We chatted with Matthew Olver about our upcoming production of Pinkerton Comes to Prospect. We asked why he wanted to be involved in this production, what he loved about his character, and what type of person would enjoy this show.
Lighthouse Festival (LF): Why did you want to be involved in this production?
Matthew Olver (MO): I wanted to be a part of this production because it’s a comedy and a western, two of my favourite things. It’s a brand-new Canadian play written by the brilliant Jamie Williams and it’s at The Lighthouse Theatre… A match made in heaven!
(LF): What do you love about your character?
(MO)What I love about the character of Doc Hennessey is that he may be a scoundrel and a bit of a knave, but he has a good heart, and he loves the town of Prospect.
(LF): What type of person is going to love this show?
(MO): I think that all types of folks will love this show. It truly is a comedy for the whole family.
