Prairie Boy's Winter'
■«T...| |PARK THEATRE |
He’s survived
the most hostile
and primitive
land known
to man.
Just in time for Christmas comes a winter delight, “A Prairie Boy’s Winter” from the Prairie Theatre
Exchange in Winnipeg. Robb Paterson, Andrew Stelmack and Karen Barker are seen in this scene from an
earlier production of the play which will appear at Blyth Memorial Hall, Dec. 13 and 14.
‘ ‘ A Prairie Boy’ s Winter’ ’, a hit
play for the whole family from
Prairie Theatre Exchange in Win
nipeg will bring a special family
Christmas season treatto Blyth
Memorial Hall Dec. 13 and 14.
A Prairie Boy’s Winter tells of a
young boy’s experience during a
winterinasimplertime. Theplayis
underscored with original music
and is suitable for adults and for
children over five years of age. It is
a nostalgic comedy in which
children spend idyllic days catch
ing snowflakes on their tongues
and playir.g hockey on homemade
rinks. A Prairie Boy’s Winter is
also a moving portrayal of two very
different brothers who while play
ing the familiar games of winter
come to understand one another.
Children and adults alike will be
transfixed by the luminously-
coloured costumes, the imagina
tive staging, the lyrical theme
music and the joyful celebration of
Canadian winter.
The play, which is based on the
stories and paintings of Manitoba
artist William Kurelek, played to
capacity crowds throughout Mani
toba for the last two Christmas
season. “Moveover, Nutcrack
er!” crowed the Winnipeg Sun in
