E Waterloo Stage theatre ntertainment ends season with `Luv' IR RI MI IR NI IN IR RI RI For many theatre-goers, the music of Carousel stands the test of time as some of the most beautiful music ever written. On Wednesday, Jan. 28 and Thursday, Jan. 29, when Carousel waltzes onto The Centre In The Square's stage for two performances, the wondrous sounds of Rogers and Hammerstein will emanate like notes from a carousel's calliope. Tickets, priced from $35 are on sale at The Centre In The Square box office. Carousel is Rodgers and Hammerstein's fable of love and redemption. In a small fishing village on the rocky new England coastline Carousel tells the story of Billy Bigelow and Julie Jordan. As the Orchestra London season gets into full swing, Scottish her- itage will be celebrated Jan. 24 and 25. Each day, A Celtic Ceilidh, will be presented at Centennial Hall. The production will include John Allan Cameron, the Pipes and Drums of the Police under the SCHOOL NEWS Grey Central students are busy researching and preparing information for their speeches, which they will present in their classrooms. The judges will then decide which ones to send on in the competition. Mrs. Crocker has started a few new traditions at Grey Central. Students are taking part in reading the morning announcements and beginning this week — "Happy Birthdays" will be included as well. The "Alzheimer's Memory Box" ... the large bulletin board inside of the main doors at Grey is beginning to fill, as students record memories from their past that they do not want to forget. MRS. RICHMOND'S GRADE 1/2 Welcome to our new principal, Billy, the handsome, swaggering barker for Mrs. Mullin's carousel, falls for Julie, who works at the nearby mill. Against everyone's advice, Julie marries Billy, but their brief happiness turns to despair when Billy loses his job. In a botched-up robbery attempt, Billy takes his own life, fearful of not being able to provide for Julie and their unborn child. Refused• at heaven's gate until he redeems himself on earth, Billy receives not one, but two chances to make things right. Eventually he does, as his love for Julie and his daughter Louise transcends his own death. Carousel features some of Rodgers and Hammerstein's most moving works such as If I Loved You, What's The Use of Wond'rin and direction of Major Archie Cairns, Canada's Celtic Kids, The Lancast- er School of Irish Dance, The Sutherland Highland Dancers, folksinger Allistair Brown. The conductor will be Brian Jackson. The Saturday performance begins at 8 p.m. while the Sunday show is a 2:30 p.m. Mrs. Crocker. Thank you for reading us a story. Grade 2s are working on spelling activities and dictation. They are learning about penguins. There are many different kinds of penguins. They are looking forward to skating! The Grade is are learning how to use the DreamWriter computers in the Library. MRS. HENRY'S GRADE 1/2 Grade 2 is reading animal stories. Grade 1 is reading about pets. They are all learning about penguins. They used the new computer presentation unit in our classroom. It let Mrs. Henry show them a computer program on the TV, so everyone could see it at the same time. They got to see a picture and information about penguins. MRS. ROBINSON'S You'll Never Walk Alone. Following on the heels of the incredibly successful Oklahoma, Carousel opened at Broadway's Majestic Theatre on April 19, 1945 where it ran for 890 performances. The 1994 revival garnered five Tony Awards including Best Musical Revival and Best Director of a Musical. In addition to Carousel, The Centre In The Square is offering three other musicals in the next few months. Bye Bye Birdie on March 13 and 14; Grease on March 31 and The Goodbye Girl on May 12.

Ian Franklin will be playing the oboe with Suzanne Edmondson accompanying him on the piano. Show times are 1:30, 2:30 and 3:30 p.m. EARLY YEARS They have learned about baby belugas. They're learning about fish. They made octopus, which have eight legs with suction cups on them. They used an under-the- sea-computer program. They played crab soccer in the gym. They brought beach things for sharing time. The class has been looking at sea shells with magnifying glasses. The students listened to a seashell and told a story. ICE STORM VICTIMS Mr. Perrie, (who retired before Christmas), returned to Grey last week, and was busy in the Grey Central woodlot. He was cutting wood to be sent to aid people who were devastated by the ice storm. Some of the Grade 7/8s were kind enough to help Mr. Perrie put a load on his truck. With the successful production of The Secret Garden wrapped up, the final production in the first season at The Waterloo Stage Theatre is in its final stages of rehearsal — the musical comedy What About Luv? What About Luv? is so different from our first three musicals," describes General Manager Steve Roth. "It is a wacky, almost slap- stick comedy centering around a love triangle with the whole show taking place on a bridge in New York City. The best way to describe this show is pure entertainment." When the curtain rises, join Harry (played by Kitchener native Christopher Wilson), who's just about to throw himself off a bridge. His old classmate Milt Manville (played by Cambridge resident Wayne McAulay) comes along and convinces him that he mustn't — especially because Milt wants to foist on him wife Ellen (played by veteran Guelph entertainer Kathryn Elton), whom he no longer loves. A year later, however, Milt decides he does love Ellen, and Milt and Ellen, who also wants a reconciliation, try to convince Harry -to throw himself off the bridge...that's when the fun begins! Roth is thrilled to have veteran director and the artistic director of The Lighthouse Festival in Port Dover, Robert More, direct this comedy at the Waterloo Stage. More might be known better to local audiences as the creator and author of the award winning musical Dads which was presented at the Drayton Festival a few years ago. He was a member of the Stratford Festival for three seasons, and has performed as an actor in theatres across the country.
