Since its inception in 1974, Dancemakers has continued its original policy of com- missioning a wide range of works by both international and Canadian choreographers. The Company wants to assist audiences to better un- derstand the modern dance art form and to introduce its best aspects to the widest possible audience, as a means of making con- temporary dance a vital part of the cultural life of Canada. During the two evening performances in Goderich five to seven dancers will be featured in works from the Company repertoire. The works will be of varying styles and moods and are suitable for family en- tertainment, Huron County Library gets new computer to try out The performances will be held at the MacKay Centre. They will begin at 7 p.m. and last 90 minutes. Tickets cost $3 for adults and $2 for senior citizens and students. They can be purchased. from the Recreation Department, ticket capta in Heather Lyons or members of the MacKay Centre for Seniors. The cultural sub- committee of the Recreation Board is trying to bring as many cultural groups to Goderich as possible andis being aided by the Ontario Arts Council which pays 50 per cent of the cost for groups such as Dan- cemakers. Jane Netzke of the Recreation Department says Dancemakers is a 'top notch group that has travelled all over Canada' and will provide good entertainment `for all ages'.

"Our recent productions of The Miracle Worker and Witness for the Prosecution seemed to go over well even though they were serious dramas," says Mike„ Musicals are" not undertaken as often because of the large number of people needed to put one together. GLT's last musical wasFiddler on the Roof, staged at GDCI two years ago. Mike says it involved 'a cast of thousands.' Most of GLT's plays are staged at the MacKay Centre and the group has storage - space there as welL There is a problem though because the Centre only seats 185 people at one time and even if a play runs for five nights, that means only 925 people get to see it. If the membership is over 925 people (as it has been in some years), GLT runs into trouble. However, there have been im- provements since GLT began performing at the MacKay Centre aver 30 years ago. Softer chairs have replaced the rickety old wooden ones and the senior citizens' group sells coffee during intermissions. Approximately $1,000 is budgeted for each play. This covers the cost of set construction, props and costumes. "Reg Bell is our treasurer and every single cent is well spent or invested," says Mike. The majority of the money needed is raised through the selling of subscriptions. Patrons and advertisers cover the costs of printing programs for each play. GLT will hold a dinner in June, at which time a new executive will be elected and a program outlined for next season. At present, the group members are trying to get more involved with community events: They are helping to sell tickets for other productions being staged here and they are lending lights and make-up to the Christian Reformed School and Robertson Public School for plays the students are putting on. "If any other schools or organizations want help with their productions, we'll be glad to lend a hand," offers Mike. In turn, GLT needs help from the community. It needs 'business people to help with organization. It needs carpenters and painters for set construction. It needs women who like to . sew for moa --king costumes. It needs people who can apply make-up. It needs people to help with lighting, special effects and technical aspects. It needs actors and actresses. "Even if - you don't know how to do something, you can still join and learn," says Mike. If you feel you would like to get involved, call any member of the executive (Mike Scott, Warren Robinson, Wayne Lyons, Betty Etue, June Hill, Ruth Leonard, KathyJenkins, Muriel Reinhart, Reg Bell or Marj Macfie) or watch for an- nouncements in this newspaper pertaining to GLT activities. Goderich is a theatre -oriented com- munity and has every right to be proud of GLT. But remember: GLT depends oh volunteer effort to make it a success.
