The Blyth Festival will host a
night of celebration and cabaret-
style entertainment this spring.
Homegrown will celebrate the Blyth
Festival, its history, and the people
who have kept it vibrant for 36
years.
Homegrown will take place on
Saturday, April 24, at 8 p.m. A
reception will follow the
performance in the Lower Hall of
the Blyth Centre for the Arts. This
special one-night-only performance
will combine music, theatre, and
stories in a cabaret style to delight
the audience with reflections on 36
years of the arts in Blyth. The event
is suitable for the whole family.
Tickets are $25, available at
www.blythfestival.com or by calling
1-877-862-5984.
Artistic Director Eric Coates will
host the evening, which features
excerpts from several favourite
Blyth Festival productions.
“For 36 years the Blyth Festival
has brought local stories to life on
stage,” Coates said. “The artists who
have worked here during these years
always comment on the unique
connection between the Festival and
its local audience. Homegrown is a
salute to the people who had the
courage and the imagination to
make the Blyth Festival what it is
today: one of Canada’s leading
creators of original, professional
theatre.”
The line-up includes an excerpt
from He Won’t Come in from the
Barn, starring Festival favorites Ted
Johns and Janet Amos. Other
Festival artists performing include
Gil Garratt, whose hidden musical
talents will be on display, along with
Michelle Fisk, another familiar face
who rarely has the opportunity to
show off her singing voice in Blyth.
Randy Hughson, Blyth’s own
answer to Stompin’ Tom, will
also make a special musical
appearance.
Long known for its strong
connection to the community, the
Blyth Festival is a haven for
performers from the locale.
Homegrown will also feature songs
from members of the Blyth Festival
Singers and local step dancers and
cloggers will take the stage as
well.
Homegrown is a prelude to the
Blyth Festival’s 2010 summer
season, which runs June 23 -
September 4.

Magical stories
Magician Jennifer Black enthralled some young Brussels
residents with her stories of how several saints, including
St. Patrick, St. George, and St. Andrew, came to
sainthood. Black also did magic tricks between the stories.
