ime to move on - Ro
BY JOANNE
BUCHANAN
James Roy feels that it
is time to move on. After
five summers, he is
leaving as artistic
director of the Blyth
Summer Festival, a
festival which he has
helped to launch and
develop.
Roy directed this
season's first production,
This Foreign Land and is
presently directing Child,
the festival's fourth of-
fering of the 'season. It
opens July 31 and has
only six performances. It
is a drama, the festival's
most serious play of the
season.
Written by James
Nichol, a full-time writer
from Toronto who wrote
,Gwendoline. which •was
performed at the festival
last year, the story is
basically about the effect
which children have on
parents (Nichol has three.
children of his own).
"It should have
something to . say to
people with kids," says
Roy.
The play features a
cast of four --a married
couple, Peter and Celia
Dure .(Sam Malkin and
Kate Trotter) whose son
disappears in a snow
storm and their neigh-
bours; Peter and Dolly
MacLeish (Peter Snell
and Seana• McKenna)
who become storm
stayed at the Dure home.
The plot revolves around
the effect of the child's
disappearance and
subsequent death on the
couple and their
marriage.
Roy says rehearsals for
Child are "coming along
nicely." He explains that
rehearsals involve far
more than just learning
lines. In fact, learning
lines is the least part of it,
he says.
"It's very hard work. A .
bad production starts out
the same place as a good
production. What you're
trying to do is have
everyone ready at the
same time opening night:
That's difficult because
some actors work more
quickly than others.
_Some are intellectual and
others work from in-
stinct," says
n-stinct,"says Roy.
It helps if you have
directed the actors in
other productions, says
Roy and he has wdrked
with each member of the
cast of Child at leas-t;•once,.,
before.
"Essentially you are
putting out a product on
demand. It's a very high
energy thing, very
exhausting," he con-
tinues.
Comedies usually go
over with audiences
better than dramas and
that's why most of the
plays at Blyth are
comedies. But dramas
are thrown in for good
measure to offer the
audience variety, .says
Roy.
He feels that Child is a
good play for him "to go
out on" because it's quite
,different from anything
else that has been done at
the festival. He says he
tries not to get sen-
timental about the fact.
that this is the last play
he will direct as artistic
director of the festival.
Roy doesn't have any
definite plans to fulfill
once he leaves the Blyth
Festival but he does want
to stay involved with
theatre.
"I'm not frustrated
enough to give it up yet,
he'laughs.
He admits that there
are times when he really
hates the business.
"It's a hell of a way to
make a living or I should
say, not. make a living.
The jobs are few and far
between," he explains.
He admits that it is
probably a bad time to be
leaving his job . because
money is tight in the arts
in this country right now
and most people are
holding onto what they've
got. But he is convinced
that things will change
and he's just going to wait
and see what comes up
for him. He wouldn't
mind some time off
anyway, he says, just to
go to the lake, relax and
do whatever he wants.
,For the 'past five sum-
mers he hasn't had too
much time for relaxing.
When not busy with
rehearsals six days a
week, he has been busy
with administrative work
at the festival.
"It (the festival) has
taken a lot out of me but.
it's been nice to see things
grow," he says. Not
only have the audiences
grown at Blyth (at-
tendance is up over last
year again) but the
Memorial Hall, where the
plays are staged, has.
already received some
improvements ' and will
be receiving more. Last
summer, airconditioning
was installed. Wheelchair

ramps are being installed
soon to make the building
accessible to the han-
dicapped. This winter,
with the help of a grant
from the federal and
provincial governments,
an addition is being built
onto the hall to provide
backstage • space,
dressing rooms, a box
office, art gallery and
administrative office.
At present the festival
rents two buildings on the
same street as the hall.
One building serves as a
box office and ad-
ministrative office and
the other one serves as a
workshop where sets are'
built and costumes
designed and sewn. Roy.
says more rehearsal
space is badly needed at
the festival too.
Although he will be
moving to Toronto,'Roy
says he will probably
keep his house in Blyth
too. He likes the people
and the landscape around
Blyth. His wife Anne is
involved in theatre too.
and ....is spending her
summer in Blyth writing
plays.
Roy studied theatre at
York University in
Toronto and came to
Blyth a year after his
graduation.' Directing,
rather than acting, was
his main interest but he
had trouble getting a job.
Meanwhile Paul
Thompson, founder of
Theatre Passe Muraille,
had rehearsed the play
1837 in the basement of
the Blyth Memorial Hall
after hearing about it
from Blyth Standard
editor, Keith Roulston.
Thompson told Roy
about •"the hall and Roy
contacted Roulston. He
figured since no one
would give him a job, he
would create one for
himself. The festival seed
was planted and
blossomed from there.
After' Roy arrived in
Blyth, he and Roulston
worked hard to form a
board of directors, save
the hall and get sortie
backing by applying .,for
grants. The first play
performed was Mostly in
Clover, written by St.
Augustine native Harry
Boyle. The people lapped,
it up, showing., their
huh -ger for theatre of a
local nature. .
Expanding from
simply a summer of
plays, the Blyth Centre
for the Arts was formed
and about ten events are
nom_ .staged., throughout..:

months too. There are
visual arts displays,
talent shows, musical
nights, touring plays,
workshops, etc. One
event planned for this fall
which Roy thinks will be
quite good is . the play
entitled The Show Hank
Williams Never Gave.
Janet Amos, the ' ar-
tistic director succeeding
Roy,' is -trying to set up a
tour of The School Show
(a play written by Ted
Johns about the famous
Huron County teachers'
strike) for next spring
and is even thinking of
taking oneor two plays to
Toronto.
"A lot of people are
starting to know that we
exist," says Roy. He isn't
referring to those people.
in the local area but to
those in larger centres.
"This theatre does
have a- ' reasonable
reputation in the country
and the local aspect is
very important.
• Hopefully ..it will spawn a
few more similar
situations in the coun-
try," he says.
Roy feels that Janet
Amos was a good choice
for his successor as ar-
tistic director at Blyth
and claims that the Blyth
Festival "will only gel
better."
James Roy, who helped to launch and develop
the Blyth Summer Festival, is leaving this year
after his fifth summer as artistic director. He is
currently • directing Child, the festival's fourth
offering of the season. It is a very serious drama --
and a good pray to go out on" he says. (Photo by
