Saturday's performance • took place amidst rain showers but it didn't dampen the enthusi- asm of the actors or audience. Roger Morrison provided a running commentary on the route and the histo- ry of the farms and railroad in his -role as the a "Conductor". The "rail route" passed through the Mathers and Morrison properties making its way up onto the old Listowel to Kincardine' railway bed. A distraught father, Andrew Hill (Charles Clarke), stops the train ask- ing for help to find his daughter, Ivy (Lynn Shepherd - Adamson), who disappeared after doing her chores for several days. Further along, Allan Wall (Donald Andrew), flags down the train, to hitch a ride up to the Wayside Inn to meet his girl to do some wedding planning. The audience and Allan are taken by surprise when they arrive at the Inn to find Ivy ready with a Minister (Murray Yungblut) and a wedding just wait- ing for the groom. Allan is reluctantly proceeding with the wedding when his future father -in- law arrives to object. Some quick think- ing king and creative comments from Ivy win her father's consent. And while the groom may have felt "like a steer in a loading chute" at the start of the process, he comes around by the final moments of the play. As the play ends Andrew Hill leaves feeling bereft and pursued by the Inn _Keeper (Jackie - DeJong) who thinks this might be a good time to console him. Following the play the audience had an • opportunity to listen .to:' Jacob Dickie play the fid- dle and enjoy a chance to visit with tie actors and have light refreshments. On the return trip - the conductor told of train derailments and farm weddings that had taken place along the route. Blair Morrison was the engineer steering the tractor and wagons along the route.. Tony McQuail was the tour guide and Vicky Morrison was the assistant. Inn Keeper. The play was written by Harold Menary and Gail Vander . Hoek was: the producer.
