SPOTLIGHT by Elizabeth Bundy-Cooper intermission crowds. She admitted it was worth the $2 she made each week. She also recalled when she served lunches at Knox Church and William Shatner would come in and get a lunch for $3. Shatner spent three years in the acting company beginning in 1954 and understudied for Christopher Plummer. Laura also said Glenn Gould stayed at her home, but at the time she did not know how brilliant a musician he was. Laura took over the bed and breakfast from her parents in 1988 and has never looked back. She raised her three children in the home and became immersed in life in the city. She started giving tours to theatre patrons in 1985 because she was asked and couldn’t say no. After doing that for a few years, the organization “Friends of the Festival” was born and is still a busy volunteer group today. She was president for four years. Laura was also was a coach with the Stratford Skating Club, and she led a divorce care group at her church. She is currently a member of the Probus Club and the Festival City Rotary Club, as well as the Stratford Sister Cities committee. One can see the iconic pointed roofline of the Festival Theatre from her dining room window. Oh, the conversations that were – and are still being – had at this table over art and music, plots and themes, among people from all over the globe. “It is a true privilege to live in my family home, to open it to guests and to be a part of the Stratford scene. What I really cherish about the business is that I learn so much about the world right on my doorstep.” Elizabeth Bundy-Cooper is a freelance writer and a fundraiser for the United Way <strong>Perth</strong> <strong>Huron</strong> in Stratford.
