E ntertainment Theatre review By Janice Becker From the first reminiscence to the final note, the Blyth Festival The- atre's production of Barndance Live, is a comedic, musical trip down memory lane. Whether of the generation which actually remembers the 21-year run of CKNX Radio's Barn Dance from 1942 to 1963, or a few years younger and can recall the country tunes emitting from the television, the music and stories are sure to strike a cord. The 22nd season opener, a col- lective created by Blyth Festival veteran Paul Thompson and the small cast is magical. Not only does it •tell tales of a few of the musicians and peripheral people of the Barn Dance, but it gives a glimpse into the lives of those involved in the early days. From those first dreams of Doc Cruickshank's (wonderfully por- trayed by Gary Muir) for a live entertainment country show, to comical moments experienced by Ernie King (Raoul Bhaneja) and Larry Mercey (Eric Coates), the show brings laughs and an under- standing of the times.

This ability was evident in all the actors, as they filled the shoes of several characters throughout the two-hour performance. One could go from a silly, snickering younger brother to a talented musical and well-known artist in a matter of minutes. Not only was their acting ability apparent, but the quality of the music was not sacrificed for it. The players were obviously multi-tal- ented. It is difficult to select any partic- ular performance above the others as all were exceptional, however, the talents of a group of Mitchell step dancers, Family Tics, brought oohs and aahs from the audiences. Not only did the young girls show amazing talent in their dance, but their eyes shone as they inter- acted with the actors on stage. It was quite evident they were having For more information on the importance of wetlands, contact P.O.

Family Ties, who will be sharing the role with other local step danc- ing groups, are almost worth the price of admission alone.
