Photo by Frank Phillips 114 at 44 The Touching - Tracey Bunka as Anne Shirley and Terry Doyle as Matthew Cuthbert in the Huron Country Playhouse's Anne of Green Gables. Anne of Green Gables a credit to Playhouse !s season By Adrian Harte GRAND BEND - Right from the opening number, you can tell that Anne of Green Gables is the flagship of the Huron Country Playhouse season. The clarity and pace of that opening number makes it obvious this musical avoids many of the problems that featured in the season's opener, The Wizard of Oz. Anne of Green Gables is, of course, a tale close to most Canadians' hearts. It is the tale of a young girl brought from a Nova Scotia or- phanage to a Prince Edward Island farm. Anne Shirley's overworked imagination is the result of her retreat from the harshness reality of her own life. Actually, this is one of the situations where a musical has an advantage over straight drama: Anne's creative imagination really comes through in this production. Anne also has a sense for the dramatic. "The matron at the orphanage said God was the one who made my hair red, and I've never cared for him since," she claims. • Anne is played by Tracey Bunka, who dyed her hair red for the Playhouse production. She carries the role well, coming across as the chatterbox who charms everybody, especially the lovable Matthew (Terry Doyle). And yes, even in the sunshine of Avonlea there is room for a little social commentary. Questions about misplaced charity abound. The Local ladies auxiliary spends more time gossiping than anything else, and even their causes are highly suspect: chosen more for show than substance. Even the costumes reinforce this subtext. Anne's orphanage -brown dress contrasts with the other girls' brightly coloured attire. Anne wants desperately to conform, aware that her very appearance keeps her in the role of a disadvantaged orphan. "Wouldn't you rather look ridiculous with everybody else, rather than plain and simple all by yourself?" she asks Marilla (Barbara Wheeldon). Everything about Anne of Green Gables is well done, right from the choreography of the Sunday School picnic races, to the use of a real horse on stage and the live orchestra accompaniment. The large cast doesn't make the production look like hard work. They appear to be having as much fun as the audience. The Playhouse like to point out that the last time Anne was per- formed in Grand Bend was 1976 when it broke all box office records. With the season extended this year to September 7, it wouldn't be sur- prising to see it do just as well or better. Lucan Parkview seniors LUCAN - The residents of Lions Club Parkview Place enjoyed a bar- becue at their monthly social last Monday. It was sponsored by Jack and Shirley Ryan as a treat for the residents. Jack, assisted by Gord Clubb, manned the barbecues while Shirley and Marlene McFalls hand- ed out the goodies. Following the eats the residents presented the Ryan's with a gift as they are leav- ing us at the end of August. We certainly will miss Shirley's smiling face and Jack's ready laugh. The evening was passed quickly by the toe -tapping music of the II- derton Entertainers.
