Bly th Festival names new General Manager After a search process over several weeks, the Board of Directors of the Blyth Festival have named a new general manager, Tim Chapman.

Mr. Chapman will join the staff on Nov. 3 and take over the post from Ms. Doner in January. Mr. Chapman comes to Blyth with seven years experience in arts administration. The majority of his experience has been with theatres similar in mandate to the Blyth Festival, that is, with theatres that produce primarily new Canadian plays. From 1979 to 1986 he held various positions at Toronto’s Tarragon Theatre, with duties ranging from administration, fund-raising and group sales to house management and box office. He also managed Tarragon’s training and rehearsal facility, the Maggie Bassett Studio. Since January of this year he has also been serving as General Manager of Masterclass Theatre, a Toronto-based theatre that pro­ duces works from the classical repertoire. Mr. Chapman has also been an active member of Theatre Ontario and of the Toronto Theatre Alliance, and has had experience as a stage and film actor, as a restaurant owner and manager, and as a social worker. He was raised in New Liskeard in Northern Ontario, but has lived in Toronto for a number of years. “I am eagerly looking forward to working with a theatre of the Blyth Festival’s stature and reputa­ tion.” said Mr. Chapman.
