Monday,
...And Perhaps a Play presents a play Help protect the environment
Reduce, reuse and recycle
The theatre company ...And Per
haps a Play is ready to kick off
their second season with the Norm
Foster play Opening Night.
A play within a play, Opening
Night tells of the trials for a theatre
company when everything goes
horribly wrong on opening night.
The comedic play which falls
apart at the seams is a farm story,
says stage manager Cappy Onn.
There is an old actor who has
periodic breakdowns, an aspiring
actor waiter, a man who has never
been to the theatre and his wife
who thinks herself a great theatre
person thought she has only attend
ed once and a couple who deals
with their relationship and comes
out on top as the show progresses.
...And Perhaps a Play welcomes
some new members to the company
including Nathan Swartz, Curtis
deBoer and Rick Jongejan of Clin
ton and Sara Gedcke of Wingham.
Much of the core crew from last
year has returned including Blyth
natives Joanne Josling as
treasurer/fundraiser, Cappy Onn as
stage manager, Zoey Onn as an
actor, Ross Clark in lighting and
Jeremy Arkell in sound. Jay
Sanders is the director with brother
Robin as the technical director.

Plant trees for 2000
Plant trees for a better
millennium.
That’s the message that the
Ausable Bayfield Conservation
Authority is sending out to protect
and enhance local environment for
future generations.
Planting trees is still an easy and
economical way of improving the
air, the local water quality and
reducing global warming.
The authority is still encouraging
landowners to plant trees to
connect important linkages
between woodlots. Tree rows
should be planted along all
waterways to reduce soil erosion
and improve water quality.
The Huron Stewardship Council
(HSC) has funding available for
tree planting projects that create
wildlife corridors in Huron County.
For further information about the
HSC contact Steve Bowers at (519)
482-3428.
