Before and after main show
at entail additional cost.
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
