Playhouse
plans season
GRAND BEND - Huron Country
Playhouse won't tamper with the success it
enjoyed over the past season.
In announcing the 1987 play -bill at Satur-
day's annual meeting, artistic director
Steven Schipper said it would be a continua-
tion of what the Playhouse has been striving
to do: "give audiencte what they enjoy most
... and to produce it the best that we can".
Using words such as bouncy, zesty, farce,
lunacy, ingenious, enchanting and magical,
Schipper said the new season would kick off
on Jutne 30 with the Rodgers and Hart
musical comedy, Babes in Arms.
That will be followed by There Goes the
Bride, a farcical cod edy by Ray Cooney
and John Chapman.
The,, third play of the season will be Cor-
pse, described by the artistic director as
"'the thriller of the '80s". Concluding the
season will be the Lerner and Loewe
musical comedy„ Brigadoon.
Playhouse II will feature three shows,
Papers, Shubert Alley and Your Wildest
Dreams. Again, the emphasis will be on
comedy and fantasy.
Season tickets for members and
subscribers will go on sale by mail on
January 5 and will be available to the public
on May 4.
Completing his second term as president,
Dave Sheppard termed the 1986 season "an
interesting year" and lauded Schipper and
the staff for making it so successful.
He also commended Ed Iskauskas for
chairing the successful lot draw this year,
terming it the best fund raising effort in the
history of the Playhouse.
Sheppard also had high praise for the
Guild, terming it the best support group of
all and adding that he hoped the ladies'
organization will "last forever".
Finance chairman Russ Lingard spoke
briefly, noting the Playhouse finances have
been stable for the past five years and are
"improving all the time".
That was backed up by auditor Ken
Pinder, who explained that the board was in
a relatively strong financial position.
Also addressing the annual meeting brief-
ly were Guild president Mary Harvey and
general manager Heather Redick.
The former reported that the group's
fashion show had netted a profit of $2,400
and the use for that money would soon be
allocated by the group.
Dave Bannister is the new president and
in his inaugural remarks, thanked Sheppard
for his excellent service over the past two
years, saying that the latter had gone "far
beyond the call of duty" in the hours and ef-
fort he put into the Playhouse..
"I'm looking forward to an exciting
year," Bannister added.
At the conclusion of the meeting, the draw
was held for the raffle of a lot in Southcott
Pines. The winner was Diana Caldwell, 19
Woodward St., Grand Bend.
The major fund raising effort for the new
year will be announced shortly.
