BLYTH - 1989 marks the 15th
year for the Blyth Festival and since
its birth 55 new plays have been
performed here, 43 of them pre-
mieres. "Launching new plays is al-
ways a gamble", says Katherine
Kaszas,' Artistic Director of the
Blyth Festival. "It's exciting watch-
ing them grow here in Blyth and
seeing their life beyond Huron
County as theatres across Canada
pick them up for production."
The Ontario Arts Council recent-
ly announced that one of the ten
finalists for the 1988 Floyd S
Chalmers Canadian Play Awards in-
cluded Girls in the Gang by Ray-
mond Storey and John Roby which
premiered at the Blyth Festival in
1987. The award finalists will be
announced on January 30th at a spe-
cial reception in Toronto..In 1983,
the Blyth Premiere of Quiet In the
Land by Anne Chislett won this
prestigious award.
The Mail Order Bride by Robert
Clinton will be produced in March
in Winnipeg at Prairie Theatre Ex-
change. Ron Gabriel (star of Luci-
en) directs and Kevin Bundy (Bor-
dertown Cafc) is featured in the role
of Russell, thc brash young pilot.

Colleen Curran's newest play, Sa-
cred Hearts which was part of the
1987 New Play Development pro-
gram at Blyth, made its stage &hut
at Alberta Theatre Projects this
month in Edmonton. This warm
and witty story centres on Bridget
Fitzpatrick, who experiences a mir-
acle. But is this wondrous'cvent a
true encounter with the supernatural
or a desperate attempt to cope with
her complicated past? Sacred Hearts
prove s a provocative probing of our
world and the meaning of Faith in
our time. Curran's premieres and
previous hits at the Blyth Festival
have included: Cake -Walk, Moose
Coupty, Miss Balmoral of the Bay-
view and Dinslcy the Soap: Not the
Street (1988 Youth Workshop pre-
