Citizens News, February 18/ 76 - Page 13 School tour ns for C layhouse James Murphy, Huron Country Playhouse Artistic Director, today uncovered plans for the second annual School Tour. The tour will take the Playhouse Young Players throughout South- western Ontario as far as Windsor and Tornbermory. Schools in Middlesex, Bruce, Grey, Well- ington, Lambton, Elgin, Perth, Huron, Kent, Waterloo and Oxford will receive the company of five actors, under the direction of Mr. Murphy. Toronto's Jim Saar, recipient of the Ontario Arts Council Playwright's grant, wrote both plays. Fantasy, for grades kindergarten through four, is a tale based on the delightful works of Lewis Carroll, and is a dramatization of Alice's adventures in Wonderland, and through the Looking Glass. C'i.cus! for the senior elle- meniary grades (5-8), depicts the excitement and glamour of circus life, and attempts to trace the history of the circus in Canada. Both productions will incorporate a great deal of magic, mime, dance, music, and student audience participation. Mr. Murphy is presently auditioning actors for the com- pany. He is searching for profes- sional actors who have experience in children's theatre and the ver- satility for circus feats. The actors will be in residence at the Play- house in Grand Bend, and will commute to daily engagements. Highlights of the tour will include special performances in Sarnia for the Children's Ward Auxiliary of Sarnia General Hospital, with an expected attendance of 1500 people, and two performances for the Theatre Ontario Festival, May 29, in London. The Playhouse Young Players tour begins April 1. t NEW * Cars * Wagons � ans * Trucks We Have The Selection! 1973 LTD 4 -door pillared hard- top, V-8 automatic, power steering and brakes, white- wall tires.
