Nephew Photography) Villag•e theatre excites city lady become interested in theatre. When she came to Canada she was in high school and "had to switch languages and there was little culture shock so I got involv- ed with a group at . the Ottawa Little Theatre. This was my salvation," said Ms. Orban. At that time there were no theatre courses offered at colleges or universities so Ms. Or - ban took a two year radio course at Ryerson which she felt allowed her to find some of the confidence which had been previously lost. After Ryerson, Ms. Orban enrolled at the University of Toronto in an art history course, "but I spent all of my free time, and more than my free time, doing plays," she said. Some of these plays included performing with the University and College Players end- playing at the Hart House. Also during her university days, Ms. Or - ban did some folk singing and later joined a semi-professional group, performing at the Collonade Theatre. Out of that eame her first professional job which led her to a nine month tour around the province. With all of this experience, one would wonder how Ms. Orban is enjoying her stay in Blyth. She says she is not only enjoying it but finds it very fascinating. "It's an extodinary phenomenon how a small community can get so Much genuine local support," she said. "For actors it's in- teresting to see people coming to the theatre who would rarely come to other theatres like those in Tbronto." Ms. Orban is enjoying her stay in the village,. bicycling around town and further, and says she finds the "friendliness of the ,village a very'',happy environment to be in." Miss Balmoral Of The Bayview runs until August 29 and Another. Season's Promise opens on August 25. BY ANNE NAREJKO BLYTH - A big city lady is quite excited about performing in two plays in a village theatre - but then again, the Blyth Festival Theatre is not your average village theatre. Judith Orban, who has performed in a number of theatres, has made her Blyth Festival stage debut this year and is finding her parts very exciting and rewarding. Ms. Orban can be seen on the stage perfor- ming in the sold out play Miss Balmoral Of The Bayview as well as Another Season's Promise. As the star in Miss Balmoral Of The Bayview, Ms, Orban says, "I love it. The role is a gift for any performer because she under goes constant change. You start at one thing and go to another and another. You get to use all of your talents." Miss Balmoral Of The Bayview set a first for the Blyth Festival, selling out before the play even opened: One would think this would give the star of the play a few extra butterflies, but in Ms. Orban's case, this didn't' happen. THEATRE REVIEW "It's a great feeling to be performing to a full house each night," she said. When questioned whether it provided ex- tra pressure, Ms. Orban said, "No, not real- ly. You get the feeling they came for.some light-hearted entertainment. "It's `part of the Job to be nervous every time you hit the stage. The onus is on those first on stage ( which Ms. Orban is in this play. )" In Another Season's Promise, Ms. Orban plays a completely different character in her supporting role as Agnes, the sister of the farmer who is the•main character. Play- ing two opposite characters provides an en- joyable challenge for her. "They're (Agnes and Miss Balmoral) are world's removed from each other which makes it very enjoyable," said the Toronto actress. In Another Season's Promise, Ms. Or - ban's character is one who has left the farm and enjoys the better things in life. She goes back to visit her brother, always causing some type of arguement. Starting in mid-September, Another Season's Promise will be touring Ontario and Alberta, winding up their schedule in November. Ms. Orban has been on tour before and was able to provide some insight into what actors and actresses encounter while on tour. "If the company spirit is good, it's a lot of fun," she said. "If you're doing a one night stand and you don't have a door or steps, you just adjusUo it - it's part and parcel of touring. You just make the best of the situation." Ms. Orban also said touring becomes more difficult for those with families but ad- ded, '"It's amazing how' quickly you (per- formers) get to be like family." For the Blyth Festival, this is the first out of province tour they have scheduled. Enjoying Blyth Ms. Orban was born in Hungary, im- migrating to Canada when she was 15 years old. She comes from a creative family with her father in the film business, her mother a photographer and her grandfather a painter. It is this background, and a few in- securities she gained when moving to a new country, which. she believesled her to Agreement to lead to more jobs A two year $100 -million agreement signed recently by the governments of Canada and Ontario will help more than 20,000 social assistance recipients in Ontario prepare for and obtain employment. Under the agreement, which ends March 31, 1989, each level of government will elm - tribute $50 million to joint support for employment and training measures for social assistance recipients volunteering to take part. The funding is money which would other- wise have been spent by the province on social assistance payments cost -shared under the Canada Assistance Plan. • The agreement was signed for Canada by Employment and Immigration Minister Benoit Bouchard and Health and Welfare Minister Jake Epp. Provincial signatories to the agreement are Skills Development Minister Gregory Sorbara and Community and Social Services Minister John Sweeney. Two programs of Employment and Im- migratioan Canada's Canadian Jobs Strategy = Job Development and Job Entry - are targeted for use by participating social assistance recipients during the first year of the agreement, The federal government estimates that, as 'a result of this agree- ment, at least 27 per cent of the participants in these two -programs in 1987 will be social assistance recipients. Job Development concentrates on improving the employment prospects of the long term unemployed. Job Entry provides work experience for young people seeking a first job and women re- entering the work force. Fifty million will be added to the Canadian Jobs Strategy expen- ditures in Ontario over the two years of the agreement. Calling the agreement a major breakthrough, Employment and Immigra- tion Minister Bouchard noted that "the federal government and Ontario will be able to do much more to help social assistance recipients get jobs and end their dependence on welfare than was possible in the past." Minister Bouchard noted this is the eighth agreement now signed between, the federal government andaa province and the largest to date.
