Hollett, director of Radio :30. Chris
Earle plays Ron, a "voice guy," at
the top of his game, ready to record
a 30 second radio ad with the help
of his faithful recording engineer
Mike, played by Sam Earle. Ron has
secrets he can't help but share and
slowly reveals how the polished
dishonesty of his profession has
infected his personal life.

Guthrie, the troubled teen on TV's
Emmy -winning Degrassi. His other
film and television credits include
Defiance, Call Me Fitz, Sticks and
Stones and the web series
Guidance.
Shari Hollett is a director, writer
and actor who has worked across
Canada and the U.S. including

to be back in beautiful Blyth."

Special to the News Record
September is coming up fast! For
some that means back to school time.
But for the Blyth Festival Singers it's a
When

callback to rehearsals for an exciting
upcoming season.
With the choir you get that same back
to school feeling: seeing friends again,
preparing to learn new things, getting
new music like we used to get new books.
In fact, choir is way better than the first
day of school. It's like having the best
class of the day all the time - music!
And there are other perks! You don't
have to ride the school bus but instead
get to drive with your car pool buddies.
There are no tests, no pass or fail - we all
sing for own pleasure and learning at
choir. We always get gold stars of
achievement - from our very appreciative
audiences.
To everyone that took time to fill out Made in
Huron Artisan Market's customer questionnaire
for our new location at 10 Huron St.
The winner of the BBQ gift basket was
Mary Lou O'Brien from Clinton. Be sure to
visit us and see all our new vendors and your
favourites for gift ideas or local foods.
And no one has to eat soggy sand-
wiches either as we have awesome social
nights once a month with the most deli-
cious homemade goodies.
Whatever your reason - we welcome
and invite you to join the Singers for the
exciting 2014-2105 season.
It includes a go at the Messiah and
other Christmas music for December, a
musical tribute to the war years in the
spring, and a showcase of up-and-com-
ing young musical talent at our May
cabaret.
Singing is good for the body and the
soul, so treat yourself and join us, and be
sure to invite your friends as well.
We welcome singers of all abilities
and ages. Registration fees for high
school students are half price and new-
comers can give the choir a three-week
trial.
Choir registration and our first prac-
tice is on Wed., Sept. 3 in the June Hill
Room, on the upper floor of the Blyth
Festival administration offices.
Registration starts at 7 p.m. with
rehearsal from 7:30 to 9:30 pm.
If you have a Messiah score, dig it out,
dust it off and bring it along!

dent Shelley McPhee Haist at
