Incoming Artistic Director, Eric Coates and his predecessor. Anne Chislett have been working on the season programming for several. months. The final slate of plays includes musicals, comedies, `kitchen sink' drama, and a remount of last year's sold out hit, Bamboozled by Ted Johns. Opening the season on June 26 is The Perilous Pirate's Daughter by Anne Chislett and David Archibald. This full scale musical is inspired by the life of Bill Johnston, a real-life Canadian pirate who plied the lower Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence Riy_er during the War of 1812 and the A137 rebellion. Archibald is well known for his catalogue of compositions on a wide variety of Great Lakes LegThids.

It begins with student previews on June 16 and runs until Aug. 9. The Canadian classic is David French's Leaving Home which runs July 3 - Aug. 9. This family drama put French on the Canadian theatre map in 1972. It triggered a cycle of plays about the Mercers, a family of Newfoundlanders who emigrated to Toronto to find a better life. Equally funny and heartbreaking, French's examination of this fami- ly's struggle continues to resonate across the country. Paul Thompson teams up with members of The Outdoor Donnellys collective, Kelly McIntosh and Jonathan Garfinkle to create Hippie. Aptly titled, this play builds on the experience of the hippies who moved to the Huron County country- side in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Just as importantly, it focuses on the bewildered response of their new neighbours. Many activities have taken place over the year.

Three more world premieres is something of which we can be very proud.
