The Blyth Festival begins a two
month adventure on the roads of
Ontario and Manitoba, carrying its
newest play, Cornflower Blue to
the stage of 32 theatres and com
munities until December 1.
A 24 foot truck packed with a
prairie sky, cornflower clumps,
bicycles, lines of laundry, a
portable beauty salon, revolving
kitchen, 300 feet of cable, 36 lights
and much more will transform
gymnasiums, theatres and com
munity centres into the prairie town
of Cornflower, Alberta. Award
winning writer, Kelly Rebar takes
you home through the lives of four
childhood friends, as they weave
their comic and touching stories.
Accompanied by music of the
country composed by Michael Tay
lor, Cornflower Blue is a celebra
tion of family and home.
“At the Blyth Festival, we are
committed to telling stories about
this country” says Peter Smith,
Artistic Director of the Blyth Fes
tival. “Kelly Rebar tells a great story
and her characters leap to life. We're
delighted to be able to share these
imaginative stories with our audience
in Blyth, in communities throughout
Ontario as we tour the play beginning
September 17, in 9 communities
throughout Manitoba in November,
and in Winnipeg at Prairie Theatre
Exchange from November 12 to
December 1, 1991. Our cast involves
Canadian artists from British
Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan,
Manitoba and Ontario.”
The collection of characters in
Cornflower Blue can be found in any
town. It's Hockey Night in Canada on
Saturdays, maybe the hairdresser on
Thursdays and Friday nights with
your best friends. Critics praised it as
a “play audiences can relate to no
matter what part of the country they
