Playhouse season takes off with Peter Pan
Recently revived on Broadway,
Peter Pan. . .the musical (June 14 -
July 2) opens the 23rd Season at
Huron Country Playhouse. Based
on one of the fabulous plays of the
century by Sir James M. Barrie,
Peter Pan . the musical (originally
starring Mary Martin) is a
glistening, vastly amusing fantasy
that bubbles with vitality. Fly to
Ncverland with Captain Hook,
Tinkerbcll, the Lost Boys, the
Pirates, Wendy, John, Michael and
Peter himself and be happy as a
child again.
Starring as Peter Pan will be
Leisa Way who has been
previously seen at the Playhouse as

taking place. For the first time,
parents have been given a direct
voice in the development of
provincial education policy through
the establishment of the Ontario
Parent Council.
Minister of Education and
Training Dave Cooke will be
involved in a number of activities
during Education and Training
Week, including a Math
Symposium in Toronto on May 5
and 6. Parents, teachers and math
experts from around the province
will work together at this
symposium to develop
recommendations to the Minister
on how to improve student
achievement in mathematics. Their
report will be shared with the
public as soon as it's available.
I look forward to Education and
Training Week because it's a good
opportunity to find out first hand
what is happening in our
educational system. Any time I've
been able to see our schools in
action, I have always been truly
impressed with the ability of
students and the dedication of their
teachers I urge all of you to find
out about events in your
neighbourhood schools and see for
yourself how well our schools are
performing. Let's all celebrate
Education and Training Week.
