They sold 2,150 season tickets, well above their goal of 2,000. Last year they had 1581 subscribers. Already plans are in the making for a bigger and better season next year.

On the evening of the draw the first ticket drawn will win a prize of $50 and every 50th ticket drawn thereafter will also win $50. As well as the draws on October 3, five tickets will be pulled during the season and will be worth $25 each. And these winners still will have another chance to win when their tickets are put back into the barrel for the October 3 draw. The cost of the tickets is $25 and besides giving you a chance of winning $2,000, $50 or $25, it entitles you to dinner and dance at the recreation centre. Joyce Gordon and Ken Camroux are creating plenty laughs in Same. Time Next Year at Huron .Country Playhouse. Why not? It's ridiculous - a couple meets for one weekend every year to' have an illicit love affair. Although, it looks ef- fortless, Gordon • and Camroux are working hard to balance those laughs, and make it all somehow seem believable. And they're doing a fine job. The laughs are plentiful, but there are a couple of places where we feel a little bit sad, top. That com- bination along with the fact that we see the characters Doris and George grow up before our eyes make the play very human. Joyce Gordon is excellent as Doris. In the first scene, which takes place in 1951, Doris is a nervous girl with a squeaky voice and seems to have an empty head. It's relieving to know that she does mature. In the second scene we are informed that she has joined the book of the month club. Eventually she finishes high school. (She is pregnant and confined to bed so she finishes her high school courses - ironic, she explains, because she had to quit high school in the first place because she was pregnant.) Later we see her as a college student, a business women and finally in 1975, "comfortable"grandmother . Camroux, as George also grows - the comedy arises when their growth isn't synchronized. When Doris becomes the "flower child" George is a serious ac- countant. When Doris is the successful business woman, George has taken up playing the piano in a singles bar. Much of the humour in the play develops as a result of their zany love affair. And all though it's all in fun, the language might tend to shock some people. Thus it's not a play you'd take your elderly maiden aunt to see. One more thing - you'll certainly know how to make a bed by the time the show is finished. To indicate the five year time change between schenes, a maid comes out and makes the bed and rearranges the room a bit, We see the maid, played by playhouse bartender Debbie August 6 at 2:00 p.m. on the Shaddick as she grows up.
