Spotlight On... Andrea Cyr

Andrea could be called the busiest little Fate of them all. Andrea is not only tackling the intricate cheorgraphy of "A Dance With Fate" but also has a role in Steve Martin's "Patter For The Floating Lady," which is part of the "Evening of One Act Plays" line up.

Cyr has been involved with the SJTC: Second Stage since January when she was cast in the "Script Happens" production "Fertilicorp." When asked what has kept her coming back, she had this to say:

"A number of things. The people, The love of performing, the people, the fun and interesting shows SJTC takes on, the people, the experience, the people...oh, and did I mention THE PEOPLE!"

A radio news anchor by day, Andrea has been very busy these past four weeks preparing for the two roles. "It's time consuming and physically challenging...but that's half the fun!," says Cyr of the roles. One role pushes Andrea physically with intricate dance steps and movement while the other provides the mental challenge of learning dialogue. Both offer the opportunity to bring a character to life.

"I am thrilled to be involved in something new," says Cyr of the festival and the two extremely different shows. "I can't wait to see how it [Theatre on the Edge] grows over the years."

Audiences can see Andrea tonight and Thursday night at 7:00 pm at the Saint John High Mini-Theatre or Wednesday, Thursday and Friday at the Mary Oland Theatre at 8:00 pm. Tickets are $10 at the door or in advance at the NB Museum lobby. Festival passes are still available for all three TotE productions.
