The centre, which will .be opening its sixth . ;IAA/ on July 4, actually unites a variety of highl acclaimed talent, including writers, actors ' and painters, resulting in Blyth being included .on the list of the 10 best summer theatre towns in Canada. The same 'list recognizes Stratford and the Shaw Festival at Niagara - on -the -Lake. The centre's most popular activity always has been its production of plays. This season's performances, featuring, 'John and the Missus', `St. Sam of the Nuke', `The Life that Jack Built', and last year's hit, `I'll Be Back For You Before Midnight', promise to be as entertaining and professional as always. Gordon Pinsent, who wrote, 'John and the Missus', is also the creator of the. television series, 'A Gift to Last', and the movie, 'The Rowdyman'. He has re- written his play for the festi- val to actoinmodate the, smaller cast of the theatre. The play tells the story of a Newfoundland miner, John Munn, who must decide whether to heed the wishes of 'his wife and family and quit the mine for the easier life off a larger town, or stay in the tiny village he has always known. David Fox, who performed in one of last year's plays, 'Death of the Donnellys', will be starring in the lead role. He explained that the character, John, is faced with deciding who he is and where he is going. As Mr. Fox said, his dilemma could be perceived as a confession that his life style, occupation and beliefs, banked on for 45 to 50 years, were actually a mistake. In order to ready himself for the part, Mr. Fox now is attempting to capture the character and feelings of John, but at the same time to remember that he isstill an actor. One technique is recalling when he faced moments of decision that resulted in personal change and expansion. `St. Sam of the Nuke', by Ted Johns, deals with nuclear power, expecially as it has affected the com- munities around the Bruce Nuclear Power Develop - Many gather for Brydges reunion BELGRAVE — Despite the inclement weather, over 80 descendants of the late Jeremiah Brydges gathered at the Belgrave arena on Sunday.
