The Farm Show took a Ml- arious look at farm life in Huron County. The various skits which composed the show, happy, sad and touching, were portrayed with credibility gained from their con- tacts with farm life while in the Holmesville area last sum- Met', The actorS were skillful In mimicry. They could imitate anything from farm machinery to animals and portray an array of different characters by expert change in voice, stance and tim- ing. The show was an engaging experience in professional theatre, with excellent produc- tion and superb acting in a type of show seldom seen. The group will perform on May 13th in Stratford, later at the National Art Centre In Ottawa and on to an Eastern United States tour this fall.
