Join TVOntario 9 February, and see the latest discoveries indicatipg that salt- - the most. common of dietary habits - can, in fact, be life-threatening. "The deal of the century ! " That's how Ar- tistic Director Katherine Ka.szas described this season's Blyth Festival voucher pack offer. The voucher packs, each containing four vouchers redeemable for four theatre ad- missions, went on sale' last fall and cost only $30.00. This works out to $7.50 per ticket, and can result in savings of over 40% on the regular ticket prices! For the 1987 season, regular adult ticket prices from opening to July 11 will be $8.00, and $10.50 for Saturday evenings. After July 11, adult tickets will go up slightly to $9.00, $11.00 for Saturday evenings. Children's ticket prices remain at $3.00 for all perfor- mances - these have not been increased in seven years. . "The Blyth Festival works very hard to keep ticket prices as low as possible" said 'Kaszas, "but sometimes inflation catches up with us and we are forced to increase our prices slightly. However, the ticket prices at Blyth are still much lower than any other comparable theatre around." In order to cash in on the savings offered by purchasing voucher packs, just call the Blyth Box Office at 523-9300 from Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Requiem added to London Chorus choral 1987, repertoire Andrew Lloyd Webber's Requiem, 'one of `the most exciting .pieces to be added to the classical music choral repertoire in years,. is the first concert of 1987 for'the„London Fanshawe Symphonic Chorus.
