Women of Burbank: Andrea Daveline and Lisa Dyson, “The Civility of Albert Cashier”

myBurbank Talks

myBurbank reporter Ashley Erikson sits down with Lisa Dyson and Andrea Daveline to talk about their roles in the new Colony Theatre musical, “The Civility of Albert Cashier.” The powerful and moving new musical tells the true-story of a Civil War soldier whose life defied definition and who served his country all while keeping the secret that he was born Jennifer Hodgers.

Lisa who is currently the Huerta Middle School Librarian, shares her journey bringing theatre into Burbank schools over the years and exposing kids to Shakespeare and arts education. Andrea recently moved to Burbank and shares how her and her family have adapted to the city, and have been so impressed by the school’s show choir and arts choices. The two discuss their roles in the new musical, and how their characters go head-to-head on stage doing what they believe to be best for Albert in his older years. The three women talk about the importance of the story in today’s climate and how the creative team has put together something that appeals to the modern times but feels completely enveloped in the era of the Civil War and post years.
