The Lucknow Sentinel, 1983-05-11, Page 7letters to the editor Blyth Festival seeks member support To the Editor: It's been eight years since the Blyth Festival presented its first play on the stage of Blyth Memorial Hall. Only through the loyal support of the people of our region, the hard workers at the Festival, the Canada Council and the Ontario Arts Council have we been able to be financially successful and we would like to continue to grow and stay in the "black". May is our annual fund-raising campaign month. It is also the month we start to think of summertime, sunshine, and the warm, radiant glow of a mid -summer's day...these things will soon be upon us and with them will come that celebrational sense of the opening of Blyth Festival '83 on June 24. We are so fortunate to have a successful theatre that is making headlines across the country, right at our fingertips to enjoy. Janet Amos has another exciting season planned for us with an excel- lent cross section of topical themes. You can get a head start on getting the best seats by subscribing early through our handy voucher packages which are on sale until June 18 at only $20 for four vouchers that can then be exchanged for tickets anytime. This is a saving of $8 by purchasing early. Please join us in continuing to make the Blyth Festival a success by purchasing a general membership at $10; a supporting membership at $25; an associate membership at $50; a obituary Patron at $100 or more. Tax deductive receipts are issued for all donations $10 and over. I'm sure you have noticed by this point of my "plea" that 1 refer to our theatre as the Blyth Festival. Why not the Blyth Summer Festival? Because we are active in fall, winter and spring as well. Our program of music, theatre and children's performances featuring renowned names; the art gallery and the dedicated 80 member choir the Blyth Festival Singers that pulls members from as far as Huron Park and Listowel, all keep Memorial Hall busy year-round. We extend a special invitation for you to share in the excitement of live Canadian theatre. We know your afternoon or evening will be pleasure - ably spent. Wouldn't you like to become in- volved as a new member (or if you've been a member, wouldn't you like to renew your membership)? Back a winner. Call the box office for more information at 523-9300 or myself at 523-4331. Sincerely, Elizabeth Herman, President, Board of Directors, Blyth Centre for the Arts.
