returned for an encore engagement in October 2005. In the spring of 2006, after the New York Theater Workshop halted
production amidst controversy, the play moved to London’s West End for nine weeks at the Playhouse Theatre and also
reached prominent summer theater festivals in Galway and Edinburgh. In addition to the Best Actress award, the play

Production Bio’s
Johni Keyworth - Director
This is Johni Keyworth's 62nd year in show biz and since his beginnings as a stand-up comedian and impressionist in
British "pubs," he has performed principal roles in 169 stage productions and appeared in over 65 television productions
and 17 feature films in his native Britain and Canada. Johni first appeared on the Ottawa Little Theatre stage 46 years ago
and since then has performed in 34 OLT productions including Camelot, The Lion in Winter, A Thousand Clowns, No Sex,
Please - We're British (twice), The Caretaker (DDF Best Actor) and most recently, Communicating Doors, Over My Dead
Body and And Then There Were None.
Monica Browness – Costumes – Since 2001, Monica has been involved with such gems as Laughter on the
23rd Floor, Opening Night, The Wild Guys, Da, Last Night of Ballyhoo, At this Evening’s Performance, An
Evening of One Act Plays, The Sunshine Boys, A Murder is Announced, London Suite and, most recently,
Honeymoon at Graveside Manor. She is happy to still see familiar faces around the theatre from plays gone by.
Gwen Davie – Sound - Born and raised in Halifax it was a big move to Ottawa after taking Audio Engineering
in College, but the experience has been wonderful. Gwen dove head first into the theatre and stage industry
about a year ago and hasn't looked back. She has been designing at OLT for the past two seasons, including
Act of the Imagination, Enchanted April, Honeymoon at Graveside Manor, and Inspecting Carol. She's been
busy, crazy, hectic, and loving it.
Robin Riddihough – Set Design: Robin began painting scenery for university stage productions in the early
1960s in London, England. Throughout his international career as a research marine geophysicist, he has
designed, built and painted sets for community and professional theatres wherever he was located. Since
moving to Ottawa from Victoria in 1985, he has designed over 50 sets for schools and local theatre groups and
received three Capital Critics Awards for his designs. His most recent activities include set designs for Observe
the Sons of Ulster Marching Towards the Somme (Tara Players at OLT) and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are
Dead (Algonquin College).
Cast Bio’s
Cindy Beaton - Diana - Cindy is happy to be back at OLT testing out her lungs and accent skills. Last year
she received a best actor nomination from the Capital Critics Circle for her performance as Doris in OLT’s
Same Time Next Year and in 2009 won the award playing Julie in OLT’s Perfect Wedding. Often seen on the
Orpheus stage, her last appearance there was as Vickie in The Full Monty.
Ann Scholberg - Jessy - Ann’s first acting role was an Anglo-Saxon boy in the Cambridgeshire
Townswomen’s Guild’s production of Queen Etheldreda’s Crown. She was six years old and became inspired
by the theatrical experience even though the play has now (probably deservedly) disappeared from human and
Google memory. Since then she has appeared in ten GCTC Lawyers’ Play performances and four OLT plays.
Despite being unpleasantly disposed of in half of her OLT plays, she takes no offence and would willingly come
back for more!
Andi Cooper - Ben - This is Andi's 11th year at OLT. During that time he's been a schoolmaster (A Little Hotel
On The Side), a bank inspector (No Sex Please, We're British), a police sergeant (Funny Money), a hotel
security guard (Communicating Doors), and a detective (An Act Of The Imagination). Unlike the dim son-in-law
he played in Over My Dead Body in which no one thought he was acting as anyone but himself, playing a man
of the cloth will be considered by all who know him as a sizeable acting stretch (with the hopeful exception of
his parents)!! First time working with Sarah, hopefully not the last!
