'Patience is growing into a fun-packed performance QUESTION: What makes Patience' grow in beauty and enchantment? ANSWER: Patience. Sound crazy? Well, when 'Patience is an ambitous Gilbert and Sullivan operetta comprising the voices of over 40 people, it not only takes the patience of Job to carry it off but it also demands tong hours of hard work, per- severance and an over abun- dance of enthusiasm, The Huronia Singers, under the spirited direction of Mrs. Roland McCaffrey, have all these in- gredients and more. If the show they plan to produce at the Exeter District High School, April 6, 7 arid 8, isn't a smash it's not because they haven't thrown themselves into it lock, stock and barrel. Practising commenced last October; it's been two times a week since February. And the funny thing about it is the per- formers say they've enjoyed the long rehearsals and the steady grind of learning lines and music that makes 'Patience' one of Gilbert and Sullivan's most brilliant operettas. As a matter of fact they've sometimes enjoyed it too much. Their director has more than once had to rap them on the knuckles for breaking up over the many zany situations that occur in the production. Vivacious, bouncy, Marion McCaffrey says, "I had to let the cast know right from the start how nasty and snarly I can be. In producing a show of this kind there had to be discipline . lines must be learned and deadlines must be set," "No, no," she's apt to thunder from the sidelines, "You missed your cue. Start again. Louder. Sing out. Pick it up. Look miserable. Too slow, Come on, come on, move into U.!" Despite her sergeant-major approach and her demands for better and better performance Marion says she's happy with the way the production is moving. "It's growing well and flowing together with ever increasing sureness,- She's positive the Huronia Singers will have a hit on their hands opening night. "At one time I may have wondered if I'd bitten off more than we could chew," she laughs, "But not anymore! They (the singers) are a tremendous group of people and they're giving this operetta everything they've got," Not only the singers are working hard. There's Mrs. Dorothy Wildfong, the pianist, who's been on deck for every rehearsal;there's also the people who work quietly behind the scenes building and painting sets and properties, selling tickets and the hundred and one other odd jobs that make for a suc- cessful production. Rather than try to make costumes it was decided to rent them from a Toronto company for the nights of the performance. The plot of this Gilbert and Sullivan fantasy is as jam-packed with fun and catchy tunes as any of the other operettas these two geniuses wrote. It's all about love and poets, soldiers and love sick maidens . . well, no need to tell you. See it for yourself. PRINCIPALS Gordon Johnson and Anne Marie Hoffman rehearse their roles for the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta, Patience, T-A photo MANY PEOPLE HELP BEHIND THE SCENES: Three of the many who work quietly behind the scenes are shown building and painting r rock for the Patience production. They are Marion Sweet, Roland McCaffrey and Cheryl Sweet. T-A photo 00 PAIN? Trivitt confirmation Right Rev. H. F. G. Appleyard, KC, D.
