Workshop planned for. five Blyth Festival plays
BLYTH - Five new plays will re-
ceive a workshop at the Blyth Fes-
tival in August. Two of the sea-
son's selections, The Cookie War
by Kathleen McDonnell and The
Mail -Order Bride by Robert Clinton
-6nderwent the workshop experience
uring last year's winter writer's
workshops. Because the Blyth Fes-
tival has always maintained a
strong rapport with the community,
it is fitting that many of the sum-
mer and winter workshop sessions
conclude with a public reading of
the plays. The five new scripts
workshopped at the Blyth Festival
in August involve many of the
company members as actors, direc-
tors and stage managers.
"For 14 years now, the Blyth
Festival has focused its efforts on
encouraging, fostering and develop-
ing new Canadian plays", says
Katherine Kaszas, Artistic Director
of the Blyth Festival. "The work-
shops offer playwrights an opportu-
nity to try out their work with pro-
fessional actors and directors in
order to create the best 'writing pos-
sible. The goal is to improve the
play - perhaps alter the structure or
length of a scene, or define the
themes in the play, or develop more
spirited characters. Whatever the
need, the workshop tries to provide
a solution."
"For me, being a participant in a
workshop is like bcing an archi-
tect's assistant", says Ron Gabriel,
Associate Artistic Director and star
of Lucien this season: "The archi-
tect (playwright) arrives having de-
signed this wonderful mansion, and
over the next few days, if you're
lucky, you feel as if you've helped
to paint a few walls, hang up some
curtains, re -model the kitchen,

maybe even build a porch on the

ends, you've helped to make the
house much more habitable and at-
tractive and people can't wait to buy
it!"
Workshops in August include Di-
nosaurs by Bryan. Wade, the Play-
wright -In -Residence this season at
the Blyth Festival. With direction
by Ron Gabriel and 'actors Carol
Sinclair, Nancy Roberts, Andrew

Plan gourmet dinner
BLYTH - The Blyth Festival's
annual Gourmet Dinner will be held
on Saturday, August 13th at 6 p.m.
at the Blyth Community Centre.
The food for this delicious capital
fund-raising event is prepared and
served by members of the theatre's
Board of Directors.
' "After fourteen seasons, the thea-
tre has had to face the problems re-
sulting directly from its success"
say Joel Harris, General Manager of
the Blyth Festival. "Many of our
fundraising activities this season
such as the Gourmet Dinner are de-
signed to help raise the $1.8 mil-
lion needed for our capital expan-
sion project. If we want this
theatre to continue, with its excel-
lent standard of production, its re-
markable record of discovering and
presenting new Canadian plays
which can later flourish across the
country, its commitment to work-
shops and the children's and young
people's programmes, we have to
renovate and increase the available
space."
Included on the menu for the din-
ner are the following gourmet de-
lights: fresh tomato filled with
hot antipasto; delectable starters
such as chicken liver pate, cucum-
ber and cream cheese mousse; roast
hip of beef, and cold stuffed white-
fish with special sauces; and many,
many more mouth-watering treats.
The famous fresh baked fruit pies
and rolls are provided by the
Friends of Blyth. Organizers of
this year's event is Festival Secre-
tary Gayle Gundy, ably assisted by
Carol Irwin and other members of -
the Board and Friends of Blyth.
Tickets for this special event arc
$19 per person and are available
from the Blyth Festival Box Office
at 523-9300/9225.
