Leading the list of guest direc tors is John Cooper who made his Grand debut when he directed last year’s controversial “Glengarry Glen Ross”. This year, Mr. Cooper returns to propel The Grand into its new season by directing the open ing play, John Murrell’s provoca tive “Farther West”. The second play of the 90-91 mainstage playbill, “The Cocktail Hour” is a stylish American come New youth play dy by A. R. Gurney directed by Peter Moss, Artistic Director of Young People’sTheatre. Mr. Moss’ work was last seen at The Grand when he directed the hit production of “The Man Who Came To Dinner” in 1988. The sophisticated musical “Jacques Brel Is Alive And Well And Living In Paris” will be directed by Valerie Moore. Al though Jacques Brel denotes Ms. Moore’s first directing engagement on The Grand Stage, her choreo graphy, is well know to Grand audiences (“Rock and Roll”, “Pal Joey” and “Girls in the Gang”). In the second half of the season, Artistic Director Martha Henry directs two of the three mainstage productions; Alan Ayckbourn’s acerbic comedy “Woman In Mind” (December Bee) and the award winning Canadian musical “Fire”. The fifth play in the season, “My Children! My Africa!” by Athol Fugard, is a touring production from Centaur Theatre in Montreal, directed by Centaur Executive Director Maurice Podbrey.

Join us weekly for KARATE Every Monday & Thursday Children - 6 to 7 p.m. Adults - 7 to 8 p.m. BLACK BELT INSTRUCTORS ONLY announced at Grand Artistic Director Martha Henry has announced that “I Ain’t Dead Yet” by Christopher Heide will replace David For Queen by John Lazarus as the third presentation in the 1990-91 Theatre For Young Audience series. Filled with traditional music of Nova Scotia, “I Ain’t Dead Yet” focuses on the relationship be tween and elderly woman, Margar et, and her teenage granddaugh ter, Katie. As Margaret relives moments of her own troubled fouth, she reaches out to help 2atie deal with an extremely difficult problem. Commented Ms. Henry: “Chris Heide is a talented playwright with a strong, active presence in the Maritime theatre community. The young Nova Scotian director, Tessa Mendel, will stage “I Ain’t Dead Yet”, a play about us when we’re young and also when we’re old and the secret affinity that often occurs between these generations. Al though our hope to co-produce David For Queen with a Toronto company could not be realized this year, we will produce it in our 1991-92 season for young audi ences in The McManus Theatre.” I Ain’t Dead Yet, first produced by Nova Scotia’s Mermaid Theatre in 1985, will run in The McManus Studio Theatre from January 21 - February 9, 1991.
