again - this marks the second show
that has sold out before it’s
opened” said Joel Harris, General
Manager.
“There are only a handful of

Local women attend
Westminister weekend
About 30 members of Huron-
Perth United Church Women, in
cluding June Fothergill of Londes-
boro, were among those attending
Westminster Weekend in London,
June 9-11. They heard the true
stories of a woman who has
regained a sense of wholeness after
a failed marriage, and of a teenage
incest survivor.
Shirley Endicott, of Toronto,
author of “Facing the Tiger”, was
the featured speaker, telling her
own story with all its problems, as
well as that of a young friend
abused as an infant. She described
the feelings of worthlessness and
despair, and also the difficult and
painful process of recovery. She
stated that there were four steps
involved, but that transition hous
es, such as Optimism Place, Strat
ford, and Friendship House, God
erich, were frequently able to help
women in taking only the first of
these.
Those at the conference were
BRENT
Love Mom, Dad, Dwayne
Colleen Curran’s popular play,
‘Miss Balmoral of the Bayview’.
Our 15th anniversary season in
1989, promises to be our most
successful ever. The majority of our
matinee performances are close to
being sold-out but there are many
good seats available for evening
shows - especially in August.”
The Right One by Bryan Wade
tells the story of Phillip and Lisa -
the day of their wedding. The
groom is plagued by last-minute
jitters as he and his best man await
urged to become sensitive to the
sufferings of other women, and to
stand in solidarity with them as
they struggled through the various
stages. It was pointed out that
acknowledging one’s own hurts
and problems had a therapeutic
value for others - women can help
one another. They can also publi
cize the new Trans-Canada Hot
Line for Youth up to age 18, which
has been established. The number
is 1-800-668-6868.
Worship was conducted by Rev.
Ruth Butt of Woodstock, and
Marion Kirkwood of Toronto taught
songs that had proved helpful to
women in difficulty. The confer
ence is an annual event sponsored
by London Conference United
Church Women. This year, over
100 women from all parts of the
Conference enjoyed the fellowship,
food, fun, inspiration and chal
lenge.
