Play gets 'Friends'
together in Blyth
The Blyth. Festival invites
audiences of all ages to meet New
Friends, Old Friends on Saturday,
Oct. 26 at 3 p.m. at the Blyth
Memorial Community Hall. This
production follows in the tradition
of other recent Blyth Festival
children's hits like Peter and the
Wolf in 1994 and Let's Do Munsch
in 1995 which performed to more
than 10,000 students, teachers and
parents.
Specifically created for children
in Grades K-6, New Friends, Old
Friends is written and directed by
Duncan McGregor, a member of
the Blyth Festival Board and
former artistic director of Carousel
Players in St. Catharines. -
The play includes three stories of
friendship set in Southwestern
Ontario: Tractor Dan is a hilarious
and heroic introduction of the
tractor to Ontario farming; Ralph
and Fiona is about the curious
friendship between an old sheepdog
in serious trouble and a freedom-
loving fox, dedicated to helping
him; The Amazing Adventures of
Emily tells about a young girl who
manages to outwit a furious spell-
maker by befriending three animals
in need.
The play is performed by actors
from the community, and includes
puppets, action, comedy and
original music composed and
performed by Arlene Darnborough
of Goderich. Arlene previously
provided the music for Peter and
the Wolf and Munsch.
