Although she has worked in film and television, Cavendish prefers the stage. To her, "it's as real as it gets." But the lifestyle has its downsides. There are many nights when she would prefer to have a simple dinner with her husband and then watch a bit of TV. For someone as busy as Cavendish, these opportunities are rare. Staying at her little bungalow in Qualicum Beach is another activity she enjoys during those precious breaks between plays. She'd also love to travel more, in Canada as well as internationally. In the meantime, Cavendish will continue with her busy and fulfilling career. She's never wished that she had taken a different path although she does admit that there are other things she would like to do as well. "But there's still time," she says. C avendish is delighted to be working in town this season. She will be appearing at the Stanley Theatre in David King's new play Up Island from January 25th through February 25th, a wonderful chance to see our N o r t h Shore star in action.
