CLINTON - A very wise man once said
that every act of creation is first of all an act
of destruction.
The Clinton Arts Committee has been
working very hard recently to destroy the
common myth that small towns cannot sup-
port active cultural organizations. The Arts
Committee has strived, as part of its man-
date, to create opportunities for the public to
enjoy a wide variety of high quality enter-
tainment in our newly renovated Town Hall
complex. They have tried to offer the com-
munity chances to experience not only high
calibre professional touring acts, like the re-
cent Rabid Transit Comedy Caberet group

from Toronto, but, as well, we have sought
to promote local, "hot'he-grown" amateur
talent. The successful Area Talent Contest
held in late October is proof that people do
not need to look far in order to find people
who possess amazing poise and.a variety of
talent on stage. The people of Clinton and
area are indeed fortunate to be entertained
by another local group which has been
organized under the guidance of the Arts
Committee.
The Clinton Community Players is a small
troupe of amateur local actors who have
met for the last 10 weeks to rehearse a three
act comedy which will dedut on the Town

memorable "I Dream of Jeannie". His play more.
Characters on this ledge include a man
trying to get up the gumption to jump off,
and a happy hooker who is trying to escape a
perverted customer who wants to tie her up
and take "innocent" pictures. This play has
so many funny and original lines that you'll
need to bring your calculator to keep track
of them all. But be warned: don't expect a
serious, philosophical message. Lover's
Leap is 100 per cent, no holes barred, plain
good fun. It's a super adult comedy suitable
for all audiences both young and old.
Take a close look at the rehearsal photos
on this page. Yes, that's right. All the actors
are local people who have committed
themselves to the task of making this play a
huge success. You'll recognize Bernie Pugh,
Sandy Stuart, Linda Linfield, Floyd Her-
man, Dan Steyn, and Cheryl Jefferson. This
Thursday, Friday and Saturday night these
six actors will don their costumes, apply
their makeup, throw caution to the wind,
and do their best to provide you with a fan-
tastic local entertainment opportunity.
This is sure to be a community event
which will be talked about for weeks after-
wards. In fact, many businesses in the com-
munity have already shown their
unhesitating support for -this event. Many
other individuals have given much of their
time and talent to assist our inaugural
production.
Why not plan right now, this moment, to
attend a performance of Lover's Leap.
Tickets are sure to go fast. Call the Town
Hall offices during normal business hours to
reserve your tickets. Adult tickets will sell
for $5.00 and students tickets will be priced
at $3.00. Because auditorium seating is
limited, only a certain number of tickets will
be sold for each night. Avoid disappoint-
ment! Call 482-3997 and say "Lover's Leap
Tickets Please". Not only will you' be pur-
chasing a great entertainment bargain, but
also, you will be destroying the notion that
amateur theatre is an idea which can't work
here. An Amateur Adult Theatre Group can
and will snake a valuable cultural contribu-
tion to this community. Express your sup-
port for this most "creative" idea. Buy your
tickets today for the December 4, 5, and 6th
eight o'clock performances of Lover's Leap.
