Festival announces 2001 season
On Friday, Jan. 26 at The Livery in
Goderich, Silence will unveil Ruins,
the first radio single and video from
their forthcoming album, Saintless.
Doors open at 9 p.m. and special
guests,' Countermind, begins the
show at 9:30. Tickets are $6 at the
door. All ages.
Ruins will be released independ-
ently as a CD single in January,
accompanied by two other tracks that
will not appear on Saintless. Also
included on the single is a CD-ROM
portion that featured a band edit of
the Ruins video, exclusive behind-
the-scenes footage from the shoot,
photos, lyrics, global video request
information, and a game.
Ruins will be released to radio and
video networks throughout Canada
and the U.S. in January, and the CD
single will be available in the inde-
pendent section of record stores
across Canada, as well as from the
band's website.
A VIP and Media pre-show screen-
ing will be held at Joe Friday's in
Goderich from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. on
Jan. 26 by invitation only. Those
eager to attend should visit the
band's website daily for a chance to
win a copy of Ruins and an invitation
to the pre-show screening
(www.silence-band.com ).

Productions, Blyth) and Glen Teeple
(The Music Room, Sarnia).
Nathan Stewart (of Lucknow)
directed the video, which was shot at
two locations: F. E. Madill
Secondary School in Wingham (inte-
rior shots), and Goldie Mill, in
Guelph (exterior live performance
shots — on a very cold day in
November). Mark Hussey, of
Silence, created the CD-ROM.
Level (Deliver), the follow-up CD
single to Ruins, will be released in
February and follow a similar format
to Ruins, including a video. The
release of Saintless is on March 31.
The album will be supported up by
two additional CD singles and videos
in both April and May.
Bryan Pickett, of Goderich, came
aboard as Silence's manager in
October. Proud to be a part of the
team, one of his goals is to secure
foreign licensing agreements prior to
signing a major U.S. record label
contract. Silence will be touring
extensively in the spring and sum-
mer, focusing on Boston and New
York City.
Silence is performing at The
Embassy in London with The
Ashgrove and Tommyrot on
Saturday, Jan. 27.
Blyth Festival's 2001 season
begins with its most exciting venture
ever, The Outdoor Donnelly's.
Paul Thompson is set to mount a
production of the famous Donnelly
epic that moves the show (and the
audience) to several outdoor loca-
tions. The Outdoor Donnellys opens
June 15 and closes with a special
Canada Day performance on July 1.
Ted Johns stars in the main stage
opener as a rural master plumber
determined to win the hand of the
mayor's alluring widow against all
odds. The Passion of Narcisse
Mondoux, directed by Linda Moore
(Stolen Lives), plays from July 3 to
August 24.
Next, the Blyth Festival bursts into
song 'with -this year's Canadian clas-
sic Cruel Tears by Ken Mitchell and
Humphrey and the Dumptrucks. It's
a country-and-western opera as a
daring young truck driver woos his
boss's daughter only to find jealousy
and betrayal round the bend of a dan-
gerous road.
Critics described Cruel Tears as
"an astonishing theatrical event"
when it toured across Canada in
1970 and it will be equally fabulous
when Blyth's Associate Artistic
Director Eric Coates (When the
Reaper Calls and Drawer Boy)
revives this toe tappin', handker-
chief wringin' musical from July 12
to Sept. 2.
Gordon Pinsent, Canada's best-
known star of film and television, is
the author of Corner Green, a myste-
riously magical tale of a man haunt-
ed by a figure from Newfoundland
folklore. Only the truth about his
true love's sudden disappearance 50
years ago can free Garland Moyle
from the clutches of a nightmare per-
sonified - the vicious, but oh, so
delightfully witty, Hagge. Blyth's
Honorary Artist Diana Belshaw
(Anne, Thirteen Hands) directs the
professional premiere of Corner
Green, on stage from July 17 to Aug.
II.
McGillicuddy brings law and dis-
order to the stage in Keith
Roulston's rambunctious account of
the muddled career of a local cop as
he battles an arch criminal kid aptly
named Moriarty. Humourous,
heartfelt and insightful,
McGillicuddy piles up the evidence
on the foibles of follies of small
town life. Layne Coleman (The
Great School Crisis of '99) directs
this world premiere. McGillicuddy
runs from Aug. 8 to Sept. 15.
For the final show of 2001 season,
the Festival is announcing the return
of Norah, her sisters, Mum and the
hilarious Aunt Girlie in a brand new
play from London writer Norah
Harding. Her 1996 hit This Year,
Next Year left audiences begging for
more of this delightful true family
story. In Sometime, Never the war-
bride Norah returns home for
Christmas, somewhat less starry-
eyed about marriage and life in
Canada, and finds both of her sisters
with romantic woes of their own.
Blyth veteran Terry Tweed, who
directed the premiere of This Year
Next Year, returns to bring this
equally charming sequel to life from
Aug. 22 to Sept. 9.
