OUR TOWN Q&A with Gillian Hurst (playing Rebecca Gibbs--smart kid sister)
1. You're sitting at Mr. Morgan's drugstore counter. What would you order for an old-time-y treat?
It is a dream of mine to go back in time and sit at one of those counters! Growing up, there was a pharmacy in my small New England town that still has a counter... but they don't serve anything anymore. My mom told me a story about the place every time we went in. Honestly, I want one of those strawberry phosphates everyone in Grover's Corners is talkin' about!2. What question would you like an audience member to ask Editor Webb about Grover's Corners?
I would like to know more about the newspaper. How many people subscribe? Do they cover global, national and local news? How do they stay financially afloat? Do the townspeople love the paper? Do they write sassy letters to the editor? Would love to know more!
3. Our tag line for the show is, "A Sweet and Tart Slice of Small Town Life." If we made a kind of pie in tribute to your character, what kind of pie would you be?
Rebecca is a sweet, smart girl with a wise, playful side. She has something old-fashioned about her, but with a youthful thirst for science and money matters. In tribute to Rebecca Gibbs, I would have to pick a strawberry-rhubarb pie. It is a classic pie that mixes sweetness and tartness, with a citrus punch. The ingredients might be growing in her mom's garden and she would serve it up to the people she really loves!
And here's a recipe for strawberry-rhubarb pie!
