The Lucknow Sentinel, 1985-10-09, Page 11Vouchers for 1986 Blyth
Festival season go on sale
Vouchers for the 1986 season of the audience attendance of over 90 per cent,
Blyth Festival wil be on sale after
Thanksgiving. They will cost $28. for 4
admissions, or the equivalent of $7 per
show; a saving of up to 30 per cent over the
price of a regular single ticket next
summer: Last season, demand for the
vouchers was so great (up 100 per .cent)
that the Festival actually :ran out of forms.
Voucher holders have .the advantage of
being able to exchange vouchers for tickets
ahead of the general public, thus ensuring
excellent seats.
The current season finished very well,
with . four. .of, the , season's five plays
averaging over 75 per cent capacity.,
Primrose School District 109 provided the
box office success . with an average
closely followed by Garrison's Garage
(88.60 per cent) and Moose County (86.37
per cent).
"lam very happy with my first season as
Artistic Director," said Katherine Kaszas.
"We did three completely new plays, one
bilingual play (blench -English), and
brought back last year's hit. Doing new
plays is a very risky business and it's
•always exciting when our theatregoers
demonstrate their approval for the choices
we've made." •
Vouchers fornext year can be purchased
from mid-October through the Bluth
Festival Box Office (523-9300 or 9225) or in
person; Monday - Friday, 9 a.m. -. 5 p.m.;
VISA and Mastercard are accepted.

The Blyth Festival's 1984 blockbuster
premiere production : of Cake -Walk, by
Colleen .Curran . will, be back in 1986,

nounced today. Cake -Walk will open in
mid-August as the .final production of the
Blyth Festival's 1986 season, and will then
go on. tour during September and October.
Described by reviewers as a "recipe for
sheer enjoyment", "sweet entertain-
ment", "pleasing concoction", and "has
ingredients for Blyth hit", Cake -Walk was
the top seller of the Festival's 1984 season,
averaging over 91 per cent capacity! The
. action takes. place- in a hotel .in a small
, town, during, the annual Canada, Day cele-
,brations. Five • unlikely Contestants are
pitted against each other in the cake -walk
competition - and their attempts to win, by
fair means or foul, provide the hilariously
funny plot. Cake -Walk went on • to . be
produced in 1985 at the Kawartha Summer
Festival and will be showcased by the Blyth
'Festival at the Ontario Arts Council's
Contact 86 this month. •
