Playhouse looks for new director GRAND BEND - Artistic director Sandy Macdonald will not be re- turning to the Huron Country Play- house after a financially disastrous summer season. The board of direc- tors decided not to renew his con- tract and are looking for a new di- rector. Playhouse general manager Tim Davisson confirmed that the theatre faces a substantial deficit this fall, even though the 1987 season turned a surplus. "I think we're going to go after some fund-raising appeals to get us through to next year," said Davis - son, noting that some of last year's surplus went to reupholstering the main stage seats and to renovations in the farm house where the Young Company rehearsed. Without air conditioning in either of the two theatres, Davisson said some of the audience were kept away during the August heat. Fans were installed in the main stage last year, but air conditioning is not feasible in the poorly -sealed converted barn. Davisson hopes funds can be found to install air conditioning in Playhouse Two, where a low ceiling prevents the use of fans. "We just have to hope it's not go- Alhambras By Roberta Walker GRAND BEND - Algarva #168 of the Order of Alhambra have been very busy so far this fall, and have still more events scheduled. They held their annual "Church Collec- tion" after all Masses on Labour Day weekend at the Grand Bend and Forest churches, collecting over $1,700 for their charity, the mental- ly handicapped of our community.. Grand Commander Martie Kelders would like to thank Sirnoble Ed Mommerstecg, who organized the collection, and Fathers Beck and McManus for their support. The annual "Teen -Dance" was held on September 24 at the Taxan- dria Hall, and so many kids crowded in they had to close the doors at 10 p.m. This event not only provides area youth with a supervised good time, but is also one of the best fund raisers of the Alhambra, about $3,000 this year. Thanks to all Sirnobles and Sultanas who helped out. The nomination and election meeting was held September 24 at the Alhambra Hall. Most of the Si ::obles and their Sultanas attend- ing to be as hot next year," he said. In order to remain solvent the Playhouse will be looking for more provincial and federal funding and for better box office receipts. "1 definitely don't want to increase ticket prices," said Davisson, adding that the season's playbill was also a cause of poor sales: "I don't think we can just blame the weather," he said. Davisson described Windfall as the best production of the season, but pointed out it had a lower bud- get as an unknown play. The ad- ministration knew it would not bring capacity crowds to the 700 - seat theatre. Bruce Woodley, a member of the Playhouse board of directors, ex-. plained that the board decided not to renew their option on Macdonald's contract because box office sales were down "significantly" compared , to previous years. Woodley said the 1989 season is likely to be more family-oriented than this year's performances. "There weren't a lot of things you could take children to," he said. While Macdonald came into "nor- mal, everyday conflict" with some of the Playhouse staff, Woodley in- sisted "Sandy had many good quail - raise $3,000 ed the evening, enjoying a delicious roast beef dinner. Special guests included Louis Prieur, Grand Com- mander of Garcia #230, MacGregor, Yvan Gawvin, DRD of Guezera #72, and Bill Cassidy, Grand Com- mander of Guezera #72, Windsor.

Macdonald left the Playhouse on September 10, 20 days before his contract expired. An advertisement has been placed in the Actor's Equity magazine and the selection of a new director will begin on October 31. Woodley said the hiring process will be carried out as quickly as possible to get the 1989 season under way. Woodley confirmed Key for Two was the best -attended play of the season, something which surprised hirn, but he wasn't prepared to lay any blame on the hot weather. "I honestly don't fault the heat that much," he said, pointing out that Mercer Beaucoup fell in the hottest part of the year, but still at- tracted many bus tours. The board will be looking careful- ly at plays for the new season be- fore approval. Woodley said some of the responsibility for the poor 1988 season has to rest with the board because they approved Macdo- nald's selections. Adventure in dining at Oakwood Inn By Roberta Walker GRAND BEND - A glittering crowd was on hand to help Barbara Gower celebrate "A New Adventure In Dining" at Oakwood Inn last Sunday evening. Patrons were greeted by Barbara and owner David Scatchard for a truly special feast. Black and white balloons and black and silver ribbons, and twinkle lights glittering from potted trees, added a touch of discreet elegance to the gala affair. The diners began their feast with a bacon and walnut pate on home- made melba toast, followed by smoked rabbit in an extravagant green tossed salad, and a grapefruit sorbet to cleanse the palate, all served with the appropriate white wine. A full-bodied red accompa- nied a wild game buffet of duck,. roasted buffalo and wild boar, veni- son stew and rather -exotic fresh vegetables, each with its own sauce or garnish. There was white wine for the dessert, a delicious white and dark chocolate mousse, incompara- bly rich and decadent, to end a fabu- lous meal! Barbara Gower introduced her kitchen staff, who helped prepare the feast. She made special men- tion of her family there, her hus- band Lonnie, parents and siblings who have always supported her, es- pecially during those three uncertain years when she moved from Detroit to Canada and entered the gourmet - health food line. Now her family was on hand to celebrate her sue - cess. . Peter Bacon and his B/G Little , Band, Chris Robinson on saxo- phone axophone and clarinet, and Denise Pe - ley, vocalist, provided great music for the guests from soulful blues to mellow jazz to hot rock and roll, they could listen or dance to but al- ways would enjoy! Barb presented her Thanksgiving menu of roast turkey with apple al- mond stuffing or honey glazed ham, available on Sunday and Monday. The menu promises another feast for the discriminating diner, -so make your reservations now. She also intends to change the Oakwood menu quarterly,for each season, to offer a wider range appropriate for warmer or cooler weather. Everyone bade farewell to Kevin and Marilyn Snook , of the Thirsty Fox, who will be leaving the Grand Bend community to open a new re- sort in St. Lucia, in the Caribbean. - Thcy have a good manager in place at"theThirsty Fox, but will be re- . turning occasionally to say hello. On behalf of all the patrons, Barba- ra wished them good luck in their new enterprise. The evening continued as the crowd danced -to the music of Peter Bacon and congratulated Barb Gow- er and_ Dave Scatchard on a "night to remember."
