Louise Montague was born in Portales NM. She grew up and married in the same city where she was born. She has three sons and two daughters, five grandsons and two granddaughters. When her children were young, Louise directed them in acting out Bible stories. During that time Louise developed strengths for directing that she has put to good use for Roswell Community Little Theatre (RCLT).
When a date took Louise to see Man of La Mancha, she thought, “Well, I could do that.” She also thought she might “do that” a little better than most. It turns out she was right. Louise auditioned and got a role in one of RCLT’s productions. Louise has been with RCLT as an actress for 25 years and she has been directing plays since 2002.
The first play Louise directed was an Evening of Culture. The play went off well, so well she turned her attentions to directing. When she directed George’s Suitcase, everyone knew their lines three weeks before opening night. That play, like most of Louise’s endeavors, was a great success.
As an experienced director and actress, Louise is favored for roles that require skill. Louise delights in the challenge of getting into her part, complete with appropriate accents and props, often supplying her own costumes.
Cast and crew find Louise a pleasure to work with. She is early to learn her lines and dedicated to getting in character. She always has a word of encouragement for fellow actors. Loise feels at home in RCLT. She clearly enjoys the theatre. It is a passion she has held close to her heart from the time she was a little girl.
Louise has a starring role in the upcoming production for Four Old Broads. She plays Imogene Fletcher, the newest resident at Magnolia Place Assisted Living. Four Old Broads opens Feb. 25 at 7:30 in the theatre. For more information go to: https://roswelltheatre.com/events/four-old-broads/
I am a mother, author, engineer, farmer, occasional actress, and incurable dog-sap. I think things and write things and embarrass myself often.
