Growth of Blyth Festival is "emphasize The achievements of 'the Blyth Festival during the 1982.1983 year were highlighted at the annual meeting of the Blyth Centre for the Arts on Dec: 8; "It is our respensiblity to give the'bestquality of music and theatre to our audience," said glixabeth Herman,resi- dent of the Board ,of Directors of the Blyyth Festival. "Our pest year's main thrust has been to expand our national profile and at the same time deepen our ties with the immediate audience and community," The art show of Native people fror the Ojibway Cultural Centre end the Native Theatre School performances broadened the theatre's base along with the expansion of the Children's Workshop Program to include older children and .the- performance of the Manitoba Puppet Workshop, she said, "We are growing end wanting other people to grow with us. The tours have very much, helped to build our profile in Southwestern Ontario," she said adding that the expanded tour of The Tomorrow Box' was the first theatre event at some of the places it was performed, The presentation of the Festival's finan- cial statements echoed Mrs, Herman's statements of • growth, expansion, and success: The whstol',-eapitera�summer revenue of the Blyth Centre for the Arts totalled nearly SVi million in 1982-83. The Summer Festival retarded a surplus of $22,485 on a total budget of 5357,000, Of that, 61 per cent consisted of box office and other earned revenue, 27 per cont was support from government arts councils and employment grants, and 12 per cent was made up of donated community support. "It is very interesting to note " Mrs. Herman',said, "that over 60 per cent of all donations come from the immediate Huron County area."

The est,speakef was Domini Blythe from the Stratford Festival Theatre, e young lady of English origin who has now adopted the Canadian theatre, where her talents have delighted audiences during past seasons.

But by now; Miss Blythe con ued, Strat- ford, Ontario had captured her imagination, The challenge of the thrust stage and close rapport with the audience was demanding. But it was also exciting, a live growing theatre, developing of itself without tradi- tional roots, yet entirely devoid of the sterili- . ty generated by some modern structures, In anticipation of such a fascinating speaker the .business of the. meeting was' condensed as much as possible with welcoming words from President„ Elva Metcalf, reports from the officers and an as coarct -of -the --50th- Anniversary -meeting- presented by Gwen Pemberton which some members had attended in November, Thanking Miss Blythe, Alec McAlister congratulated her, especially on -the lively way in which' she had presented her story, and on behalf of everyone present expressed their appreciation of the opportunity to meet 'her and share her experiences. • s eaea irYcold& DISCO, KM S; WALTZES WGood ItOttor038Muslai:or 4ddtnps,8ancpi i Mva tlek , P,arna., Ern, ETHEL, ONTARIO BRUSSELS -111,741S9 - EVENINGS DUBLIN & DISTRICT ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION BINGO FRI., JAN. 6 >! p.m. Dublin & District Community Centro .44 S me . -• .91,1e1 a .44 its*Ca to.
