Blyth boy performs at BlythIestival - Jason Lee, a 12 -year-old Blyth Resident, is the youngest actor on the Blyth Festival stage this season. Jason plays the role of SandyPurves, the youngest in the family spanning, four generations, in Another Season's Promise. He first heard of the acting opportunity when Mr. Black, Principal of Blyth. Public School where Jason is in Grade 7,. announced that the Festival was looking for a boy for one of the plays. Along with several other hopefuls, Jason read lines from the script for Katherine Kaszas, Artistic Director of the Festival, and Keith Roulston, co-author of the play and editor of the Blyth and Brussels Citizen. Was he nervous on stage? "For the first few nights I was pretty scared, but now I'm not. I was also really tired at the final rehearsals, right before the play opened," he says. "But now I'm used to it. I normally go to bed around 11 p.m. anyway so it's not much different" Jason's family have lived in Blyth "ever since I can remember". He doesn't think his two brothers or baby sister are much .impressed with his current fame. And his fortune? "It's nice having some money to spend," says Jason. `I've already bought a radio and I'rn going to buy a fishing rod and equipment too. The rest I'm saving to take with me to Florida next year." '. And his plans for the future? "I don't know what I want to do yet," he says."I've got lots of time to decide. but I don't think I want to be an actor!" 1
