Festival to announce
20th season playbill
The best-kept secret in Huron
County is about to be released.
Blyth Festival's Artistic Director
Janet Amos will be announcing the
exciting 20th anniversary season
playbill at a special "country pot
luck" launch party. Sponsors,
patrons, dignitaries, members of the
board of directors, and the general
public have all been invited to
bring a little bit of country
hospitality and join the party to be
held in the June Hill Room of the
Blyth Festival administration
building, starting at 4 p.m on
Thursday, March 3.
While Ms Amos is keeping mum
on the titles of the plays, she has
revealed the playwrights of the four
productions.
Highlighting the season will be
the return of a Blyth classic by
playwright Ted Johns. Perhaps
more than any other production in
the 20 year history of the Festival,
this salute to the indomitable spirit
of agricultural Ontario has been
associated with the success and
rural appeal of the Blyth Festival.
This will be its first return to the
Blyth stage since 1981.
The other three productions
slated for the 1994 summer season
also reflect Ms Amos's dedication
to returning the Festival closer to
its roots, each selected for its
guaranteed appeal to area
audiences. Two are by famous
Canadian authors. One is by
renowned contemporary author and
playwright W. O. Mitchell, and the
other is a popular work by a tum-
of-the-century favourite, Ralph
Connor, freshly scripted for the
stage by Governor-General's
Award-winning playwright Anne
Chislett. Some of Chislett's many
previous hits at Blyth include The
Tomorrow Box, Quiet in the Land,
and Yankee Notions.
The fourth production, also a
world premiere, is a delightful
romantic comedy set on Vancouver
Island, and is the second play
staged at the Blyth Festival by B.C.
playwright Suzanne Finlay. Her
whimsical and whacky comedy,
Gone to Glory, premiered at Blyth
in 1986, and has continued to
entertain audiences at venues
across North America.
To find out first-hand the names
of the four plays, come to the
special country pot luck party on
March 3. While there is certainly
no obligation to bring anything,
everyone is invited to join in the
fun and hospitality of the Blyth
Festival.
