Public response to Blyth theatre gratifying.
•from page 6
wonderful way to help build a sense of
Canadian identity!
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!
Yours truly,
Helen Gowing
