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.
