The Citizen, 2009-09-03, Page 23The Blyth Festival Young
Company gives teenagers, 13-19, the
chance to create a play over five
weeks. During the summer, the
teenagers create, rehearse and
perform the play, with training and
guidance from professional director
Rebecca Picherack, dramaturge Gil
Garratt and acting coach Claire
Burns.
This year, the members hail from
all over Huron County. Nathanya
Barnett is from Goderich; Beth
Beardsley, Dan Moran and CJ
Bouwman are from Wingham;
Regan Bezaire, Katey Bornath,
Liese Bornath, Reuben Elliot-Fisher,
Amelia MacIsaac, TJ Robertson and
Curtis te Brinke are all from Clinton;
Sadie Chalmers and Alanna Roy are
from Blyth; and Curtis Hall is from
the town of Egmondville.
Last year the Young company
entered homes in the Blyth
community and interviewed the
residents about lies, rebellion, fear
and community. This year, the
Company invites the public into their
home.
House Hold explores teenage
autonomy and authority as seven
teenagers hold up in a safe house
during a global disaster. One day,
seven others find them and throw
their safe haven into chaos.
How will these 14 teenagers cope
with fear, tolerance, scarcity and
goodwill? Will good government be
the order of the day?
Performances of the Young
Company show House Hold will be
from Sept. 8 - Sept. 12 at 7 p.m. at
the Phillips Studio, located at 209
Dinsley St., Blyth.
