Actors rehearse in barn
for farm play at Blyth
Actors often complain that
their rehearsal halls are as
drafty as barns, but not
many have as much reason
as the cast of He Won't Come
In • From the Barn, which
runs August 25 to September
5 at the Blyth Summer
-Festival with the assistance
of Goderich Elevators Ltd.
The actors in He Won't Come
In From the Barn are pick-
ing up a • little local at-
mosphere (the source of the
atmosphere is not specified).
by rehearsing the. play in , a
barn not far from Blyth.
"I wanted the actors to ab-
sorb the essence of rural liv-
ing," director Paul Thomp-
son says. "We took a straw
vote and everyone agreed we
would hit the hay, so to
speak?'
Author and star performer
of the play, Ted Johns, sums
up the reason for the play:
"Anyone who's brave or
foolhardy enough to learn to
be a farmer these days
would be well off to do it on
the safety of a stage."
He Won't Come in From
the Barn is a revival of the
hit that played to sold -out
houses in Toronto and in a
two week run at Blyth.Sum-
mer Festival in 1977. The
show features Ted Johns as
both actor and writer in this
farcial treatment of the.
troubles of a modern age
farmer who retreats. to his
barn in protest. The same
hard-hitting and hilarious
satire • that characterized
Johns' The School Scandal
and St. Sam of the Nuke Pile
is turned on astronomical in-
terest rates, government
regulations, plummeting
returns on farm products
and rising supply prices.
The cast includes Johns
as the recalcitrant farmer
who takes up residence in his
barn, and Janet Amos, as his
wife. Ms. Amos is artistic
director of the Blyth Sum-
mer Festival and is the wife
of Mr. Johns in reality as
well as on stage. •
William -Dunlop, Graham
McPherson and Keith
Thomas fill out the cast.
The production is directed
by Paul Thompson who
directed the original produc-
tion. Sets are designed by
Bob Pearson and costumes
are ,designed by Kerry
Hackett. Lighting is provid-
ed by Louise Guinand.
Although some perfor-
mances are already sold out,
there are still plenty of good
seats available. He Won't
Come in From the Barn runs
every night except Sunday at
8:30 p.m. fronrAugust 25 to
September 5 with matinees
at 2 p.m. on September 3 and
5.. Seats may be reserved by
calling the Festival at (519)
523-9300, 523-9225, or in per-
son at the Festival box of-
fice.

YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE
During the next few months, we will be
studying a number of alternative plans for
electrical transmission in southwestern
Ontario. The study will look at the alternatives
from many points of view, including cost,
wise use of land and effects on the environ-
ment. The goal is to determine which
plan is the best choice, for all of us, and
then to submit a recommendation to
government.
After a plan is approved, further studies with
public participation and hearings will lead to
Let's talk r
the eventual construction of transmission lines.
Your questions, comments and input at
this early stage are important in helping us
make the best possible recommendation.
o help you learn more about the study we've
prepared a special information kit.
Please send for it today and be part of the .
study that will plan for future electrical trans-
mission in southwestern Ontario. You are �.. _
also invited to attend a "Study Information
Centre" to ask questions and make .•
suggestions first hand. Y trX•
