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

sixties, The Odd Couple.

From July 18 to 22 the
Playhouse will salute the
twenties with -the comedy

Bath written -by Canadian
Charles Bell and Mark
Swan. 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.

The idea for the
Country Playhouse _was
first conceived by James
Murphy who, with
notable assistance from
Bill Heinsohn, brought
the Toronto Gate Theatre
Productions to Grarid
Bend. In 1972 they
pioneered the first
"PTayhouse season. They.
had acquired 3.5 acres of

founders hoped to convert
into a theatre) was
subsequently taken over
by the organization's
nonprofit charter and its
Board of Trustees which -
was made • up. of
representatives from'
throughout the region.
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. To
