Playhouse director details
The Huron Country Play-
house this summer produced
over $60,000 in ticket revenues,
a big increase over last year.
This should enable the play-
house to come close to operat-
ing within the money avail-
able. However, Playhouse man-
ager and artistic director Jim
Murphy, says the Playhouse is
not receiving enough help
from government grants.
"We need about $50,000 in
subsidies every year to break
even as it costs about $200,000
to produce one season. We
can't earn that much money
even if we sell every ticket for
every show," says Mr. Murphy.
There will be some changes
in next year's season adds Mr. • Murphy. For one thing they
will only be producing six
plays although the season will
still run for 10 weeks. Tickets
are already on sale and sell-
ing well. This also means there
will be two week runs on plays
during the season,
The dining room, Stablefair,
will be no more. Instead the
room will be changed into a
"snalfery" so it can cater to
Front, Kay Grafton, 2nd vice president; Phyl Wilkins, past
president; Beth Jean, president; and Helen Kleinstiver, 1st
vice president. Absent are Jane Sullivan, 3rd vice president;
Jean McKenzie, secretary; Joy Hogg, treasurer; Helen Douglas,
publicity; Sherri Albertson, Boutique,

planning for next summer
Murphy. feels the idea of hit
and miss volunteer ushers,
parking attendants and people
to help with cleaning up must
end as it is not reliable enough.
Instead, Mr. Murphy hopes
next year to hire local people
to act as ushers and car parks
and to help with cleaning,
There is still some work to
be done on the stage lights,
but hopefully this will be
finished this fall. Only one
play will be toured next year,
funds are difficult to get.
Mr. Murphy expressed pleas-
ure at the very profitable year
the Playhouse Guild has had,
the Boutique alone bringing in
just over $1,000.
Next year's opening date will
be June 27, a Tuesday as un-
like past years the playhouse
will play from Thursday night to
Saturday night inclusive with
Matinees on Wednesdays and
Saturdays.
Exeter school fair
adds new divisions
a larger number of people with
fewer problems. The menu
will perhaps carry around six
items such as sandwiches,
salads, chili, etc. It would be
open before and after the show
hopefully and be geared to high
volume.
Mr. Murphy also mentioned
the idea of making individual
stalls available in the build-
' ings which people could rent
and sell arts and crafts, flowers
or whatever they wanted.
"People are always coming to
the theatre early so we should
give them something to do,"
says Mr. Murphey. "The Play-
house would collect a rent from
the stalls and leave everything
else up to those doing the
renting. The plan has not
however been finalized.
There will be no apprentice-
ship people at the playhouse
next year as in former years
as the program was proving to
be too expensive. Also, Mr.
Entries in the school division of
this year's Exeter Fall Fair are
expected to be as numerous as
last year when they reached the
highest figure in the fair's
history.
Donna Webster, in charge of
the school section said this week
that she expects a number of new
classes will help to increase in-
terest not only by elementary
students but some from the
secondary level as well.
For students from the ages of
13 to 16 three new divisions have
been added. They are wooden
foot stools and cabinets, an ar-
ticle with a minimum of four
embroidery stitches and an ar-
ticle of patches.
Past president of the school
division Dolores Shapton is
sponsoring a class for elemen-
tary school baking enthusiasts.
Prizes will be awarded to the best
five home-made Chelsea buns.
