( Shelley McPhee photo) Plans for 1984 Playhouse underway The 1983 Summer Season has not yet drawn to a close, but the Huron Country Playhouse staff is already beginning preparations for 1984. A new, expanded playbill is being planned for the HCP Main Stage. Instead of five shows, the 1984 season will consist of six shows, each running for two weeks. Under consideration and subject to availability are the following shows: A Thou- sand Clowns, Bedroom Farce, Noises Off (all com- edies), Dracula, Sleuth, Murder in Mind (all mystery -thrillers), Children of a Lesser God, The Gin Game ( Dramas), Ain't Misbehavin', They're Play- ing Our Song, Snoopy! ! !, Bil- ly Bishop Goes to War, Put - tin' on the Ritz, and West Side Story (musicals) . From now until December 1, 1983, subscriptions for all six Main Stage shows will be on sale for $44.00. In actuali- ty, this new price is a decrease from prices for the current 1983 season as in- dividual shows in 1983 cost I, for subscribers whereas 1984 subscribers will pay $7.33 per show if and only if they subscribe before December 1. After December 1, prices will increase. Youth subscriptions (18 years and under) are also on sale for $27.50. Current plans for the Main Stage season should be finalized soon, and both HCP Artistic Director Ron Ulrich and HCP General Manager Heather Redick Tomorrow Box a hit In 1981 when the Blyth Summer Festival produced The Tomorrow Box, it was sold out for almost its entire run. This year it is back by popular demand, again under the direction of the ar- tistic director of the festival, Janet Amos, and again star- ring Anne Anglin and Dean Hawes as Maureen and Jack Cooper, the Ontario farm couple who have been mar- ried 40 years. Some of the reasons for the success of The Tomorrow Box are obvious. The play is a lively comedy set in rural Ontario with characters like so many people in the area. In the play, Jack Cooper sells the family farm to his son and daughter-in-law, Joe and Lisa. Jack is planning to surprise Maureen by buying a condominium for their retirement in Florida, but when Maureen finds out she is not at all thrilled. She stands up against her hus- band. Meanwhile Joe and Lisa are anxious to move from their cramped trailer into the large farm house. As the comedy progresses, two generations of Coopers have to answer questions about the value of a wife's work on the farm, and the demands of farm, career, home and children. The answers come to the Coopers with a lot of laughs, a sprinkling of romance and of course a few tears. The Tomorrow Box is writ- ten by Anne Chislett, one of the founders of the Blyth Summer Festival and the wife of former artistic direc- tor James Roy. Anne's play Quiet in the Land, commis- sioned for the Blyth Summer Festival in 1981, went on to win the Chalmers Award for the best play produced in Toronto in 1982. The Tomorrow Box opens on August 23 at the Blyth Summer Festival and will run until September 14. There are still plenty of good tickets available at the box office by calling 523-9300 or by writing the Blyth Sum- mer Festival at Box 10, Blyth, NOM 1H0. hope' to announce the final selection this fall.
