Shirley Eikhard started performing na- tionally at the tender age of 13. At that time, Anne Murray said of her, "Shirley already has more talent in her little finger than most artists will ever develop." Since that time, Shirley has made a name for herself as a versatile and growing songwriter, per- former and recording artist. She has garnered two Juno awards, recorded three albums and appeared on over 300 radio and television shows in the last twelve years, in- cluding two Anne Murray specials, numerous Tommv Hunter shows and a Hagood Hardy special in 1976. In recent years, Shirley's music has grown from her country and folk music roots to encompass the jazz and blues tradi- tion as well. For the Nov. 9 concert she will perform a mixture of her own compositions, many of which have hit the "top 10" in radio play, along with some classic country and folk tunes. Shirley will be backed up by a three piece band. Tickets for the concert are $10 each, and are available by calling the Festival at 523- 9300. Juno award winner, Shirley Eikhard will be performing at the Blyth Festival On Nov. 9. She combines a variety of styles from country to jazz, modern to blues and is known as one of Canada's best vocalists. Round 'n About with Martha Rathburn You know that the winter season is here, already, when Little Theatre puts on their first play. Their selection i , a good "oldie" on the big screen or the live theatre, Bus Stop! At The Livery, I happened to catch them rehearsing and listened to the chatter con- cerning what they should wear. Everything seemed under control, except for a couple of jackets. They needed something with wool or fur -lining - and collars. Just two - with or without sleeves - to be worn as they come in or go out into the snowstorm. Do any of you have one to lend them while the play is on? One should be about size 40 to 42, the other a 44. These two cowboys are big. The coats need to be well worn - not new, so they hope to borrow a couple. Get in touch with Jenny Black at the little store on Britannia Road, 524-8154. Little Theatre is a great pastime if you can take the time to get acquainted with it. There are lots of things to do in order to sw- ing a good play. Whoever the director hap- pens to be they will take care of the actors and actresses they will need. Besides that, several people must know -rr -hoW 'to-do theati hake -up - it is different. honestly! They have to have people who understand lighting - it would be nice to know that several people were available for the dif- ferent plays. As far as I know, there aren't too many who know how to handle theatre lighting. Lucky for G.L.T. there are a few good ones in town. You could learn. Then, there are the costumes. Over the years, a few - very few dedicated people have sewn, fixed and worked their fingers thin with the costumes, making, fixing over, shortening, lengthening - and a dozen other maddening things only a very patient per- son would handle. Besides that there are bits and pieces, fur- niture and everything that makes a room realistic - this, too, is interesting to collect. Then there are people with hammers and saws -and many other tools who build the sets for the stage - a very interesting seg- ment in the building of a stage show follow- ed by those who will decorate the set. This often takes painters - to slap on the color or use wallpaper. Anyone can hang wallpaper, you say? Don't you believe it, interior decorating is interesting and tricky and on a small stage usually a challenge. Believe it or not, there are very few people who can do almost all of these jobs and one or two who have tried tnem all! I know I haven't mentioned all the things that go to create a good show - besides the performers. There are so many little jobs to do, so many big' ones too, that it takes a lot of nice people who are glad to help lighten the load. So, I'm just leading up to the fact that if you wish to help - just let the people already involved know it and when other plays come Fluid Fertilizer and Atrazine ...Make an excellent combination for fall plow -down and twitch control =TERRA -GATOR due, they will have your phone number to call. I hope you already have your membership ticket and your seat reserved for "Bus Stop", which will be on November 14, 15, 16 and 17. Very few realize how odd some jobs are for plays. In this play you will see, pieces of pie and whole pies, roasts of beef - you can almost smell the big roast - a very clever lady has made these available using papier- mache. You will learn her name from the play bill. There are lots of surprises in building a successful play. A great many are needed. Making things for the stage was one of my special things that I liked to do. Stone walls, fireplaces - some of there nice enough for a big room. I recall Ten Little Indians built by hand! And make-up - I loved it. In this "new" theatre, there are nice dressing rooms, a large make-up room with the many things required to make the hair, beards, faces and clothing look right under the lights. As far as making things of paper and paste - I have boxes and bags of materials if you want to try to make something - it is as interesting as pottery or plasticine. Messy but fun! I'd like to see you TRY these crafts. I'm sure you have seen some things at the craft shows that you felt you could make also. So why not DO it?
