The Laguna Playhouse had to scramble late Tuesday afternoon to find a substitute for actress Colleen Dunn, who had to drop out of “Quilters” because of a medical emergency. Playhouse artistic director Douglas Rowe said Dunn was rushed to Saddleback Memorial Medical Center in Laguna Hills at 4:30 a.m. Tuesday for an appendectomy. “We’ve cast another actress, Cameron Ahia,” said Rowe, who noted that there are no understudies for any of the seven women in the show. “Most of Colleen’s lines will be divided among the other actresses.”
In a “Quilters” review Tuesday, roles played by Dunn and Carolyn Miller were inadvertently reversed. Dunn played the old-maid schoolteacher; Miller, who was credited with that role, played the handsome cowboy.
