What is truly gratifying to the theatre, however, is the tremendous response of our audience. In answer to why they like Blyth, they have said: "...you have a great festival..." "...keeping prices reasonable..." "...the excellent quality of plays presented...we appreciate the small scale the theatre is run on and is still able to present superb entertain- ment." "...as long as we live, we'll never forget Ted Johns in the School Play..." "...what the building meant to me and my family back in the days of Chaut- auqua and similar entertainment in the 20s and 30s..." "...the atmosphere of a special small town...the blithe spirit of Blyth..." "...it's a local success story..." Yes, the Blyth Festival is many things to many people. Not only is it a cultural and artistic catalyst to the arts in this area but the economic spin-off from the organization is incalcuable. In 1982, over 43,000 people carne to Memorial Hall for the summer and winter programs; during the upcom- ing season, whose budget will reach $341,000, almost 60 people will be employed by the Centre, living and working in the area for four months. As a respected theatre, the Blyth Festival receives financial assistance from both the provincial and federal governments. These grants, combined with our box office receipts, are an insufficient means of generating the. funds needed to produce the high .. quality performances we deliver. The Festival needs the continued support of the people who are excited by the contribution Blvth is making to this area and to theatre across the country. A membership begins at $10 and the names of donors of $100 and more appear on our program's patron list. You may wish to designate your donation to go to a special project like the Children's Drama Workshops, the Playwrights Workshop Program, or the Art Gallery. No donation is too small to be appreciated and is tax- deductible. e As well, all members receive our regular newsletter, Cur- tain Call. Back a winner in '83!
