Youth theatre returns to Blyth
The “nearly-famous” DuftleBag
Theatre is coming to Blyth
Memorial Community Hall in
October as part of the Blyth
Festival's Theatre-for-Young-
Audiences program.
DuffleBag Theatre will be
bringing Beauty and the Beast to
the Blyth stage for children (k to
Grade 7) from Oct. 10 - 14 and
Nov. 1 at 10:15 p.m. and on Oct.
15 at 10:15 a.m. For the first time,
the Blyth Festival will also present
a production for students in Grades
8 and 9: DuffleBag Theatre’s
Macbeth on Oct. 15 at 1:15p.m.
DuffleBag Theatre adapts fairy
tales and classic stories by injecting
their unique brand of comedy into
the performance. As the story
begins, the narrator weaves an
enchanting tale when, suddenly, an
unsuspecting audience member is
brought into the show to play one
of the lead roles!
With each performance,
numerous key roles are given to
audience members and the entire
audience participates in this
interactive story-theatre event. By
providing a safe environment for
all participants, the DuffleBag
narrator encourages the spontaneity
that makes everyone of these
highly engaging shows a truly
magical experience.
DuftleBag Theatre’s exceptional
improvisational skills help to create
an unforgettable event for everyone
from ages three to 103! Their
performance of Macbeth will make
Shakespeare clear to understand,
alive and fun.
Tickets for both productions are
only $5 each and everyone is
welcome to attend any
performance. For additional
information on the Blyth Festival’s
Theatre-for-Young Audiences
program, call the Box office at 523-
9300 (local) or 1-877-to-Blyth (toll
free). >

Council has awarded it a grant of
$7,000. These funds will be put
