"We weave back into where she is at certain points in her stay at the annex:' Farb says of the drama written by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett with adapta- tion by Wendy Kesselman. "The play is a bit vignette-oriented. We go from a scene that is extremely dramatic [awakening from a horrifying nightmare about Nazis] to a scene that is whimsical [giving out Chanukah presents]:' Stratford casting, decided year-to-year, gave Farb the opportunity to stage a one- woman play she has written — R-E-B-E- C-C-A — at the Theatre Passe Muraille in Toronto. "The play is about my sister, who is developmentally delayed:' Farb explains. "It looks at the notion of what it is to turn 18 even though still a kind of child. It also looks at a hypothetical version of my sister had she been functioning [typically]:' Farb, in a relationship with a musician/ musical director, looks forward to seeing Stratford exhibits that will enhance the Anne Frank production (see "While You're There" on this page). Rothenberg, also playing a dream role, is working with director/choreographer Donna Feore to bring personalized dimen- sions to the Rodgers and Hammerstein hit. "I want to honor Julie Andrews' legacy by looking at Maria from a fresh and new perspective as if I'd never seen The Sound of Music, explains Rothenberg, 25, whose career started in childhood — on the com- munity stages and in the recording studios of Nashville. "It's how I've approached other roles that have been iconic in the same way. I did a production of Roman Holiday and played the role that Audrey Hepburn played:' For Stratford, Rothenberg wants Maria to come across as being grounded in nature, the Earth and the mountains, and very spiritual but not in a conventional way. A bit to the dismay of her dad, cancer researcher Mace Rothenberg, early recog- nition came through the Christian music of the South as Rothenberg made chil- dren's recordings long before celebrating her bat mitzvah. After moving through projects for Nickelodeon and Disney as well as stage work, Rothenberg enrolled in theater stud- ies at New York University. "I was in my junior year when I audi- tioned for a Broadway revival of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying and was cast in the ensemble," she recalls. "I left the university and was asked to understudy the leading lady:' As it turned out, she got to play the star- ring role, first with Daniel Radcliffe and then regularly with Nick Jonas. "I also worked on a lot of new musicals at great theaters," Rothenberg says. "I cre- ated characters based on new text and new music and found those characters with the writers, composers and directors before anybody else [had the parts]. That's been exciting, and I'd love to continue to do that:' Settling into Stratford, Rothenberg has been visited by her boyfriend, who works for a New York tech company. "The Stratford theater makes me feel so connected to the audience says Rothenberg, whose television work has included a role on the recent Tina Fey Netflix series, The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. "I'm never more than 6 feet from an audience member. At this point in my life, I especially relate to a line I sing from a place of gratitude: 'My heart will be blessed with the sound of music, and I'll sing once more:" ❑ Brass Pointe 0%-ia c5".4 24234 Orchard Lake Rd., N.E. corner of 10 Mile • 476 - 1377 Open 7 Days a week for lunch & dinner GATEWAY DELI & CATERING 21754 W. 11 Mile Rd.
