"Dalloway, as 18-year-old Jacob Mercer, completely captivated" "(Heather) Bailey, as the lovely but iron-willed 17-year-old Mary Snow, was riveting" "Bailey inventively fleshed out this young woman's fear of further loss with brilliant flashes of searching naiveté, playful wit and a sense of underlying hunger for love. Her performance was beautifully edgy and fully realized with a quixotic sense of timing." .June 12, 2006 Rehearsals have started for Theatre Brantford's upcoming production of Salt Water Moon, a heart warming tale of lost love set in Coley's Point, Newfoundland on a warm summer night in August.
