Playhouse will go on tour with 'On Golden Pond' play Heather Redick, general manager of Huron Country Playhouse, announced today that the Playhouse production of "On Golden Pond" will be sent out on a short Ontario tour in January 1984. Mrs. Redick commented, "We were so delighted when Ron Ulrich included "On Golden Pond" in his first season as artistic director; that we decided to send it on tour after it finishes at he Playhouse. "Unfortunately,, most places that book theatre had already selected productions ' for the fall of 1983 but many wanted a warm and inspira- tional drama to pickup their. winter seasons. As a result, we decided to send "On Golden Pond" out in January 1984. We arrived at my sister's home in Nassau suffering the effects of nervous strain. What had caused our tension? Was it the work -a -day world we had left behind? Or the fatigue of travel - that Tong flight from Toronto to Miami, then the change of planes and the flight to Nassau? No - it was just the drive from the airport with my sister at the wheal of her car. Her driving habits have cer- tainly not mellowed in the past year. In fact, now that she has another year's ex- perience in Nassau traffic, I think her driving skills have deteriorated. Well, I will admit that some of the problems are created by the Nassau traffic itself. You see, they still have enough British influence to drive on the left hand side of the road. But they are driving mostly American cars with the steering wheel on the left. Add to that the fact that the roads are narrow, twisting and full of potholes and you have the makings for a real joy ride. None of these hazards slow down my sister - she passes any traffic in her way, on blind curves or other- wise, whether or not she can see anything from her seat on the outside left edge of the car. And now that the car has a few more scratches and dents, she is even more carefree. But despite the hair-raising car rides, we soon relaxed and enjoyed our holiday in the Bahamas. in fact, after a few days, i even managed to take the wheel of the car and get us into downtown Nassau safely. Having relatives in the Bahamas is certainly an asset when winter vacation time rolls around. This the second time we have visited my sister. Judy. her husband, An- dy, and their children Mark and Lydia. Andy is with the American Foreign Service and posted in Nassau as the Charge d'Affaires. For the past two years he has been looking after the American Embassy in Nassau, waiting "On Golden Pond" will open the summer season at Huron Country Playhouse on June 21. After a two-week run, the setsand costumes will be Larefully packed away for six months, until brush -up rehearsals for the tour begin. To date, confirmed book- ings have been received from such diverse centres as the University of Waterloo, the Timmins Arts Council, the Algonquin Arts Council (Ban- croft), the Trent Valley Per- forming Arts Council (Camp- bellford) and the Elliott Lake Entertainment Series. Mrs. Redick added, "We want to do a very limited tour the first time out so we can learn the problems to be en- countered. Touring on this scale is a brand-new venture Mary's musings By Mary Alderson for an Ambassador to be assigned. The Ambassador is arriving this month, and we're hoping that doesn't mean that Andy will be mov- ing on. Just what does a Charge do? Well, we're not sure ex- actly what he does all day in the office - except that he's very busy - but after office hours, it seems as if the Charge and his wife are of- ficial social conveners. There wasn't an evening go by when they didn't have a reception or cocktail party or dinner to attend. Unfortunately, we missed the party of the year, by just one night. We arrived the morning after the HMS Invin- cible was in port. -Whenever a new ship arrives in port the who's who of Nassau is in- vited on board fora reception. Only in the case of the Invin- cible it was the people of Nassau coming to meet who's who on board. You see, the in- vinci4le is home to His Royal Highness Prince Andrew. Judy and Andy had been in- vited on board and met An- drew! Atld if we had just been there a day earlier, we could have tagged along! Talk about poor timing. . The Invincible herself is in- teresting enough she saw ac- tion in the Falklands and now colourful posters are available marking her ex- ploits.'One of the British of- ficers was good enough to send a poster home for my nephew Mark, which was im- mediately put on his bedroom wall. While we did miss the par- ty on the Invincible, we were invited on hoard the HMS Gurkha for cocktails. We were told that it was as in- teresting a ship as the Invin- cible, but unfortunately, there was no royalty on board. Even the Nassau press had great fun with Prince Andrew reporting every detail of a walk on the beach he took with a hotel desk clerk. The excited girl told the reporters everything - that she and An- drew "embraced" - even with the body guards watching! COMPUTER OPERATORS — Operating a computer at Grand Bend Public School Friday were Todd Hayter and Jarett Kobe. T -A photo for the Playhouse which, if successful, will be continued in the future." Pick group for airport A Grand Bend Airport Com- mittee has been formed to organize the upgrading of the longest runway at the airport east of the village. Approval to enter into an agreement with owner John Twynstra was passed by Grand Bend council to organize a 20 -year lease. Committee organizer, Mac Dunlop (past president of the area Chamber of Commerce) said that Deputy -reeve, Hapold Green will represent the village on the committee. Others are aircraft finishing expert, Richard Bird, who has a business at the airport, Bob Wright (sport parachute club) and Ron Helm 'of Ex- perimental Aircraft in Exeter. The federal government an- nounced in the fall that funds - would be available to upgrade the runway so that it could be licenced and approved by Transportation Canada. The group feels that a total resurfacing of the strip would not be necessary. The biggest problems are cracks, holes and weeds. Building bigger day Sandcastle Day coordinator Laurie Mannell has announc- ed that the Sandcastle event which drew about 2,000 to the Grand Bend Beach Last year has expanded in concept for the coming August. It will be named the first Ontario Open Sandcastle Building Competition and will be held for two days, August 20 and 21. Mannell anticipates that 10,000 or more visitors will be in the village to watch the event. He plans To accom- modate 25 teams in five categories. The grand prize for the Ontario Cup will be $2,500.
