Willa Hislop
Willa had many roles in the society in the 1970s. The picture featured shows her dressed for the part of Miss Prettyman in “The Time of Your Life” (1976).
A review from the local paper said “Willa… who made a difficult role one of the most convincing of the evening.”
In the 1981 production of ‘Basinful of Briny” Willa recieved a super review:
“Willa Hislop’s maid was superb, and whenever she was on stage she served to lift the script out of its rut – particularly with her own version of ‘Lover Come Back to Me’.” PKS (1981)
The archives also show that Willa also carried out several backstage roles on shows.
