Blyth Festival has phenomenal year
"1988 has been a phenomenal one for the Fires in the Night which drew a 92 percent
Blyth Festival", says outgoing President, capacity audience. All in all, with 101 perfor-
Marian Doucette. mantes this summer, the theatre had a 82
percent capacity, a 2 percent increase from
last year. "The popularity of our plays com-
bined with a continued effort to provide ex-
cellence in performers and production,
reflects Katherine Kaszas's expertise as one
of the finest young Artistic Directors in
Canada", says Board President, Marian
Doucette.
The Blyth Festival ended its season with a
surplus of $1,125 and the Board announced
that the total operation budget for the entire
organization and all activities will be in the
neighbourhood of $1 million. 1988 proved to
be the most successful year yet in fundrais-
ing for the Blyth Festival, with over
$107,000.00 raised for operating funds. Each
"In addition to mounting our most popular
and longest running summer season to date,
we continued to expand our new play
development program, extended our On-
tario touring circuit, increased our
memberships and fundraising base, and
successfully executed more fundraising
events in a single season than ever before.
More important, we witnessed a tremen-
dous outpouring of support for this organiza-
tion from individuals right across the coun-
try, enabling us to break ground on our
capital expansion pro]ect." The Blyth Cen-
tre for the Arts Annual General Meeting was
held at the home of Wayne Caldwell on
Thursday, December 8th. The following peo-
ple were elected to the 1988/89 Board of
Directors for the Blyth Centre for the Arts:
Carol Irwin, President (Blyth); Marian
Doucette, Past -President (Clinton) ; Gayle
Waters, Vice -President (Bayfield); Wayne
Caldwell, Vice -President (Goderich); Don
McCaffrey, Treasurer (Exeter); Mary
Gregg, Secretary (Goderich); Sheila
Richards (Brussels); Lois van Vliet
(Blyth); Margaret Webster (Wingham);
Carol McDonnell (Blyth); Helen Gowing
(Blyth); Carrie Salsbury (Clinton); Amber
Underwood (Wingham); and Ann Coulter
(Godericb). Newly elected Board members
Anne Elliott (Blyth); Wayne Phibbs
(Wingham) and Doug Whitmore (Blyth)
were welcomed to the Board of Directors.
Last summer, over 43,000 people enjoyed
outstanding plays at the Blyth Festival. hi
addition, Bordertown Cafe by Kelly Rebar
was performed over 50 times in the course of
nineweeks, stopping in 17 communities
across Ontario. Including the Bordertown
tour, it is estimated that over 65,000 people
saw a Blyth Festival production this year.
The most popular plays at the Blyth
Festival proved to be The Cookie War and
of the five plays were sponsored by corpora-
tions as well as the art gallery, writers' and
children's workshop, poster and tour. A
membership of almost 1,000 included over
225 patrons and 26 individual performance
sponsors. With October came the announce-
ment from the federal Department of Com-
munications through Murray Cardiff, MP of
their commitement of $450,000 to the Capital
Expansion project with ground being
broken in late November.
"As the new years begins, our capital ex-
pansion program is well underway; ogr
theatre season, new play development pro-
gram, youth workshops and many other ac-
tivities are all growing and exciting an-
nouncements will be made in February
about our 15th anniversary season and ac-
tivities" said Marian Doucette.
