The four of us already have done a lot of performing and we miss it. So we got together a.cl decided to put on our own show." Having done a Christmas show in Wingham this. past year, Fair sug- gested that his home area might be the place to do it. They have been involved with all aspects of the production from hiring the band to-choreographing. Despite his young age Fair brings a broad range of experience to the stage. Not only is he familiar to many in the area through his years with the school's Drama Guild pro- ductions, but he appeared in Anne of Green Gables at the Charlottetown Festival at the age of 10, was in the Stratford Festival production of Gypsy and A Christmas Carol at The Grand in London. This summer, he and Evans have lead roles in Canada's Wonderland's main stage production Graveyard Shift. Rehearsals for it begin the week before Good Times. -Tickets for the Blyth show can be purchased by calling 357-2096 or at Gibson's Men's Wear, or Ernie King's in Wingham.
