8A COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL JULY 12, 2017 Q&A with Opal's "Talking With" director Eliza Roaring Springs is directing the latest show at Cottage Grove's Opal Theatre. A Eugene resident, she says Opal jumped at the chance to add "Talking With," a play full of monologues from 10 women of different backgrounds, with different expe- riences as a way to court a broader audience. Here, she answers questions about the show, its production and why it's worthy of a ticket. Performances continue Friday (7:30 p.m.), Saturday (7:30 p.m.) and Sunday (2 p.m.). For more information or to purchase a ticket, please contact the Opal Theatre at 541-623- 0513. Q: Walk us through this play and its plot. A: It's 10 monologues of women in different experiences of life. Whether one is in a religious atmosphere and a snake hander or an older wom- an in her fi nal stage of life. There's a range of what women go through and the age range is 25 to 75 years old. Q: What are the origins of this play? A: It's a script by Jane Martin. She created these women but you can tell through the knowl- edge in some of their stories that she did a lot of research and in- terviews. And each monologue is eight to nine minutes long. Q: How did you get involved in directing this play? A: I had gone to a few shows at the Opal Center. I went to "God of Carnage." I know some people at Opal because I have been directing at Cottage Theatre and I know Opal was trying to expand their audience and draw in more people. I sub- mitted this play because it's perfect for that stage and they leapt at the chance to do it. It's nice to introduce this space to Eugene. At our last perfor- mance there were a few Eugene directors eying the space. Q: What's your favorite monologue in the show? A: I can't answer that. That's like choosing be- tween my children. I love them all. I'd love to have done them all because I'm an actress at heart but I'm too old and so I could only do a few of the older parts. Everyone has a different favorite and we had 24 women audition. That's unheard of in this area but it's a rare gift to get such a juicy role. And doing the work is as important. The process being positive is just as important as the show to me and so getting to work with these performers one-on-one with just me and that person has been wonderful. Q: Why should Grovers come see "Talking With"? A: I think they'll be moved and entertained. I think it's mind-broadening and makes people think and feel connected. That's why we go to the theater.
