And the me - generation of the seventies? LOVE IN THE BACK SEAT, a Canadian musical revue now running at Playhouse II in Grand Bend (until July 21), spans all three of these eras with songs, dancing and comedy. Written by Bill Hartley and Cliff Jones (with music by Cliff Jones), LOVE folloxvs the lives of two couples, Ricky and Debbie and Bobby and Bumpers, from adolescence to adulthood. David Nairn, who just finished appearing in A THOUSAND CLOWNS • on ' the Playhouse's main stage, is Bobby, a "cool" high school student who goes to college, gets married and has a child, drops out to experience Woodstock and ends up divorced and hanging around a disco while dressed like John Travolta. Hank Stinson, who will play the title role in Playhouse II's second production, BILLY BISHOP GOES TO WAR, is Ricky, a high school "square" who becomes active as a protestor and demonstrator in his college days.. Marcia Tratt is Bumpers, a "fast" girl with a reputation in high school who marries Bobby and puts him through college on her salary as a go-go dancer, has a child, divorces Bobby and becomes an "intellectual". Annabel Kershaw is Debbie, a "nice' girl in high school who dates Ricky but stays high for most of the sixties. THEATRE . REVIEW Director Ron Ulrich, musical director Michael Muirooney and choreographer Lea Farrell take the cast through a lively pace on numbers like "Wheels", ;'Car Hop" and "Me". One of the highlights of the show is a parody on Sonny and Cher with the song, "The Good Old Days are A-Changin"'. Sex is very much at the forefront of this musical with songs like "Dear Mr. Kimberly-Clark", "Hot Date" and "The Joy of Sex". The characters find out about sex in the back seat of a fifties model car which remains on stage as an effective one and only prop for the entire production. It was uncomfortably warm inside Playhouse II on the opening night of LOVE IN THE BACK SEAT but one is allowed to purchase cooF'drinks• to take inside and this helps a lot. Ontario Liberal Leader David Peterson was a special guest ,at the opening and offered his,congratulations to the Playhouse on its success so far. Peterson's wife Shelley Performed on the Playhouse's main stage last year as Helen Keller's mother in THE MIRACLE WORKER and is currently appearing . in BEDROOM FARCE which opened on the Playhouse's main stage last night ( watch for the review in next week's paper). The cast of LOVE IN THE BACK SEAT, from left to right, are Marcia Tratt, Hank Stinson (kneeling), David Nairn and Annabel Kershaw. LOVE IN THE BACK SEAT is the first show of the Huron Country Playhouse II summer season. It opened July 11 and will run until July 21. ntario artists' work featured at Blyth Gallery The exhibition of selected works from•the Ojibwe Cultural Foundation of Manitoulin Island, currently on display at the Blyth Festival Art Gallerytogether with Helena Wilson's Photographic View of Native Ar- tists at Work,•close on July 21.
