Composed by John Roby, the music is in the style of the 1950s bebop era. It's played by band members iteAwg FASHION SHOW T: J. SPONSORED BY BAYFIELD LIONESS with Tracey Luciani of CKNX as Commentator to be held WEDNESDAY, JULY 22 BAYFIELD ARENA DOWNSTAIRS 7:30 p.m. TICKETS ■ Door Prizes and Dessert John Roby ( Keyboards ), Alex Dean (sax- ophone), Brian O'Kane (trumpet), Steve Lucas (bass), and Mark Congram (drums) - and they manage to produce that wonderful sound from extremely cramped gtfarte"rs! The band sits directly behind the back wall of the Girls set, in a corridor -like space approximately 6' x 16'. They work in the dark with small lights on their music stands to illuminate the score. Strangely enough, the band members have never actually seen the performance on stage - they only hear what is happening through their headsets! In addition, the actors use one end of the musicians' "corridor" as an access to the stage, making for much to-ing and fro-ing in the dark confined space! One of the musicians, Mark Congram, has a local connection - his parents are both originally from Wingham and his paternal grandparents, Wilfrid and Elsie Congram, still reside there. Mark himself, spent many holidays at his grandparents' home when he was younger so he's no stranger to Huron County. If you haven't yet seen Girls In The Gang, there are still tickets available for most per- formances. Don't miss out on this terrific production - and some of the catchiest music in town.

Miss Balmoral of the Bayview, the new comedy by Colleen Curran, opens at the Festival on July 14 and advance public in- terest has been so great that all 16 perfor- mances are completely sold out. However, as usual, a limited number of rush seats will go on sale to the general public two hours before performance time for each show. According to Keith Roulston, co-founder of the Festival, a similar record was set in 1983 when The Tomorrow Box was brought back and tickets were sold out before open- ing. But it is very unusual for a new play, one which has never been seen on stage before, to sell out in this way. "Audiences love a good comedy", said General Manager Tim Chapman, "and peo- ple remember the other Colleen Curran plays we've done here - Cake Walk and Moose County. I apologize to all those people who will be unable to get tickets to this show. We always urge people to purchase their tickets well in advance to avoid disap- pointment, but sometimes they don't believe us." If you want a night out at the theatre, and don't want to line up for Balmoral rush tickets, there are still tickets available for the other plays running in repertory at the Festival Girls in the Gang, Bordertown Cafe and Bush Fire (opening July 21).
