Interview by Mary Hemmings and Freda Otchere of Walter Aubie, a freelance radio journalist, theatre commentator and a teacher at the Montreal Children's Theatre School. Aubie recalls his early association with the school in 1960 as a guest actor for the school's productions and later as a teacher. Aubie compares the school's "traditional" curriculum of diction, movement and stagecraft with the "improvisational" methods of other theatrical schools and the successful partnership of Dorothy Davis and Violet Walters, co-founders and directors of the school since 1933. Additional discussion centres on the child actors at the school, their parents, the productions performed by the children, the English and French theatre scene in Montreal, and finally, the future of the Montreal Children's Theatre School.
