by Colour of Brussels event
“Communities Connected”, a
program that provides links between
Huron County towns through arts
and history, is focusing on
promoting Brussels with its
upcoming program, “Colours of
Brussels”.
Held on June 22 at the Goderich
Co-Op Gallery, the event will
feature artists and art from the
Brussels area, the event
will hopefully show people “what
they have,” according to Jim Lee,
owner of Cinnamon Jim’s Café, who
will be performing music at the
event.
“Sometimes we don’t utilize or
realize what we’ve got,” he said.
“Until we’re outside of what we
have.”
Lee said that the program offers
exposure for Brussels, which will
benefit the area.
“Any kind of exposure is going to
benefit Brussels,” he said. “Both
exposure to people in Brussels and
those outside.”
Performing and sharing at the
event will be author and journalist
Carolyn Parks-Mintz, James Mintz
playing with Lee and Juno nominee
Lyndon John X.
Refreshments will be made by
Cinnamon Jim’s Café and admission
is by donation.
For more information call 519-
527-0160 or 519-440-0523.
The Communities Connected
program promotes economic,
artistic and historic links in
towns, villages and hamlets
within Huron County to
develop communication and
co-operation between them,
allowing a sharing of ideas and
resources.Show on the road

Serious FUN! members prepare
Cassandra for Fringe Festival
It’s a showcase of the talent that
harvests from a collection of local
ladies this year, as the Serious FUN!
Theatre Company stages
Cassandra, a one-woman show
penned by Bayfield playwright
Briana Brown, directed by Serious
FUN! founder, Blyth’s Shannon
Scott, acted by Goderich girl Ally
Connelly and features the behind the
scenes talents of Blyth teens Sadie
Chalmers and Kathryn Peach.
The troupe has spent months
preparing the comedic production
for London’s largest drama and arts
festival.
Grounded on the night before her
10th birthday, Cassandra Smith
embarks upon a journey to complete
a “list of things necessary to achieve
a successful, and therefore happy,
life” before the dreaded “double
digits” arrive. Satirical and
poignant,Cassandra is a one-
woman performance about a young
girl struggling to gain the respect
she deserves in a world filled with
adults who simple “don't hear”.
“The script is witty and hilarious,”
Scott said of the production. “The
storyline is charming and coy, but
what makes our production of
Cassandra so unique is that the
actor this time is herself a child. It’s
that reason I think we are the
exciting, innovative, stellar
performance the festival is looking
for because, man, can this kid act.”
Cassandra first hit the scene in
2006, when Brown took the
production on a successful cross-
Canada tour of Fringe Festivals.
Cassandra has won critical
acclaim along the Fringe circuit
throughout Ottawa, London,
Victoria and Vancouver. The play
has also been featured at the Bad
Dog Short Festival in Toronto and
staged before Dora-winning
production of Pyassa at the Theatre
Passe Muraille in 2008.
Cassandra is set for six
performances at the Spriet Family
Theatre, at the Covent Garden
Market mezzanine from June 19 to
27. Tickets are $8 and can be
purchased, cash only, at the door.
