It runs August .29 to September 2. BY JOANNE WALTERS People 'in this area certainly can't complain about a lack of summer theatre. If they want to, they • can attend a dif- ferent play every week without driving too far. They can view anything from- popular classics to plays of local relevance in settings Which range from a renovated barn or hall to outdoors in a.. walled -in jail yard. True, the theatre in this area may lack the opulence of the Stratford Festival, if that's the type of thing one is looking for. But, it must also be remembered that the development of theatre in this area on a large scale is still in the embryonic" stages. From all in- dications though, it is growing quickly and who knows, it may even outdistance theatre in the larger centres in appeal some day. PLAYHOUSE CLASSICS The -Huron Country Playhouse, located in Grand Bend, is the place to go if you'd like to ,see a popular classic. This year the Playhouse is paying a tribute to six decades of theatre. The 1978 season opened on Tuesday, July 4 with Neil ' Simon's, Broadway hit of the sixties, The Odd Couple.

Judy Savoy, 'the witty CFPL weather girl, will be featured in this play as a gossip columist who 'helps' a timid man deceive his wife. The seventies will be represented by a two-part comedy entitled Two Below. This 'is the first performance 'of a new Canadian -play by George Robertson, author of "Dawson- Patrol" and other television shows. It runs from July 25 to 29.

In 1972 they pioneered the first "PTayhouse season.

As renovations and conversion of the facilities into a summer theatre complex began in 1973 (with the aid of a Federal L.I.P. Grant), the idea of building a separate theatre structure was already gaining favor. By 1975, after three constantly expanding seasons in -a rented tent, the present barn -style theatre was erected. In 1976 the lighting system and outdoor walkways were added. To date, over $270,000 has been raised throughout the region toward the costs of building and renovations. The acting company has to its credit 412 performances of 44 major 'Productions, as well as 71 one-night stands in Kincardine, Owen Sound, Meaford, Lion's Head, Sarnia,' 'Hanove, Wingham and Fergus. School tours have taken live theatre into well over 100 of the region's schools. , In 1977 Hollywood star John. Carradine graced the Playhouse stage with his performance as Uncle Stanley in "George Washington Sle-pt _Here".. This helped to bring into focus . the Playhouse artistic policy: the presentation of popular classics featuring national and in- ternational stars. PLAYS OF LOCAL - RELEVANCE The Blyth Summer Festival is the place to go if you'd like to see plays of Iocal relevance, ones that are of special im- portance to the people of Southwestern Ontario. The first play of the season, which„ opened on Friday evening, is ' of particularinterest to, Goderich folks. The Huron Tiger, written by Peter Colley, author of "The DonnellyS ', is a story about Tiger Dunlop, 'the outrageously ec- centric founder of the Town of Goderich. This play will run in- termittently right through to August 26. The second play, His Own Boss, is written by Blyth's own Keith Roulston. Anyone who saw- The Shortest Distance Between Two Points last year at the Festival, st vat, will know what g t here in our midst. The story of His Own Boss revolves around an assembly line worker who thinks his dearest dream has come true when he inherits his uncle's cheese .factory and secretary. This play opened July 11 and the last date for it is August 17. The School Show, written by Ted Johns, will really hit home for those who remember the Huron County high school teacher strike this year (and who . could forget it!). This is the third show of the season and will run intermittently from August 1 until August 22. The fourth production is Gwendoline written by James Nichol, a poignant drama with an en- trancing heroine. This show opens August 9 and runs until August 25 off and on. The last production, Two; miles Off, will open August 23 and will run every night from August 28 to September 2. THE BLYTH SUMMER - FESTIVAL STORY Blyth Summer Festival is several years younger than the Huron Country Playhouse. From a small organizationknown only in the local area, the theatre company has. grown to win critical acclaim as a Canadian Summer Company doing plays of quality and relevance. The Blyth Centre for -the Arts, an incorporated `charitable organization td,spnnsor and promote artistic events which reflect the. heritage and lifestyles of Western Ontario, all began with the Blyth Memorial Hall,. the home of the Blyth Summer Festival. The hall, as the name suggests, was built as a memorial 'to veterans of -World War I in 1921. For $25,000, which was a lot of money in those days, volunteer labor managed to erect a beautiful building housing an excellent theatre. The arch stage was small but the orchestra area could seat 400 and the theatre thrived during the days of vaudeville and com- munity musicals. But there came a day when theatre became less popular and the hall was neglected and finally forgotten. For 20 years it sat unused and even- tually it had to be con- demned. Finally, however, some concerned citizens aided by a $40,000 grant came to the hall's rescue by fixing the roof and restoring the .building for practical purposes. One of the far- sighted citizens involved in saving the hall was Keith Roulston, former publisher of the I lyth Standard-_ .. and -still pdblisher of the Village Squire as well as president of the Board of Directors of the Blyth Centre for the Arts.
