And I live only three miles from the theatre's door step, for • heaven's sake One might wonder how a theatre with such a limited range of advertising in an already limited theatrically minded area could survive. But now they have success- fully completed their fourth season with only an eight thousand dollar debt breath• lug down their neeks. A theatre, any theatre, needs an audience; a large audience every night to simply break even. Only through massive advertising can it draw an audience that will fill its house. Massive advertising costs money. The 'house at Blyth holds four hundred people. A good night is of course a full house—four hundred, But an average is two hundred. I have seen as few as forty faithful stragglers' file in that theatre. They are exuberant at first because they can pick any seat they want. But they soon feel uncomfortable because they know that tonight the theatre isn't pulling in enough, looney to even fill the actors' plates. This year'.audiences are looking up (critics are looking down). I don't believe it ever hit below ninety. This may sound good for a small village like Blyth, but if you knew that one EGG light bulb in one ' farnell cost thirty-six dollars and , you stop to think that it takes nearly twelve people from the audience to pay for that one light bulb...then you know it is all sweat and debt. This season I held the position of "techie" or P,A. (Production assistant). The glamour of the stage burns low at the stroke of one o'clock in the morning; or doing the same scene change in the same dark blackness. for the fifteenth time. Still you wring your hands; you read and re-read your stage notes; panic stricken lest you have forgotten something vital that would throw an actor or change the entire plot of the thing. The twelve and fifteen hour days are broken only by lunch breaks 'which may not arrive until midnight—if they indeed arrive. And then there are the eighteen and twenty and even twenty-two hour days; fondly known as 'all fighters'. Those days can mean only one thing: a deadline—the approach of a new opening night. Food and baths and other such menial tasks are pushed aside; they are thieves of time. Now only the ticking of the clock matters. When the deadline has been met, and you are too tired to watch the grand opening, you know it does not matter. You know the show will go on without you. The audience and the actors are enthralled in the magic of the stage; as well they should be. They truly believe the costumes and set appeared, mystically, and Queens Hotel Seaforth Appearing Thurs., Fri. & Sat, VISIONS NEXT WEEK Mon., Tues., Wed., BUSKER Thurs. Fri. & Sat.
