T-A photo Women's Institute urged to give best Playhouse releases show plans James Murphy, artistic director for the Huron Coun­ try Playhouse, Grand Bend, released plans for five of the six shows that will make up the 1978 Festival of Summer Theatre. Opening the season on July 4 is Neil Simon’s THE ODD COUPLE, the fifth Neil Simon work to be stag­ ed at the Playhouse. The Odd Couple first appeared on Broadway 13 years ago and stared Art Carney and Walter Matthau. The televi­ sion series based on the same two characters, Felix and Oscar, originated short­ ly thereafter and starred Jack Klugman and Tony Randall. The second production of the Playhouse season is the melodrama DRACULA, bas­ ed on the novel of Bram Stocker and dramatized by Hamilton Deane and John L. Balderston. According to the Playhouse, when Dracula first appeared in 1927, the production was so frighten­ ing that many audience members screamed in horror, some fainted. The play is not likely to have the same effect today, said the Playhouse artistic director, but it has lost none of its popularity with audiences over its 50 year history. Two different productions of Dracula are currently running in New York, while a totally different version is being offered at the Toronto Free Theatre. Also, the role of Dracula, the vampire, is a favourite with actors. Bella Lugosi was the first actor to play Dracula on stage and he appeared also in the 1931 film version of the play. The third production of the season is PAJAMA TOPS, by Mawbry Green and Ed Teilbert and based on the French farce “Moumou” by Jean de Letraz. In its original French version, the play ran for 5 continuous years in Paris. An English version then played Lon­ don’s west end for 3 years and several more in America. Mr. Murphy reports being only vaguely aware of the play before see­ ing a Toronto production two years ago and deciding it was one of the funniest plays he had ever seen. Following Pajama Tops, is the musical comedy OKLAHOMA!. With Music by Richard Rogers and book and lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein, .Oklahoma! first appeared in the early 40’s. Starring in the original cast were Alfred Drake as Curly and Celeste Holme as Ado Annie. Oklahoma! is probably the most popular musical comedy in theatrical history. The fifth Playhouse production of the summer season is the nostalgic com­ edy hit from the 30’s, THE MAN WHO CAME TO DINNER. Moss Hart and Geo. Kaufman created this popular classic which originally starred Monty Wooley as the celebrated, cantankerous and egocen­ tric man who came to dinner — and stayed several weeks. The ‘78 Season, the seventh for the Playhouse, is a salute to six decades of GRAND BEND AND DISTRICT NEWS . • ■ < great theatre hitis. The final production of the season — from the 1910’s or the 1970’s will be announced shortly.
