Golden Apple actor Jeff Irving profiled in The Toronto Star
Posted on July 06, 2010
Jeff Irving, the Regina native who will be part of the cast of The Golden Apple Theatre’s first production, Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris, was recently profiled in the Toronto Star.
The story, by theatre critic Richard Ouzounian, begins:
From Rolf to Robin Hood to Romeo.
That’s the crazy career trajectory that Jeff Irving has been on for the past two years, which has dazzled and delighted him in equal measure.
“Hey, I believe things happen for a reason. Yeah, call it fate. There’s a path and I’m taking it, even if I don’t know how I got on it or where it’s going.”
Not many 29-year-olds have accumulated the varied recent resumé that Irving brings to the table.
A shattering performance as a delayed victim of the Montreal Massacre in The December Man, a charming song-and-dance turn as the “17-going-on-18” telegraph boy in The Sound of Music, the wacky star of Ross Petty’s last Christmas panto, Robin Hood and now, the most tragic lover in literature for http://www.canadianstage.com/dreamCanadian Stage’s 2010 Dream in High ParkEND, Romeo and Juliet.

Golden Apple Theatre’s inaugural season profiled in Leader-Post
Posted on July 05, 2010
The Golden Apple Theatre’s inaugural season was profiled in today’s Regina Leader-Post. It begins:
This fall, there will be a new professional theatre company in Regina. Andorlie Hillstrom and Robert Ursan — who long have been driving forces behind amateur and instructional theatre in the city — are teaming up once again, this time as co-artistic directors of The Golden Apple Theatre.
“We wanted to start a company that would be to some extent an extension of things that we’ve done up to this point, but we wanted to be able to take it into the professional realm,” said Ursan.
