Home My WebLink AboutThe Huron Expositor, 1984-04-18, Page 131 THE HURON EXPOSITOR, APRIL 18, 1984 -- A13 Festival names new artistic director As new artistic director of the Blyth Festival, Katherine Kaszas will work to maintain the theatre's unique objectives. The Blyth Festival's success has-. been based on its basic commitments .to develop and produce quality Canadian works and to keep an excellent relationship between the theatre, the audience and the. community. These objectives were first developed by the theatre's first artistic. director James Roy. For the past five years Janet Amos has strived to centre the festival's -work around these beliefs and the newest artistic director will work to continue these aims. The Blyth Festival's strength and success fees with these objectives and Katherine understands and supports -these goals. It was her commitment to the development of an indigenous Canadian culture that first led her to Blyth, in 1980 and again for the 1982 and 1983 summer seasons. The festival attempts to bring new Canadian works to the stage and Katherine explained that they work to illustrate the Canadian identity. • In this theatre, we see ourselves up there; we're creating our own heroes, our own strengths and culture," she said. Anyone who takes part in the Blyth Festival finds an unusual flavor to this theatre, the unique relationship between what happens on the stage and in the community. Katherine thinks this kind of rapport is an ideal situation. In Blyth the theatre is part of the community and the community is part of the theatre. There is a caring and sharing concern here and the two entities always'work together. Katherine believes that she is responsible to the audience at all times, even at therocery store. The Blyth theatre is for the local people. "Here people can come and feel comfortable with the whole experience," she said. Unlike many large theatres, • the Blyth Festival strives to make the theatre access- ible to the people. The Festival, Katherine explained, believes that it's important to make the community feel connected and feel a closeness to the theatre. Janet Amos said that the Blyth theatre's health depends omits accessibility to the people. She's 'excited by the fact that in its 10 year history, the theatre has become an integral part of the community. Many children, have always known the theatre and it's quite normal for them. Recently a grade seven class from Hullett Central School toured the festival. But the majority of the students had been to the theatre before and had seen children's programs as well as regular plays. The theatre should be just as accessible as sports and just as normal," Janet said. Like Janet, the new artistic director is also supportive of offering children the opportun- ity to see and understand the theatre. Last year Katherine supervised the children's workshop at Blyth: In the past summer seasons at Blyth Katherine was • primarily involved with directing and stage managing. She worked on plays such as Down North, Country Hearts and Maritime Faces. She has returned to Blyth time and time again to be part of the high quality performances that were being staged and the enjoyment that actdrs'and 'crew found in their work. She was one of 30 who applied for the position of artistic director and one of five to be interviewed by the board of directors. Board member Sheila Richards said applications were received from across Canada and the high calibre of the applicants was incredible. Choosing a successor to Janet Amos was a difficult task and the .board did a great deal of soul searching before making their choice, Sheila explained, Sheila said Katherine Kaszas, was chosen because she has a real feeling for Blyth. She understands the theatre's responsibility for the community and the commitment to produce Canadian works. Katherine also has the ability to get things done and is able, not only to direct, but also to develop new material. Another board member Joan Chandler added, "Katherine has that' incredible enthusiasm to carry on producing quality plays that will keel/ people coming back." Katherine's reaction to her new position is one of sheer delight. She was completely convinced that she hadn't got the job, but when the call came, "they had to peel me off the ceiling," she said. Katherine is also excited about the idea of KATHERINE KASZAS establishing roots in Blyth. Since her graduation with a BEA (Honors) in theatre from York University, Katherine's work has taken her across Canada many times: She has directed at theatres in Winnipeg, Thunder Bay, Saskatoon, Toronto, and Grand Bend. Now living in Toronto, Katherine is anxious toe settle in at Blyth." MITCHELLS PURE APPLE JUICE Of 48 oz.
