Blyth Festival prepares for 100th premiere
The Blyth Festival will produce its
100th world premiere next summer,
says artistic director Eric Coates.
"What's more, the playbill will fea-
ture new work exclusively. Four new
plays, all commissioned and devel-
oped by the Blyth Festival," he says
in a recent press release.
The plays will be produced with
assistance of the Laidlaw
Foundation, the Ontario Arts
Council, the Canada Council for the
Arts as well as Festival sponsors
and members.
Former Seaforth playwright Dave
Scott's new play about Stompin'
Tom Connors is one of the four pre-
mieres.
The Ballad of Stompin' Tom will
provide a frank look at hardship
along the road to fame through
music and story.
"Just as the Blyth Festival defines
grassroots Canadian theatre, so
does Stompin' Tom Connors personi-
fy the Canadian troubadour. Both
are gritty in their own ways and
share a passion for celebrating the
stories of backbreaking labour on
Canada's backroads," says the press
release.
The play opens the Blyth Festival
season on June 29.
Sean Dixon's new play, Lost Heir,
takes its name from an obscure card
game, popular to the Huron County
area.
And Dixon borrows his setting
from a familiar template - a sum-
mer theatre festival in a small
Ontario town where the artists and
the locals enjoy a peaceful coexis-
tence until the balance is unsettled.
Intrigued by an invitation to
dance on stage, a young Mennonite
girl joins the company, triggering a
series of unexpected developments
when a petty thief falls in love with
her.
Fresh from his successful play
Powers and Gloria, Another
Season's Harvest is the sequel to
the popular Another Season's
Promise (1986).
This new play tackles the latest
challenge in the saga of Canadian
farming. Ripe with drama and wit,
the script puts a spirited human
face on the crisis that continues to
hound the families that have
worked the land for generations.
Now consigned to the memories of
those who trudged, skipped and
sleighed to class across miles and
years, Schoolhouse by Leanna
Brodie is a magical trip back to a
time that seemed simpler, but was
clearly every bit as complex and
potent as life is today.
The year is 1937 and Miss Linton,
18 and on her own, is the new
teacher in a schoolhouse full of
eager youngsters and underachiev-
ing "big boys" alike.
The arrival of Ewart, a training
school boy, creates a dilemma for
the young teacher. Should she bow
to local pressure and allow the for-
mer delinquent to be run out of
town or should she heed her
instincts and foster his remarkable
creativity?
Brodie has crafted a loving, yet
bittersweet look at the life of the old
time school teacher and her charges.

Good attendance
for Remembrance
Day service
Rev. John's sermon at Cavan
United Church was titled
"Ownership is God's. Faithful
Management is Ours."
Greeters and collectors were Ross
and Joyce Ribey.
There was a good attendance at
the Remembrance Day service. The
weather was great for the time of
year and there was an excellent
number of school children present.

vice at Huronlea, Brussels on
Sunday afternoon.
