Hundreds of limes every (lay we
communicate with someone. Each of
us is an individual and sees a situa-
tion in a unique way based on our dif-
ferent experiences.
Family members may not ap-
preciate being told what to do. "You
should spend less time at the'coffee
shop", or "Make sure you have those
parts hack by 9 o'clock" may actual-
ly hinder that person's motivation to
contribute.
"Don't you know better" or
"weren't you listening" messages
communicate blame, criticism and
judgement. When we feel embarrass-
ed, unloved or inadequate our self-*
esteem is lowered and our work and
family relationships suffer.
Mostly we give messages of
criticism only to our family members.
We refrain from ordering, preaching,
or putting down our friends and
neighbors when we talk with them.
Family members deserve respect
and consideration too. That same
respect and consideration for each
other can make living and working
together as a family easier and more
enjoyable.

smaller theatre company like the
Blyth Festival this simply isn't
possible.
Luckily for the Festival, this sum-
mer's Associate Artistic Director,
TerryTweed,is also an accomplished
act ,d only four hours to
prepa, .tie role of Ann Easby in
BUSH l .,.r: - and there was lots to
do. The costume had to be altered
slightly, and a pair of shoes had to be
dyed the right colour. At 12:00, only
two hours before curtain time, Terry
was taken through the scenes and
shown where she should be, and
when.
'It's an actor's nightmare to step
out on stage unprepared' said Terry
'but I simply didn't have time to
panic. The company all rallied round
in an absolutely marvellous way, they
were tremendously supportive.
Thank goodness it's a small part; I
was able to learn the lines for the first
act beforecurtain time, and then
learned the second act during the
intermission!'
Terry went on stage without a
script at all - a remarkable feat con-
sidering the short preparation time.
'I'm glad it was a performance of
BUSH FIRE and not GIRLS IN THE
GANG - I can't sing a note! And I
would have ,had to learn all that
choreography too,' laughed Terry.
1n 1979, Seana McKenna made her
professional debut at the Blyth
Festival with a bang - literally! Dur-
ing the opening night of THIS
FOREIGN LAND she made a wrong
turn on stage during a blackout, fell
several feet onto the concrete fjoor of
the orchestra pit and was rushed to
hospital. There was no-one to replace
her, the play being an improvised col-
lective without a script. One perfor-
mance had to 6e cancelled - but Seana
was -back to work within four days,
stitches in her head.
Everything is now back to normal
at the Blyth Festival. This may be the
13th season, but so far things have
gone remarkably smoothly (touch
wood, a rabbit's foot and anything
else that might be handy).
