Kids play has Christmas message In a world where Christmas seems to get lost in commercial- ism, A Christmas for Carol, presented by the Blyth Festival, December 7 at 2 p.m. tells a refreshing story. A Christmas for Carol is the story of a young girl who, caught up in the commercialism of a modern world, refuses to believe that Christmas has any real signifi- cance. She runs away from home on Christmas eve only to become lost in the woods. There, through a sprinkling of magic, the animals give her their own interpretation of Christmas. Through their songs and actions, she discovers the true meaning of the Christmas spirit but not before becoming involved with villains, heroes and the inevitable close escape. A Christmas for Carol is a homecoming of sorts: the first presentation of a new company headed by Uwe Meyer who spent four years at the Blyth Festival as production manager. He is now artistic director of the Victoria Playhouse, Petrolia and is author of A Christmas for Carol. Single tickets are $4 and are available from the Festival box office, 523-9300 or by mail order. GRANDVIEW LUNCH & GAS BAR BLYTH 523-4471 "If your wifecan'tcook don't divorce her. Eat at our place." Blyth Festival workshops 'new crop' of plays Dec. 9-13 Katherine Kaszas, Artistic Dir- ector of the Blyth Festival, has announced that three new scripts, currently under consideration for the 1986 season, will be work- shopped at the beginning of December. "I am very excited about the opportunity these workshops give to actors, directors, and of course the playwrights themselves. To have them all come to Blyth, away from the noise and stress of city life, is wonderful - a chance to really concentrate on the work in progress", she said today. The workshops will begin on December 2, culminating in an entire day of public readings and discussions with the actors, direc- tors, and playwrights, on Friday, December 13. The plays to be workshopped are: • SISTER JUDE by David Carley: An amusing look at presbyterianism in small town Ontario, through the eyes of a brother and sister - whose re- actions to their strict upbringing are very different. Originally from Peterborough, David Carley is also the author of Scoops which was performed at Port Stanley Summer Theatre last summer. The director will be Bob White, Artistic Director of Factory Theatre in Toronto. • GONE TO GLORY by Suzanne Finlay: Twoelderly women strugg- le to survive on their meagre pensions in the British Columbia interior. This is a comedy about their lives and eccentricities in the small brightly-coloured shack they call home. Another of Suzanne Finlay's play, Monkeyshines, was a big hit at BC's Bastion Theatre recently. Katherine Kaszas will direct. • ANOTHER SEASON'S PRO- MISE by Anne Chislett and Keith Roulston: A heart-rendering story Concert raises money for clinic A gala fundraising benefit starr- ing Frank Ruffo and Pat Dawson and other professional entertain- ers from Toronto will be held at Blyth Memorial Hall Friday, Nov. 29. The benefit is in aid of "Quest for health" a holistic health centre planned in the Bayfield area. A consumer health group with members from Goderich, Zurich, Blyth, Kitchener, New Hamburg, London and Toronto has plans to reopen the "Theresa Pfrimmer" clinic near Bayfield as a holistic health centre. Their aim is to promote good health through education in nutrition, exercise and changes in lifestyle, and to encourage people to take more responsibility for their own health. The benefit for Quest For Health will be presented at the Blyth Memorial Hall on Nov. 29 at 8 p.m.' Featured entertainers will be Pat Dawson and Frank Ruffo from Toronto stage and television.
