er Public School on November 25.
Musical drama at school
EXETER - The musical drama
Nightwatch will he performed at
Exeter Public School on Saturday,
November 25, beginning at 8:00
.p.m.
Actors from the Academy of Per-
forming Arts, a branch of Youth
With a Mission, will stage the mu-
sical drama.
Nightwatch, styled somewhere
between Broadway and pop, speaks
of God's love by telling the parable
of a girl's search for her lost identi-
ty.
The presentation unfolds the story
of a girl born into a large family
• while her father is off to war. Her
jealous siblings sell her, unnamed,
to a travelling carnival show. Al-
though there she is christened with
various nicknames, she decides to
risk her security and'hcad out to
search for her name.
At the end of her journey, she dis-
coversher real need is for the name
her father has for her. The story
reaches its climax when she is reu-
nited with her father, who has been
tirelessly searching for her.
Nightwatch emphasizes man's
need to find meaning in an exis-
tence that is meaningless without
God.
The music that is an integral part
of the performance is producedon
three synthesizers, an electric piano,
a bass, two guitars and rhythm
computers.
There is no admission charge. A
freewill offering will be accepted.
Bears benefit hospitals
TORONTO - Independent Own-
ers of Mr. Grocer, valu-mart, fresh -
mart, and Your Independent Grocer
stores across Ontario have banded
together to sell toy bears to benefit
three Ontario Children's hospitals
in Toronto, London; and Ottawa.
These retailers hope their shop-
pers will "experience that special
feeling" of helping hospitalized
children across Ontario by buying
the 13 -inch plush bears.
It is expected that over $20,000 -
will be raised from the sale of plush
bears in these stores between No-
vember 13 and December 31, 1989
as the participating grocery store
owners will donate $1 of the
S16.99 purchase price from the sale
of each bear to the Sick Children's
Hospital serving their community.
The four bears which were
named in a contest run at Toronto's
Sick Children's Hospital were
Griffen Grizzly, Pooky Panda, Po-
lar Pete, and Kiki Koala.
