Village Squire, 1975-01, Page 27role of a very different sort, Captain Braze, a
doubtful soldier and equally doubtful suitor in
Trumpets and Drums.
One of Canada's most brilliant comic
talents, Tom Kneebone, joins the Acting
Company as Feste in Twelfth Night, the
Dauphin in Saint Joan and Sergeant Kite, the
irrepressible and slightly shady recruiter in
Trumpets and Drums. Mr. Kneebone last
summer- wrote, produced and starred in the
revue Gilbert and Sullivan Tonight at Niagara
-On-The-Lake. He is at present recovering
from a leg injury sustained in ?n automobile
accident in Newfoundland during his recent
Tour with Dinah Christie in their Noel
Coward -Cole Porter Concert. While the
remainder of the Tour has been cancelled
due to the accident, an engagement with the
Hamilton Symphony at Hamilton Place in
March will take place as scheduled.
A newcomer to the Festival Company,
Stephen Macht will be seen as Claudio in
Measure for Measure, Dunois in Saint Joan,
Orsino in Twelfth Night and as John Proctor
in The Crucible. The young actor's most
recent stage role was the lead in When Are
You Coming Back Red Rider at the East Side
Playhouse in New York and he has appeared
in such other New York productions as
Lvsistrata with Melina Mercouri and Vivat,
Vivat Regina! with Eileen Atkins. Off-Broad-
way work included Trigorin in The Seagull
and he was seen in the New York
Shakespeare Festival productions of Anthony
and Cleopatra and Troilus and Cressida.
West Coast actor Frank Maraden joins the
Festival Acting Company as Froth in Measure
for Measure and Sir Andrew Aguecheek in
Twelfth Night. The young performer's stage
credits include Hank in Queer Sights,
Hedderly in Dutch Uncle and Hamlet in
Rozencrantz and Guildernstern Are Dead for
Vancouver's Playhouse Theatre and he has
appeared in a wide variety of productions
with Edmonton's Citadel Theatre, the Arts
Club Theatre and Frederic Wood Theatre in
Vancouver, the Asolo Theatre in Florida and
with the Performing Arts Company at
Michigan State University.
Marti Maraden (in private life Mrs. Frank
Maraden), will appear as J uliet in Measure
for Measure, Olivia in Twelfth Night and
Marry Warren in The Crucible. She will be
remembered as Katharine in Love's Labour's
Lost and as Antiochus' daughter in Pericles at
Stratford last summer, which marked her first
Festival engagment.
Nicholas Pennell, touring with Stratford
this winter as the fickle suitor Proteus in Two
Gentlemen and Antipholus of Syracuse in
Comedy of Errors will add a third role during
the Season, that of Mr. Worthy, a much more
faithful suitor, in Trumpets and Drums.
In her first appearance with the Festival;
Kathleen Widdoes will appear as Mariana in
Measure for Measure and as Viola in Twelfth
Night. Celebrated as a film and stage actress
of great range and charm, Miss Widdoes
appeared as Rosalind in the New York
Shakespeare Festival production of As You
Like It and Beatrice in their Much Ado About
Nothing, which followed its initial presenta-
tion with a successful Broadway run and was
filmed for network showing by CBS -Televi-
sion.
VV'e're strumming
a happy tune
for a Yule that's
filled with love, peace.
Thanks for your good will.
