20 - Chats With Cool Folk #2: Julia Mackey and Dirk Van Stralen
Wednesday Sep 16, 2020
Wednesday Sep 16, 2020
My daughter Maggie works with some pretty Cool Folk. While on our holiday in Wells, she, my husband Matt, and I had a fantastic hang-out with Jules and Dirk, who run the Sunset Theatre in Wells, and--usually--tour a wonderful play called Jake's Gift, which is dedicated to veterans. We talk about bugs, about Jake's Gift, and about how Covid is affecting our livelihoods, namely live theatre. Jules also invents a new cocktail!

Let's go back up to the Cariboo one last time! Fellow UVic Theatre grad Danette Boucher plays Miss Florence Wilson and James Douglas is a filmmaker and Public Programming & Media Development Lead, both at Barkerville Historic Town and Park. Over dinner Matt and I learn some super interesting BC history, how Danette got into Historical Interpretation, and about James' experience directing The Doctor's Case by Stephen King. Badge stitching will come up yet again, and we discuss the question, "What does James really want for Christmas?"
