This is the first show to open Playhouse II, the newest addition to the Huron Country Playhouse enter- tainment complex. 18 Wheels has turned out to be a genuine Canadian suc- cess story. The country and western trucking musical started off in a small Toronto theatre and Pias subsequently been staged across the country. Why has this unpreten- tious musical become such a hit? When it first opened in Toronto. the Globe and Mail summed it up: "The title's 18 Wheels refer to the fiat - nosed giants that barrel along our highways, and the show is all about trucks, truckers, CB radios, country music and nearly every related area. But if that sounds a little out of your line, just forget it is about trucks. After the first five minutes, you won't care much why you came." That reaction to the show has been catching. People are simply fascinated by the world of truckers. John Gray ( who has since gone on to write both Billy Bishop Goes to War and Rock and Roll), shaped the show and wrote the songs. "I soaked up trucker lore," Gray explains. "I read magazine articles and tried to get an understanding of what it's like to be a trucker. Of course some aspects of the job are very boring and I left those things out of the show." What Gray did come up with was 16 songs for a show that covers the colourful side of the long-distance trucking world—the greasy spoon stops, the camaraderie off the road, the CB radio chat- ter, the stretches of endless highway, and the horror of a mammoth snowstorm. Altogether, 18 Wheels is a fast -paced, boisterous coun- try music show that travels across Canada with Duke and his CB radio, visits Sadie who dishes out grub at the fInllvwnnrl Grill near r Kenora, barrels down the highway with Lloyd and Mol- ly, and takes a lonely night ride with Jim. 18 Wheels has been suc- cessfully staged at both Theatre Passe Muraille and Tarragon Theatre in Toron- to, as well as in Vancouver and the Festival Lennoxville in Quebec. Now, Huron Country Playhouse is in- augurating Playhouse 11 with ;a foot -stomping, zesty and exhilarating show. Tickets are on sale at the HCP Box Office and at Theatre London ( London), Groombridge's (Sarnia), Wolder Travel (Strathroy), Ellison Travel (Exeter) and Oscars ( Goderich) . Ticket price is $6.50 per person. Blyth play makes you glad t® be alive As a child, Robbie O'Neill had St. Vitus dance, a spastic condition that is like a form of cerebral palsy. In 1981 when he decided to do a show about Leo Kennedy, a man born in the twenties who had cerebral palsy all his life, it was with a strong personal link. The show, Tighten the Traces -Haul in the Reins combines with Ted Johns' one man play, Naked on the North Shore under the title Maritime Faces at the Blyth Summer Festival. Robbie describes Leo as "feisty, a tremendously outgoing person with an in- triguing vocation", a man who decided early in life neither to treat himself nor be treated like an invalid. "The Lord never closes one door but he opens two others," says Leo. He became a peddler and walk- ed around Cape Breton for 25 years with his suitcases full of everything from can openers to watch straps. Leo was a striking in- dividual who affected people very strongly; everyone had his own imitation of Leo.

But the show was not a mockery and Leo was in such whole- hearted support that he gave Robbie a replica of his dory and his suitcases still packed from his days on the road. Tighten the Traces -Haul in the Reins reveals the humour, strength and courage that were part of Leo's life. The one-man one - act play, sometimes called The Leo Show, met with much success, in school, at the Mulgrave Road Theatre Co-op in Guysboroagh, Nova Scotia and on tour.

Robbie was' impressed with Janet's conscientiousness in travelling' the-' country look- ing for good new Canadian plays to bring back to her au- diences. The play has been record- ed by CBC TV for release this fall. After the season in Blyth, Robbie will be touring his show across Canada and to the National Arts Centre next spring. The play has met with critical acclaim everywhere. The Halifax Daily News called it "a brilliant piece of theatre that makes you feel good to be alive." • Although he still doesn't understand personally a lot of the problems that people with disabilities have, Rob- bie has learned a lot in the making and performing of the play. "It is an incredible thing," says Robbie, "to be able to project a character and his condition and to pro- voke thought." Maritime Faces plays at the Blyth Summer Festival from July 19 to August 19.
