Theatre Circle • names winners Three winners have been announc- ed as part of the The Theatre Circle's "bad day on the job" competition. The contest was announced last fall by the theatre company as part of its plans to collect stories of work ex- periences for a new comedy play T.G.I.F. (Thank God It's Friday) be- ing written by Uwe Meyer and Keith Roulston. The play deals with the pro- blems fount ay wi be presented April 18 to 20 at Blyth Memorial Hall before go- ing on tour to Petrolia, Chatham and Owen Sound. Mrs. Erland Greenwood of Listowel, Karen Wyld of Ripley and Paul Carroll of Seaforth were named co -winners of the prize. Their's were among a dozen very funny stories submitted about work experiences. •'We felt the three stories selected gave the most opportunity for transfer to the stage," explained Roulston. "While all the stories were very humourous, many would be im- possible to translate to the stage without losing most of the humour. As the play changes in writing and rewriting, even these may not appear in the final product but they've given us inspiration along the way.' Each of the winners will receive two sets of vouchers for the upcom- ing season which begins with a pro- duction of the comedy -thriller One Night Stand on March 7-9. The subscription campaign for the upcoming season is now underway. Volunteers will be selling the subscription voucher packages at $12 tor two plays or they are available from the Theatre Circle box office: Box 429 Blyth, Ont. or by calling 523-9173.
