Lorne Cardinal (left) and Margo Kane discuss live theatre, being an Aboriginal actor, and making your way in acting.

Actors Lorne Cardinal and Margo Kane, who are also Canadian and Aboriginal, paid a visit on Jan. 30, 2012 to Ginny Ratsoy‘s Canadian Studies 3120: Aboriginal Dramas in Canada.

Cardinal and Margo Kane are in town performing the Western Canada Theatre production of Michel Tremblay’s play ‘For the Pleasure of Seeing Her Again’. The class read the screenplay as part of their coursework and went to see the production on Feb. 1. The play’s final performance is Feb. 4.

Also taking in the class was a group of Aboriginal high school students in the TRU Start program. They were on campus as part of the orientation process before classes begin on Feb. 6.

Lorne Cardinal answers questions at the end of class.
