" Given the shortage of good nurses in this country, I'd hate to suggest that Linda Andresano pull the sheet over her job at St. Mary's Hospital. But Andresano could probably do almost as much good if she devoted herself full-time to acting.

Her self-produced one-woman show at the Temple of Music and Art Cabaret Theatre, Dressing the Part, is a showcase of her versatility that ought to keep casting directors romancing her for months to come. Andresano plays at least 17 characters in the course of an hour--or, more accurately, she plays one woman exploring 16 characters she's seen on stage, or finds within herself. Primarily, she's Missy, a costume mistress sorting through the togs and accessories of the theater where she's worked for years, a house that now is closing forever.

Mousey Missy is a seemingly unremarkable person with little evident ambition. But now, as she must discard most of the theater's magical costumes and consider what to do with her life, it becomes apparent that she's absorbed much from the actors and costumes she's mingled with. Missy tries on a shawl, or a pair of shoes, or a feather boa, and transforms herself into the characters she's observed so closely.

Dressing the Part synthesizes elements of two plays in which Andresano has appeared in the past year and a half at Live Theatre Workshop, her home base. Missy is a very, very distant relative of the quite different title character in The Dresser, and Andresano obviously honed her multi-character quick-change skills in The Dining Room. Furthermore, many of the personas she dons as easily as hats seem ghosts from Andresano's past productions.

For instance, her richest, most sensitive and most beautifully delivered character, an Irishwoman named Moira Kathleen O'Hagen, could well have been a figure on the periphery of J.M. Synge's Playboy of the Western World, in which Andresano appeared four years ago.

This isn't to suggest that Andresano as a playwright is derivative. She's merely taking theatrical archetypes and making them her own.
