Q: Strange I know, but my theater is putting on a production of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers and for some reason Alice just really draws me. I haven't had a chance to see the script or see the movie of it yet, but descriptions of her say she is the youngest bride, a pastor's daughter, and very wide-eyed and affectionate with her husband, Gideon.

Somehow, I just really feel a pull to try and get her as my part, but to really get into her head I have to know what her life was like. However, I doubt a google or library search for "life for young innocent pastor's daughters in 1800's Oregon" would pop up much.. I was wondering if anyone could please point me in the right direction on what to look for?

I just did a brief search on youtube and several video skits came up. This might be a good place to start. You can also do an online search by typing in your web browser, "character study of alice in seven brides for seven brothers" because that also brings up quite a few results. Be specific in your online searches as the internet can be a wealth of information. Hope this helps! Good luck!

Thanks, I didn't know what to search for. :) Have a wonderful day.

Merry Meet!
I'm a mom of three grown children. I've been married, divorced and now recently remarried. I've had more than my fair share of life's hard knocks and have been knocked down more times than I can count, but still manage to get back up and go at life again. All this gives me tons of experience to draw upon when giving out my advice. I love people and honestly want to help. Please feel free to ask me questions directly if you like and I promise to answer each one of them.

Brightest Blessings to All!!
