Cast – The Liars
Albert Buttus
Albert Buttus has successfully
captured his first sea turtle after a 17 year escapade. What he will now do with this giant sea creature, he
has yet to decide. Albert has a wife collection, seven cars, 4 machetes,
3 Maytag fridges, and one starving child. Albert enjoys wearing tight pants
with no underwear, ostrich leather shirts, and sunglasses that are transparent.
He is currently attending no schools, has no jobs, but is successful at
life. Albert hopes to marry again in July and August and is inviting you
to attend the weddings. Bring presents, money, and food. |

Claire
Claire has
just returned from taking a year off to find herself, the majority of
it spent backpacking across New Jersey, a perilous journey, especially
because she did not speak the language. Back in Ottawa, she is proud
to present the production of a script she wrote with her “business
partner” Genevieve Trottier, Truth
Be Told. It is currently playing at the NAC, but she has already
received calls from Hollywood and she is currently negotiating with Disney
about a theme park idea. She is glad to be acting again after a brief
absence due to rabies, which she contracted while playing the role of
Annie in the popular children’s musical. |

Paul
After a failed career in modelling, Paul turned
to his old friend Marie-Claude and begged for help in reviving
his nose-diving career. After being offered a part on a
daytime cable access television program, Matt’s career
was slowing on the rise. The series went big in Japan,
and after receiving international praise, Matt was ready
to make it big back home. Stunned by the success of the
series, Marie-Claude offered Matt a part in The Liar’s
Club. Cursed by his ego, Matt failed to show up for
rehearsals. Since his name was already listed in the program,
he was replaced by his twin brother and the rest is history!

Cindy
Cindy has been acting since
she was very small. During her nine months in the womb,
she committed to memory the complete works of William Shakespeare,
including all the sonnets and his unfinished autobiography
entitled, “O, Quill Ink, Quill Ink, Wherefore Art
Thou Quill Ink?” She first met director Marie-Claude
Valiquet while singing in a Catholic School Board Choir,
during the second chorus of “O, Holy Night”.
Since then, the two have worked together several times
opposite each other as Timon and Pumba in The Lion
King, and as Lucy and Snoopy in You’re a
Good Man Charlie Brown.

Andrew Burn – Musical Composer
Andrew was first introduced
to music performance and theory in Junior High School. He excelled in
his music classes and in band and eventually decided to audition for
Canterbury High School's Arts Program. Once accepted into the Music
program, Andrew was asked to switch instruments from flute to Bassoon.
During his years at Canterbury Andrew developed a love for music composition.
With the support of his parents he took private music theory and composition
classes (on top of his required private Bassoon lessons) with Dr. Maya
Badian. As he continues his education in music, Andrew has concentrated
on developing his composition skills as best he can – winning two scholarships
in the process. As the summer of 2008 arrives Andrew looks forward to
