Lloyd is artistic director

Familiar face back at Playhouse
By Wayne Proctor
GRAND BEND - The Huron
Country Playhouse will have a
somewhat familiar face as artistic
director for the 1989 season. •
Anthony Lloyd. who directed 'Key
for Two' last year and performed in
'Sleuth' in 1984 at the Huron Coun-
try Playhouse, was formally named
artistic director for the upcoming
season at a press conference, in
Grand Bend on Thursday.
Lloyd is currently artistic and
managing director for the Sudbury
Theatre Centre. He will end his 13 -
year stay in Sudbury in May when
he takes over full .time in Grand
Bend. -
Lloyd said he thought about tak-
ing offers from other theatres but
chose Grand Bend because it in-
volves working only six months of
the year and he said he wants to
travel for the other six months with
his wife. .
Welsh -born Lloyd has continually
been active in performing arts, hav-
ing
aving begun his career in England be-
fore emigrating to Canada in 1954.
As an actor/director, Lloyd has
worked in theatres across Canada,
from Vancouver to Halifax, and he
has also done work in radio and tel-
evision.
Lloyd is best know as the found-
ing artistic director of the Sudbury
theatre, and his direction has taken
Sudbury's first professional theatre
to the success it enjoys today:
He said he hopes to bring the
same success to the Huron Country
Playhouse.
"Our main objective is to enter-
tain people and double our subscrip-
tion rate," said Lloyd. Getting
4,000 subscriptions is not totally
unrealistic according to Lloyd.
Lloyd signed a two-year commit-
ment with the Huron Country Play-
house, with an option to renew at
the end of two years.
Chairman of the Board of Direc-
tors, Bruce Woodley is happy about
obtaining Lloyd.
"I am absolutely ecstatic about it.
We had over 30 applications for the
job, some were sent in and some
we actively sought and Tony's was
one we sought and are very happy
to have him," said Wo •'cy.
• Woodley also said h very hap
py with the plays that Lloyd has
chosen for the upcoming season.
They are Agatha Christies'Witness
for the Prosecution', from June 27 -
July 15, Ray Cooney's 'Run for
Your Wife', July 18 -July 29, Neil
Simon's 'Last of the Red Hot Lov-
ers', August 1 -August 12 and Rod-
gers and Hammerstein's 'Thc King
and I', August 15 -September 2.
Lloyd said he chose those plays
because "they weren't risky -and of-
fe�r-•and—wide' rangi t- e--nfertarn-
ment." He added he was very excited
about doing 'The King and I', call-
ing it a "blockbuster" and. "break
the bank" production..
He also hopes to involve as many
local actors as he can but said he is
limited because of an actors' union.
Only 20 percent of the actors in a
production can be non-union accord-
ing to Lloyd.
Whcn asked if he was going to be
on stage in any productions this
year Lloyd jokingly said "I would
like to but we are not paying salar-
ies to afford actors like me."
Having worked at Grand Bend
both as an actor and director, Lloyd
feels it is a great privilege to carry
on with the great love of his life -
• theatre.
"My philosophy about thcatrc in
one word is entertainment. That's
what I hope to produce for the pa-
trons of the Huron Country Play-
house. If audiences leave entertained
then we have achieved our objec-
tive. Sumpter thcatrc and entertain-
ment arc synonymous. Summer
thcatrc and Huron Country Play-
house arc also synonymous," -said
Lloyd.

Letter to
the Editor
Dear -Sirs:
At the request of the person who
was sentenced, 1 am sending -you -
his response -to the letters and re-
port of the court case of November
8th,' 1988, and I hope that you will
find room to .print it!
Rev. Karel Teddy Smits
• Sd Easy! •
It's so easy to criticize what other
people do,
To stand aside condemning if a
thing looks wrong to you... -
It's so easy to pass judgement_ from
an easy chair,
Weighing up a burden that: you
never had to bear.
It's so easy to give directions to
the other guy,
His difficulties to dispose of and
his life to`map.
It's so -easy to see whcreritlteu pco
plc lose their way
pointing out just how and
where and why they went astray.
It's so easy to throw a stone at
somconc else's hack,
It's so easy to moralize, to blame
and to attack. •
It's so easy to talk, but it's a harder
thing to do... •
to lend a helping hand and to take a
charitable view.
From a person sentenced already....
Stanton F. Wilson, Stratford
