have time together but we found that we stared at the movie and really didn't talk to each other," said Peter. "Now we go out to dinner - we can talk and see each other." As well as each having a busy schedule to contend with, Laurel and Peter have a one- year -old son, Mathew. "He's great. He's been on all forms of transportation and he doesn't make strange when we move around," said the proud father. Both Peter and Laurel attribute Mathew's ability to readily arrent 'ehan'P to the ComingEvefltS Peter Smith and Laurel Paetz are happily married, successfully raising a family as well as continuing with their acting, careers. Doesn't sound too difficult until you discover their jobs take them to e. But summer is iffe different as theyy have both landed jobs at the Blyth Festival.( ifferent areas for six weeks to three months at a Aconne NNa ej thio photo) positive attitudes of the people he comes in contact with, most of whom are in the acting business. While in Blyth, Sheron ,.Stadelman has been looking after Mathew and Laurel feels she is doing a super job. Peter is usually away from his family for approximately six weeks, but last fall he was gone for three months, an absence Laurel hopes is not repeated. "That was really difficult," she said. The couple, who will also perform in Lily, Alta.in Blyth this year, are not strangers to the Blyth Festival. In 1984, Laurel perform- ed in Spider In The, House and Calkwalk. Last year she was in Polderland and Peter was in Moose County and Primerose School District 109, a play which they will be acting in as husband and wife at the Prairie Theatre Exchange this fall. Laurel and Peter met while acting in Twelfth Nightand haven't looked back. Although the pace is hectic and the time that they are apart seems long, they plan to stay in the business. "We want to work and raise a family at the same time. If we can do it, we will," said Laurel. "We're very happy - we love the business and we have a great son,"added Peter.

He first heard of the acting opportun y when Mr. Black, principal of Blyth is School where Jason is in Grade 7, announc- ed that the Festival was looking for a boy for one of the plays. Along with several other hopefuls, Jason read lines from the script for Katherine Kaszas, Artistic Director of the Festival, and Keith Roulston, co-author of the play and editor of the Blyth and Brussels Citizen. Was he nervous on stage? "For the first few nights I was pretty scared, but now I'm not.
