The annual general meeting of
Huron Country Playhouse Inc. and
Huron Country Playhouse Holding
Foundation was held at 3 p.m. on
Saturday, Nov. 26 at the Lambton
Heritage Museum.
In his report, President Jack
Riddell reflected on what he called
a "most interesting and challenging
year." He remarked on the many
successes of the Playhouse which
have surpassed the achievements of
any other year commenting on the
new levels of comfort in the seats
and professionalism on the stage.
Mr. Riddell paid tribute to a
special group of ladies known as
the Guild. "It is comforting to know
that the Guild is always willing and
able when called upon for assist-
ance," he said. "Their financial
The Blyth Festival's board of
directors and management are
pleased to announce that Assistant
General Manager Karen Stewart
has been accepted by the Banff
Centre School of Management Arts
Administration Programme for
their upcoming two-week session
in February.
The nationally recognized arts
management training course only
accepts 40 students for each of its
two annual sessions. Participants
apply from across Canada and from
various disciplines in the arts:
theatre, dance, music, visual arts
(galleries), and museums.
Ms Stewart was not only
accepted for the session but was
one of only three applicants to
receive a full scholarship to cover
her attendance at Banff. Various
Canadian corporations support the
important work of the Banff
Centre's Management Programme
by making scholarships available.
Karen's scholarship is sponsored by
Imperial Oil Limited, a strong
supporter of the arts in Canada and
The mystical, magical kingdom
of Camelot, with its idealistic King
Arthur and legendary Knights of
the Round Table returns to vivid
life with this new production of
Lerner and Lowe's famed musical.
Camelot will appear at Kitchener's
The Centre In The Square for two
performances only on Feb. 21 and
22.
Starring acclaimed British actor
James Warwick this spectacular
musical features a lush and
romantic score including If Ever I
Would Leave You, I Wonder What
The King Is Doing Tonight and the
irresistible title song Camelot.
James Warwick, who plays King
Arthur, has had a most
distinguished career, having starred
in the British Academy Award
winning series Partners in Crime
and Lillie, both shown on PBS and
A & E.
Mr. Warwick was in the British
National tour of Marlowe's Dr.
Faustus. He also portrayed King
Arthur in the British tour of
most appreciated".
He concluded by reiterating how
proud he has been to serve as
President, for the past two years, of
such a healthy theatre organization
and wished his successor even
greater success.
Treasurer Bryan Beattie reported
that a record number of tickets
were sold and for the first time box
office revenues exceeded $1
million.
As there were no nominees for
the board of directors from the
floor, the motion was made to ac-
cept the slate of nominees as stated.
The 1994/95 board of directors are:
Charles Baxter (Dashwood), Mary
Burdon (London), Elia Douglas
(Grand Bend), Thomas Holloway
(London), Tom Kneale (Grand
Bend), Robert Mann (Grand Bend),
long-time sponsor of the Blyth
Festival's Youth Programmes.
Ms Stewart has been in the
employ of the Festival since 1986,
constantly upgrading her skills and
accepting more responsibilities in
the area of accounting, desk top
publishing, and Box Office
management. Her intimate know-
ledge of all aspects of the theatre's
management was most apparent
when severe staff cut-backs in late
1993 often meant she was the sole
management person in the office.
The Festival has many times
acknowledged the tremendous job
she accomplished during that
difficult time in its history and the
very positive role she has played in
the remarkable turn-around of the
theatre during the past year.
Upon hearing the news of Ms
Stewart's acceptance at Banff,
Artistic Director, Janet Amos said
"Karen's experience here at Blyth
qualifies her to teach the course!
Everyone there will definitely
benefit from Karen's sharing of her
own expertise and wonderful sense
of humour".
Camelot.
Having moved to Los Angeles,
Mr. Warwick has recently played

Long.

for truth and righteousness in the
world, and the choices he is forced
to make between his beloved
Queen Guenevere and his favourite
knight, Sir Lancelot.
Camelot is part of The Centre's
Musical Theatre Series. Also
offered are Barber of Seville (Feb.
20 and Will Rogers Follies (April 6
