DANA: IN THE STUDIO WE HAVE LIBBY RIGGINS AND FRAN ECKERT, THEY ARE WITH THE MILLTOWN PLAYERS. THEY ARE HERE TO TALK ABOUT THEIR UPCOMING SHOW, "FIRST BAPTIST OF IVY GAP." I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS. >> IT IS A GREAT SHOW. THE FIRST HALF OF THE PLAY IS IN THE 1940’S, SO WE ARE IN THE WORLD WAR II ERA. AND WE ARE CHURCH -- A CHURCH GROUP ROLLING BANDAGES FOR THE SOLDIERS, TRYING TO HELP. AND THE SECOND ACT OF THE SHOW IS WE HAVE GRADUATED, WE HAVE ALL INCREASED IN AGE 25 YEARS AND WE ARE IN VIETNAM AT THAT POINT IN TIME. IT IS POIGNANT, BUT FUNNY AND THERE ARE MANY GOOD FRIENDSHIPS AND SOME CAMARADERIE. >> IT IS SIX WOMEN IN A CHURCH, PULLED TOGETHER BY THAT. PEOPLE KNOW THE EFFECT OF THE WAR ON THOSE AT HOME AND WE ARE AT DIFFERENT AGES AND STAGES IN OUR LIVES, BUT WE DEVELOP A CLOSENESS. THERE IS A LOT OF COMEDY GOING ON AND I HOPE IT WILL TRANSLATE TO THE AUDIENCE AS WELL, BUT LIKE REAL LIFE THERE ARE STORIES AND LAUGHS. DANA: WHAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT THE ACTRESSES IN THE PLAY? >> WE HAVE A GROUPING OF YOUNGER ONES AND A GROUP OF OLDER ONES, AND YOU SEE THEIR LIVES, HOW THEY ALL MESH TOGETHER AND HOW THEY ARE INTERTWINED. AND HOW THEY AFFECT THEIR COMMUNITY AND HOW THEY ARE AFFECTED BY THEIR COMMUNITY. >> IT IS MULTIDIMENSIONAL. YOU THINK, THIS IS A TYPE, I KNOW WHO THIS IS, BUT THEN YOU FIND OUT YOU DO NOT KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT THAT WOMAN AN HER RELATIONSHIPS WITH EVERYBODY ELSED. THERE ARE SURPRISES AND MAYBE SOME -- >> WE HAVE A TIME WHERE WE TALK, WE HAVE LAUGHTER AND TEARS. DANA: IT IS IMPORTANT TO HAVE SOME COMMITTEE GRILLI IN A SERIOUS -- SOME COMEDIC RELIEF IN SOME OF THE SERIOUS SUBJECTS. AND YOU DID SOME ACTIVITIES TO BOND FOR THIS? >> THEY ARE ROLLING THE DRESSINGS FOR THE ACTUAL SOLDIERS IN THE WAR IN THE FIRST PART, WE FOUND OUT THROUGH RESEARCH IT WAS A TIME THAT THEY LET LOCAL GROUPS DO THESE THINGS, EVEN THOUGH THE DRESSINGS PROBABLY WERE NOT USED. IT WAS SOMETHING THEY DID TO FEEL CONNECTED. TO FEEL LIKE THEY WERE HELPING WITH THE WAR EFFORT. DANA THAT IS INTERESTING.
