Festival sales
up 74 percent
The Blyth Festival Box Office has been
bustling with activity since it opened for
voucher and group sales business, with both
showing marked increases.
Voucher sales ate up 74 per cent over this
time last year! Over 1400 adult and 13
children's vouchers have been sold to date,
compared to just under 825 adult and 6
children's vouchers in the same period of
1984. "We are thrilled at the increase" said
General Manager, Brenda Doner. "We had
an excellent season last year and the au-
ences loved it. This is obviously reflected
current sales to date." Moose County, a
zany comedy by Colleen Curran (writer of
last year's hit Cake -Walk) has a slight lead
in ticket sales, closely followed by Primrose
School District 109 by Ted Galay, and Beaux
Gestes And Beautiful Deeds by Marie -Lynn
Hammond.
Group business has also increased over
last year. To date nearly 60 group orders
have been processed, compared with 40 for
the same period last year. In terms of actual
tickets old, this represents 65 per cent of the
total group tickts sold in 1984. Most of the
group bookings have been concentrated on
the Thursday matinees - there are now only
a few tickets left for some performances!
Single tickets go on sale as of May 17.
Ticket buyers are encouraged to buy their
tickets as early as possible this year. With
such a great increase in voucher and group.
bookings, those leaving ticket purchases to
the last minute may be disappointed. Box
Office hotirs from now to June 7 are
Monday -Friday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m. From June 8
to September 14, on performance days the
Box Office is open MondaySaturday, from 9
a.in.-8:30 p.m.; on non-performance days,

share some of that "specialness" with the
rest of the country.!"

season, the cast and crew kr Garage head

season. As a truly regional theatre, TNB
tours every production on a regular basis to
nine locations in the province, so audiences
in towns from St. John to Campbellton will
be able to join in the fun.
The development of close ties between
Theatre New Brunswick and the Blyth
Festival should come as no surprise to those
who know that TNB's new Artistic Director,
Janet Amos, was Artistic Director at the
Blyth Festival for five years. The inclusion
of a Blyth Festival production in Theatre
New Brunswick's season marks the beginn-
ing of what both Amos and Kaszas hope will
become an annual event.
