“I first auditioned for The Lost Colony when I was six or seven, and I had to go alone because Mama could not go with me”, said Della Basnight as she talked about her return to the stage of the Waterside Theatre in this season’s production of Paul Green’s The Lost Colony.
She entered the old Courthouse, where the auditions were held, with great confidence and was determined to be a part of the show. When asked by the director if she could behave backstage, she replied, “I’ll be real good.” Her response generated a big laugh from the crowd. That was it…her first laugh…her first vote of confidence. She liked it and wanted to make people laugh; she knew the stage was for her.
