It’s all in the hands
Quick hands and fast feet where definitely in play for Mary Lou Johnston, winner of the Blyth
Lions Club three minute shopping spree at Scrimgeour’s Food Market, Blyth. Johnston
racked up $800.26 worth of merchandise as she cruised the aisles Wednesday, Jan. 15.
Funds raised by the Lions Club will go to the Blyth and Area Fire Department for the
purchase of rescue equipment. Pictured with Johnston are, from left, Lion Charlie Shaw,
Lion Alex Donaldson and Brent Scrimgeour of Scrimgeour Food Market.
Stage Door on the Net has
announced the winners of the first
annual Stage Door Awards. The
Blyth Festival won three of the 20
awards, called the Stage Door
Johnnies, which recognize
excellence in live professional
theatre on the stages of
Southwestern Ontario for the
1995/96 season for winter theatres,
and the 1996 season for summer
festivals like Blyth.
While the Shaw and Stratford
Festivals presented the highest
number of award-winning
productions, with nine and five
respectively, productions at Blyth
received three awards, the Huron
Country Playhouse in Grand Bend
garnered two and The Grand in
London took one.
The Blyth Festival's awards
include Best Actress in a Drama for
Wanda Graham who portrayed-
Mrs. Alexander Graham Bell in
Mabelle Mabel', Best Supporting
Actor in a Drama for Rustey
Davenport who played Jamie, the
mentally challenged grandson in
Fireworks', and Best New Play for
Gordon Portman who wrote
Fireworks.
All live professional stage
presentations running at least two
weeks on my Southwestern Ontario
stages outside of Toronto are
eligible for the Stage Door Awards.
Stage Door on the Net was created
two years ago to help publicize
smaller theatres in the region.
Several larger theatres, such as
Stratford and Shaw Festivals, have
their own web sites, and Stage
Door provides quick links to their
sites for full and colourful coverage
of their season's offerings. Most of
the smaller theatres, however, such
as those in Blyth, Drayton and
Fergus, do not have a presence on
the Net, and Stage Door set out to
remedy this.
Stage Door is located at
www.cyg.net/~stampact/ or can be
easily found by entering "Stage
Door Theatre Ontario" in most web
