News Blyth season features work of area playwrights By Tim Cumming Signal -Star Editor The new Blyth Festival theatrical season, which is yet to be officially unveiled, should have something for just about everybody. There is a new comedy, a hit thriller from the festival s early days, a returning play as well as new Canadian plays that Blyth has had a key role in developing. The Blyth Festival has been directly involved in the development of four of the Live plays being staged next year. The new season will also feature work by area playwrights including Blyth s Keith Roulston, Stratford s Lee MacDougall and London s Denyse Gervais Regan. Artistic Director Eric Coates said this past year s successful season featured plays from throughout Canada while next season has plays with a distinctly local or regional history. This year is a completely new direction with plays born right here in Blyth and surrounding area, he said in an interview in Blyth. We re bringing back a really successful show based in Manitoba but the four other plays we re doing (come from) Blyth, Stratford and London. I see it as a really strong commitment to the roots of this place, Coates said. We re supporting playwrights who live in the area, know the area intimately and speak directly to our audience. The 2005 season will open with a comedy, by Stratford playwright Lee MacDougall, called The Ginkgo Tree. Although a version of this play was performed in Vancouver, it had been workshopped in Blyth and the new script will receive its premi re this year following workshopping by the Blyth Festival this past year. The season will also have the professional premi re of The Thirteenth One, by Denyse Gervais Regan. This is a really, really exciting play, said Coates. The play is based on a true story from the playwright s personal family history. The play s central dilemma not only provides a compelling story born of the human experience but one that has a lot to say about the decisions people in an agricultural area are forced to make in the current climate of economic hardship. What happens when a young mother of 12 children, in a poor farm family during hard times, finds out she is pregnant again? What happens when a kind, wealthy couple moves in next door and offers to adopt the baby which is soon to be horn? More so than any script 1 ve ever read you know almost immediately why this story is compelling and why it s being told, Coates said. Are you going to keep the child or not? The Blyth Festival will also be presenting the world premi re of the play Powers and Gloria, by popular Blyth playwright Keith Roulston, who has written at least six plays for the festival and co - wrote another. Powers and Gloria was commissioned by the Blyth Festival. Like The Thirteenth One, this is a play that combines a powerful human story with significant comment about the dilemmas facing rural Ontario. The play has an important message but it play also has elements of comedy. Coates speaks with a great deal of excitement about this new play and says it has great potential to have life beyond Blyth and become a summer -theatre classic. 1 see real potential for this to become a standard play in summer theatre around Canada, he said. Despite its potential for commercial success, Coates said it s also a powerful piece of theatrical work. It s got a sophistication to it that s often lacking in plays with commercial appeal ... it s got enormous heart. Coates describes it as a play that s very funny yet speaks to the heart. It s about the human condition, of our ability to care for each other despite all sorts of obstacles in the way, he said.

Colley now writes for television and cinema in Los Angeles and Midnight has been performed in 24 countries. Before Hollywood, however, the play was originally written in a farm house just outside of Blyth. It was a big event early in the history of this theatre, Coates said. It brought a lot of people into the theatre for the first time. The theatre will also be bringing back Spirit of the Narrows, which features Cappy Onn. I think it s an extraordinary piece, Coates said. Coates, who has been with the theatre for more than a decade, is entering his third year as Artistic Director. He said he saw Cappy Onn act with the theatre as a child and now gets to see her make an important turn in the dual role of actor - musician in the significant play about M tis musical culture. She s really grabbed the gold with this One, Coates said. The Blyth Festival season opens on June 30 and runs until Sept. 10. There are significant savings for those who purchase season s tickets before Christmas, said Coates, who said they are the best deal going in professional theatre.
