In fact, she actually used many of her own clothes for costumes.” “Heidi is a friend of mine and didn’t want to audition for a role, but I made her, because she’s like a living Donna,” Parry laughed. “She is vocally perfect for the role, because like Donna, she’s an incredible actress, dancer and mother. So she had everything I wanted to pull out of the character.” Hunt also works will with Kevin Ireland, who plays Donna’s former lover, Sam. “They have known each other for a long time and have performed together as well,” Parry said. “They have a great chemistry together, and Kevin has his own swagger that is needed for the role.” Parry chose Kapetanov to play Tanya because she walks and talks the role.

Parry knew the three actors would make the roles believable. Between the mid-1870s and the late 1970s, miners hauled out millions of pounds of silver ore from mines located around Park City. Over a century, the mining shifted from individual prospectors to largescale excavating. Mark Danninger, mining engineer and project manager at the Rio Tinto Kennecott Copper Mine in Magna, will talk about that transition in a free presentation about the area’s mining methods at 5 p.m. on Thursday, March 21, at the Park City Education and Collections Center, 2079 Sidewinder Drive. Danninger, who will use photographs and commentary to tell the story, will divide the century into three parts -- the early days, the industrialization of the district and the later years. “The early days encompass a 10- to 15-year period where there were a lot of small-time prospecting by mom-and-po p ventures that were instrumental in identifying the ore bodies and their locations,” he said. “They would follow a vein of ore, load up their wheelbarrow or an ore cart and transfer the ore into burlap sacks and transport it to a smelter.” The industrialization of the district began in the 1890s when these small ventures ran into issues that they could not afford to resolve, like flooding, Danninger said. “They would begin a shaft and dig a couple hundred feet before the water inflow became too much for them to continue mining,” Danninger said.
