BAYFIELI) - Interesting, informative
and enthusiastic, was the description given
to the presentation made by the speaker at
the meeting of the Bayfield Historical Socie-
ty on May 25. Katherine Kazcas, Artistic
Directoq of the theatre at Blyth spoke
fluently and .entertainly, beginning with the
history of the memorial hall, explaining the
policies with regards . to the selection :of
plays, development programming, and con-
cluding with tempting •glimpses of the plays
to'be produced this season. •
In 1920; she said, the memorial hall was a
building to commemorate the dead, but in
fact became the focal point in -Blyth, housing
every- .sort of community activity and enter-
tainment. Then in the '50s the popularity, of
movies led to a decline and the building fell
into disuse and neglect. It was not until the
'70s, when it was proposed to demolish the
hall and use the area as a parking lot; that a
group. of concerned citizens and young ar-
tists from Toronto with Huron County con-
nections took action, and as a result of their
endeavours the Blyth theatre came into be -

ing in 1975.
Now in its 13th season, and with a budget
that has grown from $3,000 to three quarters
of a million, the building has been refurbish-
ed and equipped; and offers a series of plays
whose wide appeal is demonstrated not only
when on tour, but by the interest shown on
the theatrical scene as a whole.
Speaking of the type of plays produced at
Blyth, Ms. Kazcas emphasized the care•and
refining processes involved in making the
selections. She described the workshops
which considered solicited and unsolicited
scripts, the ways in which these were
analysed and adapted with the co-operation
of the writers, actors and directors. In this
way plays milli Canadian content reflected
history, current affairs and personal con-
flicts, often in familiar settings and yet with
a widespread appeal because of the humour
and humanity of the characterization: The
new •play development programming; has
thus brought about a series•of workshops,
open to the public who are able to contribute
and thus enable the writers to expand their
concepts, and after much hard work and re -
available for everyone to use.

writing, produce entertainment of excep•

tional quality.
Commenting on the seating capacity of
Blyth, Ms. Kazcas said that once the season
is ander ,way' the actors .play to full houses
night after , night, yet there is something
about the ambience that creates an in-
timacy bet .- en audience and actors and
this'is furthered by' the local participation of
young people who become familiar with the
cast and producers. Because of the unique
quality of the Festival theatre at Blyth it
does not compete with others, such as Strat'
ford, and continues to attract actors who
welcome the opportunity to take part in the
productions.
A brief outline of the`. plots for the for-
thcoming season concluded Ms. .Kazeas
presentation, all of which promise first class
entertainment. She thanked the Bayfield
people who have supported the theatre since
its inception and hoped that they would con-
tinue to do so - and bring their friends.
The subsequent question session indicated
-the popularity of 'the theatre and the ap-
preciation of all the plays presented to date.
