Keith Savage back for
his 18th season at Huron
Country Playhouse
Lynda Hillman-Rapley

When veteran actor Keith Savage
steps onto the Huron Country Play-
house (HCPH) stage you can hear whis-
tles and whoops of joy. And why is that?
For the past 18 years, there has not
been a season where Savage has not
graced that stage in one or two
productions.
Savage is an incredible physical
comedian. He has a special gift for
making hysterically funny productions
even funnier. Savage is all gangly legs
and rubbery arms. The desperate antics
of the guy are sheer physical genius. His
talents take the song and dance actor to
insurmountable heights and there is no
question why he is a long time HCPH
favourite.
Unnecessary Farce and Anything
Goes are two such shows where you
will see this incredible actor this
summer.
From a youngster growing up in Vir-
ginia, Savage has acted or sang or both.
School, community theatre, church -
he has always loved the stage, even to
the point of being the president of the
school drama club.
As a career, Savage thought maybe he
would teach music. In a barter system,

where he would mow the lawn, he took
voice lessons in Minneapolis. His
teacher was John Bullock, actor Sandra
Bullock's dad.
25 years ago, in 1991 Savage arrived
in New York. He landed a part in Show-
boat and for four and a half years that
show became his home. The produc-
tion finally got to a Washington DC
stage and his parents were able to see
their son on stage and were able to
finally put to rest for the family Baptist
Church congregation - exactly what
that Savage kid did for a living and that
he was not "carnival trash."
In 1999 he found himself on the
Huron Country Playhouse.
"It was difficult telling my parents
what I was doing theatre in the middle
of a corn field," he laughed, saying
today, 18 years later, he loves coming
back to Grand Bend.
Ironically, the first play he did here
was Anything Goes with actress Susan
Gilmour (Mother Superior in Sister
Act). Gloria Day was interim artistic
director.
Savage is the only actor who has
done 18 years in a row on this stage.
"I am fortunate to be here. I love this
theatre," he said.
Savage remembers the pre -renova-
tion days when there was one wash-
room for the actors, no air conditioning
and a hot green room and in the middle
of a corn field to boot:'
Savage's inspiration came from
Dan Siretta, director, performer,
choreographer.
This man was the resident choreogra-
pher for the Good Speed Opera House
and this is where Savage got his equity
card.
As well as Anything Goes, Savage is in
Unnecessary Farce, an arresting com-
edy of errors that chronicles the outra-
geous events that unfold while two
bumbling cops are on a career -making
stakeout. Savage plays a neurotic secu-
rity guard and well, let' s just say things
happen:'
"I love doing farces," he says, "They
are hard to rehearse- big monologues,
very physical. It takes a toll, but it is
great fun."

Unnecessary Farce - June
15th to July 2nd
Anything Goes - July 21 to August 6
