Members of the Festival's creative team will be front and centre this year as honorary associate artist, Jerry Franken, takes to the Festival stage for the 16th year in Every Dream and as Sam Walton, founder of Wal- Mart in the outrageously funny Big Box. Also in Big Box, Blyth's assistant artistic director Eric Coates, whom audi- ences will remember from Barndance Live!, Booze Days in a Dry County and Yesteryear, takes on a comic turn as Canada's most inept pri- vate detective. Coates will also be the director of the comedy - thriller When the Reaper Calls. Newly appointed hon- orary artist, designer Shawn Kerwin, who first designed for Blyth in 1977 and last year gave audiences a visual treat with the stunning set and costumes for Thirteen Hands, will be back for her 17th show. Other Blyth favourites in starring roles this sea- son are Huron County's own Ted Johns in The Great School Crisis of '99, and the fabulous Diana Belshaw in Thai Summer. Terry Tweed has scored the funniest role as the grey-haired owner of a failed "mom and pop" store-, now turned Winnebago -driving -mad - bomber in Big Box. \Both Belshaw and Tweed made their first Blyth appearances 20 Six people join Grand Bend United Church years ago and the Silver directorial debut at Blyth Season couldn't shine as with her wonderful brightly without them. revival of The Tomorrow Someone who hasn't yet Box in 1996 and this reached 20 years old, year returns to direct but is a Blyth veteran Every Dream. nonethtless, is Erin The only director of Roulton, who has two this season who can roles in the '99 season. boast of a longer affilia- Kate Trotter made her tion with the Festival is professional debut at Blyth's founder, James Blyth in 1978 and has Roy, the director of Big since gone on to star on Box. stages all over Canada, Designers Pat Flood, as well as in film and John Ferguson and television.
