Janet Gigliotti is happy to be returning to Theatre Under the Stars.
It鈥檚 a 鈥渨onderful experience鈥� to perform in Stanley Park in the summertime, she says.
鈥淚t鈥檚 a tradition for people to go there and it鈥檚 really lovely to be a part of that,鈥� say Gigliotti, who grew up in Ladner.
She adds with a laugh that actors get to compete with raccoons, fireworks and beautiful sunsets.
A former school teacher, Gigliotti plays Dorothy Brock in 42nd Street, a 鈥淕olden Age Broadway sensation jam-packed with glitz and glam.鈥� That play, along with Cinderella, run on alternating nights from July 4 to Aug. 18 at the Malkin Bowl in Vancouver鈥檚 Stanley Park.
Gigliotti says her character could be described as a bit of a diva who鈥檚 coming back to theatre at the height of the Great Depression with something to prove.
鈥淚t鈥檚 her moment to come back as a star again, make her mark again, and prove herself,鈥� she says.
The play is an adaptation of a cult classic 1933 film.
Gigliotti says the whole artistic team and ensemble of performers is 鈥渏ust a really stellar group.鈥�
Her previous credits at Theatre Under the Stars include South Pacific and Bye Bye Birdie.
