Although it may not be the
Stratford Shakespearean
Festival or the O'Keefe
Centre in Toronto, the Blyth
Summer FeStival and the
Huron Country Playhouse
have given the people of the
area a summer • of en-
tertaining and excellent live
theatre.
However, not only have
local people appreciated the
talents of the young actors
and the variety of plays, but
theatre enthusiasts have
come from miles away to
catch performances. Both
theatres have received
publicity from some of
Canada's toughest critics and
large newspapers in Toronto
and London.
Far the Blyth Festival, this
has been the second summer
for performances. Under the
direction of James Roy, a
native of Clinton, the.
playhouse showed six dif-
ferent plays this year, two
more than last, and had some
31 performances, which is
twice as many as 1975.
The plays kept the line of
rustic, patchwork comedies
of special significance for
Western Ontario residents
and some 6,000 people at-
tended the performances,
with many of them sell-outs.
The most popular play,
"Mostly i ,Glover" ran for t s.
e+cenidikt ' bee
seen by 4,700 people in the last
two summers.
According to Keith
Roulston, president Cf the
Blyth Centre for the Arts, the
festival has won the respect
of theatre circles across the
country. The CBC is now
considering two of the plays,
"Mostly in Clover's as
possible television specials.
Not only did all efforts go
into the plays by the many
people involved, but the Blyth
Hall blossomed as a 405 spat
theatre. Earlier in the year,
some $6.000 in renovations
and repairs were made to the
hall, which previously had
been left abandoned and
almost condemned.
Although the festival bas
been completed for the
summer and actors have
returned to their theatres in
the city, plans are already
underway for next year's
performances and the
summer troupe are all
looking forward to another
summer in Blyth.
The Huron Country
Playhouse is now a well
established and recognized
theatre in Stephen Township
near Grand Bend. It, like the
Blyth Festival, keeps its
rustic appeal with its
playhouse known as the
"Great Barn."
The playhouse was built in
1975 from four dismantled
barns in the area and timbers
from British Columbia. The
playhouse, which saw its fifth
season this summer, at-
tracted some 30,000 people to
performances and also to see
the "Great Barn" which any
farmer would be more than
pleased to have:
While Blyth kept to their
country styled plays, the
Country Playhouse per-
formed a variety of gay
musicals and movie scripts.
Their most popular play.
"Anne of Green Gables" was
seen by at least 5,000 people
at the playhouse and during
their 11 city tour.
Although the playhouse has
no regular summer troupe,
actors ,and actresses carne
and went to Grand Bend for
the performances. The
company was kept especially
busy with only one week
rehearsal and the One to two
-week performance period.
The box office was also kept
busy -selling tickets to the 480
seat theatre for eight dif-
ferent plays.
After a bustling summer,
the Country Playhouse has
come to. a close for a well
deserved rest but it won't be
long until reheartals start.
costumes will be made,
scripts will be prepared, and
seats will once more be filled
with hundreds of applauding
people who now find great
enjoyment in live theatre.
Perhaps we do live in a
rural area, without the
glamour and entertainment
that can be found in larger
centres, but what we have. in
our live theatre is as good and
as professional as any major
theatre in Canada and is
recognized as such.
Not only are the playhouses
recognized, but Grand Bend
and Blyth have finally made
the map to many people, who
had never heard of or seen a
small community before.
