James Saar has written a'
questionable script, full of
well -used jokes, but the play
doeawork.
The [flay is a spoof on the
hdrr6r films popular in the
11140's, and 50's, complete
with, heroes on an ar-
chaeological expedition, an
ancient Egyptian tomb and
an • ancient Egyptian
mummy which is brought
back to life.
The play is wonderfully
carried off by the four actors
who play the ten or so roles
the play calls for. The actors'
enthusiasm- is infectious;
they obviously are having a
wonderful time _ with the
play, and that makes it all
the more enjoyable.
The action starts off with a
hilarious musical summary
of the events detailing the
story of the curse. Kim
Worobec, as an Egyptian
high priestess, tells the story
while the other three
players, Janelle Hutchison,
David Nairn, and Hank
Stinson, act out the parts.
We return, in the next
scene, 4002 years later when

for a play such as this
very few pretentious: The
singing is also fairly., well
done; Hank Stinson seems
the most comfortable in this
department, although in
certain ranges Janelle
Hutchison has a very nice
voice.
The music, written by Joey
Miller with lyrics by him and
James Saar, is also in-
fectiously good -humoured. --
It's easy to hum along to the
songs, and the three-piece
band performs them well.
Playhouse II offers a
welcome place to see a play.
New this year at the Huron
Country Playhouse, it is a
small cabaret theatre with
smaller audiences and a
warmer atmosphere. It is
conveniently situated beside
the bar so audience mem-
bers can buy refreshments
before the show begins and
bring them into the theatre
with them. Instead of row
seating, there are several
small tables, with the stage
area on the other end of the
room.

18 Wheels opens Playhouse
18 Wheels opened at Huron
Country Playhouse H in
Grand Bend on July 2 and
will run for 21 performances
throughout July and August.
This is the first show to
open Playhouse II, the
newest addition to the Huron
Country Playhouse enter-
tainment complex.
18 Wheels has turned out to
be a genuine Canadian suc-
cess story. The country and
western ' ttfcking " rmisrical
started off in a small Toronto
theatre and has
subsequently been staged
across the country.
Why has this unpreten-
tious musical become such a
hit? When it first opened in
Toronto, the Globe and Mail
summed it up: "The title's
18 Wheels refer to the flat -
nosed giants that barrel
along our highways, and the
show is all about trucks,
truckers, CB radios, country
music and nearly every
related area. But if that
sounds a little out of your

line, just forget it is about
trucks: After the first five
minutes, you, won't care
much why you came." That
reaction to the show has
been catching. People are
simply fascinated by the
world of truckers.
John Gray ( who has since
gone on to write both Billy
Bishop Goes to War and
Rock and Roll), shaped the
show and wrote the songs. "I
soaked up trucker lore,"
Gray explains. "I -read
magazine articles and tried
to get an understanding of
what it's like to be a trucker.
Of course some aspects of
the job are very boring and I
left those things out of the
show."
What Gray did come up
with was 16 songs for a show
that covers the colourful side
of the long-distance trucking
world --the greasy spoon
stops, the camaraderie of
the road, the CB radio chat-
ter, the stretches of endless
highway, and the horror of a
atlouusystem.
