It was con- sidered an unqualified success, judging by the continuous laughter and loud applause. The four member cast had the audience in stitches with their witty sketches and unbelievable and imaginative improvisa- tions. Anyone who saw the performance couldn't help but smile at the mention of Gordon Pinsent and Canadian film, Gremlins,Beaverslfootball atis , Ronnie and Brian, •Bartl ff's and countless others. Two door prizes were drawn at intermis- sion and were won by Ross Carter and Elizabeth Oak. These people are the reci- pients of free admission for themselves and an escort to the performance of Lover's Leap - the Community Players' first presen- tation to be held Dec. 4, 5 and 6. The refreshments and cabaret style at- mosphere contributed to making the even- ing enjoyable for all. The CAC is interested in your comments on this performance.

The play is underscored with original music and is suitable for adults and for children over five years of age. It is a nostalgic comedy in which children spend idyllic days catching snowflakes on their tongues and playing hockey on homemade rinks. A Prairie Boy's Winter is, also a moving portrayal of two very differeent brothers who, while playing the familiar games of winter, come to understand one another. Children and adults alike will be transfixed by the luminously -colored costumes, the im- aginative staging, the lyrical theme music and the joyful celebration of Canadian winter. The play, which is based on the stories and paintings of Manitoba artist William Kurelek, played to capacity crowds throughout Manitoba for the last two Christmas seasons.
