DTC company member Sally Nystuen Vahle is Ouiser (pronounced “weezer”), the town’s ill-tempered and wealthy spinster, a reliable cynic who can be counted on to quash any grand scheme of neighborliness, community festivities or blanket goodwill. Vahle, who always enters pissed off or smirking, brings a comic, don’t-give-a-damn energy to the folksy heat of the beauty shop.
