Play's cast members
practise at ball park
The grass is green, the sun
is shining...and the actors at
the Blyth Festival are
warming up on the baseball
diamond. The baseball
diamond? "Blue City", the
festival's fourth new
Canadian play this season, is
about a women's fastball
team in a small town.
In addition to regular
rehearsals, the actors have
taken time out to get pointers
from members of the local
women's teams. And many
of them honed their skills
last Sunday when the Blyth
Festival fielded two teams,
the Blyth Boomers and the
Blyth Booteneers, against
teams from Grand Bend's
Huron Country Playhouse.
Doug Bale, drama critic
for the London Free Press
(considered eminently
neutral by both sides) was
one of the umpires.
"Blue City" is written by
Laurie Coleman, well known
to festival audiences for his
acting and directing. It is
directed by Janet Amos.
The cast includes David
Fox, Ron Gabriel, Robert
,lfli g_,aud,^Deborah Kimmett
— all of whdm-can .be, seen in
the extreme'ly'^ popular
"Garrison's Garage" — and
Mary Ann Coles, Gerald
Lenton and Jenny Munday,
members of the cast of the
beautiful and moving
"Spider in th ,House".
Newcomers- to the Blyth
stage also in the production
are Peg Christopherson,
Jennifer Griffin andlVendell
Smith. Blyth resident Chris
Royal also is part of the cast
and David Stephenson will
understudy his role.
