Natalie Gauthier – The Crucible by Arthur Miller – Rosebud School of the Arts in Rosebud, Alberta – Spring 2012

I was 21 and in my third year of acting school, and I got cast as a 71-year-old woman. Like my own Grandma, Rebecca was a deep, sturdy, stubborn soul who acted fiercely in love. I wish I had taken the time to get to know my Grandma before she left us to be in Heaven. Discovering Rebecca in me was like spending time with my Grandma, celebrating her spirit, and saying goodbye.
