many different venues in its 10-
county coverage area. It soon
became known as "Canada's
Largest Travelling Barn Dance."
Each year, more than 40,000
people attended the remote
broadcasts and another 150,000
listened weekly on the radio.
Thompson, who was raised near
Listowel, remembers the Barn
Dance days from his childhood.
When he got the idea to do a play
about this local phenomenon, he
decided to use the collective
process, a style he honed during his
Kristen and- . • years with Theatre Passe Muraille
directing plays like The Farm
Show. Through this collaborative
process, the actors do first-hand
research, and develop scenes and
dialogue through improvisation to
create the final product.
These actors, many of whom
double as musicians, portray such
well-known Bam Dance alumni as
Ernie King, Earl Heywood, Don
and Cora Robertson, Cactus Mac,
Doc Cruickshank, Johnny Brent,
Ross Mann, Clarke Johnston, Larry
Mercey, Al Cherny and a host of
others. Back from last year in the
various roles are Raoul Bhaneja,
Eric Coates, Andrew Dolha,
Carolyn Hay, Gary Muir and
musical director/fiddler Anne
Lederman. Joining them this year
are Adam Large and musician E. A.
