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.
