Connie Nightingale, president of Crocus 80 theatre group and director of Kitchen Witches, during a<br />
dress rehearsal at Weyburn Legion Hall. Crocus 80 was founded in 1980, went on to win several awards,<br />
then disbanded in 2005. In 2011, Nightingale was diagnosed with stage-three cervical cancer. For her,<br />
time was precious. As soon as she healed from the surgery to remove her tumours she spearheaded the<br />
revival of Crocus 80. “When confronted with such an obstacle, I know there are parts of you that say<br />
‘slow down’. Maybe you feel sorry for yourself, but it’s just not good medicine to do that,” she says. “I<br />
have to keep rewarding myself with life and things that make me happy.” Theatre makes her happy.<br />
