SEAFORTH 527-1803 I 1 FIENSALL AND AREA Theatre review 'Lily' engrossing, lively, fun How does one begin to describe Idly, Alberta? The latest play to be staged at the Blyth Festival is many things. It's exhilarat- ing, innovative, dramatic, engrossing, lively, fun. Lilly, Alberta is top notch theatre both in its story and its presentation. W titer Kenneth Dyba and director Richard Rose have created a mesmerizing story in Lilly. Lilly is the story of a small prairie town and its inhabitants. Presented in vignette form, the story is a compelling one of the desolute little town, the hardships of the people and the matriarch who rules and ruins their lives. A complex and. challenging story, Lilly is presented in the style not unlike that told by Thorton W ilder in his classic play Tominimum. Like Our Town, Ully employs a of scenery and the central character remains on stage throughout the play to help explain much of the action. The strength of Lilly is not solely in its script, but in its riveting presentation. One of the largest casts to take to the Blyth stage.a featured... this play. Some 19 actors is in actors take part in Lilly and this play presents them with the opportunity to test and display two and three -characters in production. The acting skills displayed are exceptional, particularly those of Nancy Roberts and Laurel Paetz. in one scene, Nancy is on stage as an innocent Young girl. in another. the vampish, French -perfumed adultress. Laurel is an old Indian woman in one instance, a love-lorn young woman in another, then her crotchety old mother in yet another scene. Lilly has not only given Blythtesti l a veterans a new challenging play, features some promising young talent. Tom Bailey of Blyth, Laureen Craig of Clinton, Kevin Bundy and Brad Milburn, both of Goderich, are featured in a variety of challenging roles. Laureen is given the opportunity to both sing and act. Tom takes on two roles as a young boy and a cat. Brad plays a dog and a singing canary and Kevin shows great potential tough an actor m his kid i e of Dim Denny,with a oessbo for liquor. fire and magazines passion for liquor, fire with pictures off pretty girls. Idly, Alberta is an ambitious production. While it uses a minimal amount of scenery, that which is used is done so with great s and creativity. The audience readily appre- ciated the original use of scenery and offered rounds of applause when, for instance, the train rolled into town, illustrated by the use of several painted umbrellas, fthe effectively sed to portraythebigwheelslumbering engines. And too, there are wonderful sound effects in Lilly, all supplied by the behind -the -scenes cast members, The script for Lilly is rich and powerful. However, in presenting this play with fast faced vignettes, it is sometimes easy to momentarily lose track of the characters and the scenes. Still, Lally, Alberta is an exceptional play, the best to be staged at the Blyth Festival this season. Morris to honor rent agreement. Morris Township Council will honor an agreement to rent the old shed and hall to Robert Harkness Millwork, despite a dispute over repairs to the roof. Council decided at their July 29 meeting to honor the agreement as previously prepared, with the addition of a clause that authorizes council to notify the ter.ants with three months notice if the agreement is to be suspended. Mr. Harkness requested the roof be repaired before moving his equipment into the building. The council was not prepared to make costly repairs to the roof, as they feel the roof can be repaired with tarring. Tenants were to be notified repair for the roof would cost less than $200 per year. DRAIN READING The reading for the Parker Drain report Was held, with the following landowners in attendance: Wilfred Shortreed, Wallace Nicholson, Ken Shortreed, Donald McLen- naghan and Jim Phelan. Councillor Bert Elliott declared a pecuniary interest and left his chair at the council table to join the landowners. Mr. Elliott is assessed into the drainage works for the Parker Drain. Mr. McLennaghan questioned why a new catch basin was to be installed on both sides of the laneway at the north half Lot 18, Concession 9. He also questioned his acreage assessed. Bert Elliott felt his acreage should be 40, not 50 acres, as stated in the report. Mr. Elliott was concerned with the maintenance schedule. Some landowners thought Ernest Parker and Bruce Richmond should be paying a greater share of the costs. Mr. Johnson explained the purpose of the report is to remove the surface water from Ken Shortreed's land, as the water is damaging the trees. Some landowners said the problem of a high water table started after Bruce Rich- mond filled in the open ditch on his land, replacing it with eight -inch and 10 -inch tile. Jim Phelan questioned his acreage on the maintenance schedule. Council passed a motion referring the report back to Johnson Engineering Consul - THE HURON EXPOSITOR, AUGUST 6, 1988 — A5 tants, Stratford for the review of the area and to reconsider the assessments.
