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

great theatre hitis. The final
production of the season —
from the 1910’s or the 1970’s
will be announced shortly.
Seniors enjoy
