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.
' There were flawless perfor-
mances by each multiple-personali-
ty member of the cast, particularly
Carolyn Hay, who portrayed every
woman in the production. Though
visually, it was quite evident the
parts were played by the same actor

(she once changed costume at cen-
tre stage), each character was easily
discernable due to wide ranging
personas.
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

Cruickshank and Johnny Brent dur-
ing an important discussion.
Family Ties, who will be sharing
the role with other local step danc-
ing groups, are almost worth the
price of admission alone.
This year's opener is sure to draw
large crowds as it is truly an enter-
taining and amusing evening out. It
