Singers marks the first event in the celebra-
tion of the Christmas season. This year the
choir will present two performances in
Memorial Hall on Sunday, December 1 at 3
p.m. and 8 p.m.
For their concert, the choir will be perfor-
ming a variety of works that differ in style
and time. Included in the repetoire are
unusual arrangements of familiar
Christmas carols by the well-known British
composers David Willcocks and John Rut-
ter, a number of sacred Christmas pieces
new to our audiences, as well as familiar
Christnias songs. Throughout the program
will be carol sing-alongs which -the audience
is invited to join.
The Festival Singers are directed 'by
Laurie Rowbotham ot Listowel and accom-
panied by Louise McGregor of Clinton.
Part of the Singers' traditional Christmas
concert has been the inclusion of a
childrens' choir and this year the choir is
pleased to have the Elma Township Public
School Choir under, the direction of Lori
Nelson perform With them. Lori was a
member of the Listowel High School Chorus.
under Mr. Rowbotham.
In this concert of traditions, the choir in-
vites the audience to join in the carol sing -
along and also share in the mulled cider and
Christmas goodies in the lower hall follow-
ing each performance: Tickets at $5 and
$1:50 for this family concert can be obtained
from the theatre box office at 523-9300, at the
Blyth Saga at 523-4331, or from members of
the Blyth Festival Singers.
Festival vouchers now on sale.
Vouchers for the 1986 season of the
Blyth, Festival are now on sale. Adult
vouchers cost $28.00 for four admissions, a;
very slight increase over 1985 prices but,
still a saving of up .to 30 per • cent over
single ticket prices. Vouchers for children
under 14 remain at the low price of $12.00
for four admissions.
The low price of Blyth Festival vouchers
combined with their flexibility make them a
great gift idea. For example, with one
voucherpack one person can go to the
theatre four times, a couple twice, or a
family of four once - the more, vouchers
purchased, the more times you can attend,
and the greater the overall savings! In the •
spring, vouchers are exchanged for the
play or plays you want to see,ion the dates
you wantto attend. Voucher holders also
get to exchange their vouchers for tickets
ahead of the general public, giving them
•'the jump on the best seats. If you are
considering giving'vouchers as aChristmas
• gift consider giving us the name of the
recipient when you order, so that we can be
•
sure that .they receive our brochure next..
spring. A voucher pack of four:admissions
can also be split up to create gifts for more
than one person. If you de that, we'd like
than
names too!
The 1986 season will contain five plays in
total - four new ones' which are in the,
process of being created right now and will'
be 'announced next spring, and which will
play in repertory during, June, July and
August, as well as a return of Colleen
Curran's comedy Cakewalk, which was the
hit of the 1984 season. Cakewalk will play
in the final slot of the season, frOm the end
•of August to mid-September.
Last year, the sale of vouchers was so
brisk that the Festival actually ran out of
the printed forms! We anticipate voucher
sales for the coming year will again be
popular, so don't leave it too late to buy
yours,
