According to the 1957 Annual the play "Susan Steps Out" was presented on March 21 and March 22, 1957, a Thursday and Friday. The newspaper article from The Ottawa Herald and photo are contributed by Patsy Cupp Kiefer.
The interesting thing about this photograph is that it shows the cast in their costumes. The three photos found in the annual do not show the cast in their costumes. The Ottawa Herald photo was probably taken during a dress rehearsal.
Thanks to Patsy Cupp Kiefer, who played Madge Weaver in the play, for saving and then finding in 2001, this and the following newspaper articles.
