The play may have the same story line, but the director, actors and ac- tresses are different, and for the most part, the costumes are also different. For Kerry Hackett, who is the Blyth Festival's resident costume designer, Cake Walk has provided a challenge. In total, Ms. Hackett designed eight costumes for the play. "There are some costumes you can't change. A baseball uniform is a baseball uniform and scout leaders have to look like scout leaders," explained Ms. Hackett. Other costumes she has designed for Cake Walk include a tennis outfit, clothing for an archeologist,, a chiffon dress for the bride's mother and an Indian cotton dress. She has also had the challenge of making a nun not look like a nun. However, the biggest challenge of all has been the wedding dress for spoiled, self- centred Tiffany. "Everything in the show is a gag, so everything is done too much," said Ms. Hackett. "The idea for ,the wedding gown was to start off with the basic gown and start adding until there was too much to hold." The wedding gown has taken the most time and she estimates the finished product will be the result of 80 hours work. For the dress Ms. Hackett has used a wide variety of material. Some of the fabrics are satin, netting, lace appliques, nylon and polyester. Ms. Hackett became a costume designer by accident. She initially wanted to be an ac- tress but found the competition and lifestyle not to her liking. She went to the University of Victoria where she was studying art and more technical aspects. Later she ran the costume department there. The 1986 production of Cake Walk will definitely be different from the 1984 play, and Ms. Hackett feels all the changes will "go over well." Coming Events LADIES TUESDAY AFTERNOON BOWLING LEAGUE will begin on September 9 at 1:30.

Here she puts some finishing touches on the dress that will be worn by Tiffany (Paulina Gillis) in the 1986 production of Cake Walk. (Anne Narejko photo) Blyth Festival is having a successful season "Sorry, we have mitickets left for that performance." That's becoming a familiar refrain at the Blyth Festival Box Office these days as tickets are selling quickly. "This is normal for the height of the holiday season}," said General Manager, Brenda Doner. "But people shouldn't get discourag- ed - we do still have tickets for many performances." GONE TO GLORY has proved the most popular play to date, with numerous perfor- mances sold out even before the play open- ed! ANOTHER SEASON'S PROMISE has also picked up dramatically (excuse the pour). There are still a few tickets left'for GLORY on August 18 and 19, and for PRO- MISE on August 16 (matinee) ; there are also rush tickets available prior to every performance. Tickets for DRIFT are available for the performances on August 14 and 21, and LILLY, ALTA., (described by the critics as 'spectacular', 'imaginative', 'fun'), has tickets for most performances. The final performance dates are August 21 for LILLY, August 22 for DRIFT, and August 23 for GLORY and PROMISE. CAKE -WALK, the return of the hilarious 1984 comedy, opens on August 26. It is sold out for the matinee performance on August 28, but excellent tickets remain for all other performances.
