Singer s ongwriter
turns playwright
BLYTH - Muni -talented is one word that
could be used to describe singer, songwriter
and playwright Marie -Lynn Hammond. Her
latest accomplishinent,Beautiful Deeds.
Marie -Lynn has been singing and writing
songs for the past 14 years, making two
albums that were self -produced and releas-
ed on her own label. She used these talents
to assist her in a new endeavor, playwriting.
Beautiful Deeds, which includes seven
songs from her latest album, is Marie -
Lynn's first play and openly admits that she
didn't know a lot about the theatre before
she began writing.
"The songs .that I had been writing were
not commercial. They were stories about
real people, based on my family. They were
not songs for bars so I need a vehicle for
them and I felt the audience. was in the
theatre," she said, adding, "I wasn't . a
theatre buff before I wrote the play."
Marie -Lynn received a grant from the.
Canada Council four years ago, enabling her
to •research the material she need for the
play which is based on her family.
"1 knew nothing about the theatre and
writing. plays so it went through four
workshops. They were very valuable," she
said.
Marie -Lynn• is thankful •to have the
assistance of John Van'Burek, of the French
language theatre and co-director of
Beautiful, Deeds, and Jackie Maxwell, also
c.o-director and the "guiding force behind
. Marie -Lynn's writing.
Beautiful Deeds was brought to the Blyth
Festival by Artistic Director Katherine
1 has been on tour, opening'
in Toronto last November and then moving
on to Winnipeg. It is a co -production by
Theatre du Flit. Bonheur and the Manitoba
Theatre Centre. It will r.nend this summer in
Blyth and play at the National tarts Centre
next year. '
The play is about Marie -Lynn's family;
• part of which is French. She believes the
play is 80 per cent English and 20 per cent
French. . -
' People 'call it a bilingual . produc-
tion...you don't " need to understand 'any
Jacki Rau, a grade seven student at
Robertson Memorial Public School plays
One of the seven von Trapp children in The
Sound of 'Music at Huron Country
Playhouse.
Opening on Aug. 20 until Sept. 7, this
famous Rodgers and Hammerstein musical
features a cast of'over 30 performers.
This is Jacki's second production at the
Playhouse.
"Two years ago I performed in The
Miracle Worker", says Jacki "and this
season I play Marta, the second youngest
daughter of Captain von Trapp in The Sound
of Music. I've acted in many plays with the
Children's Little Theatre in Goderich and in
school plays. My dancing and piano lessons
come in very handy for this play."
Jacki has two brothers, Jared and Jeff
and claims that she is the first one in her
family to perform on stage.
"I auditioned with my friends Becky
Penn, Jason Dempsey and Tanya Ross",
says Jacki. "At my audition I sang the'song
Wee Willy Winkle. When I' sang that song at
the Walkerton Music Festival last April, I
won first prize. I am really excited about
this play. For weeks and weeks before
rehearsals started I practised my songs
from the record."
The Sound of Music which celebrates the
adventures of the Trapp Family Singers
plays at Huron Country Playhouse from
Aug. 20 to Sept. 7. For ticket information
call 238-8451.
Kaszas. The p ay
•
French to understand the play but it is a
bonus if you do. There are only two songs
done completely in French,. and the melody
carries them," she explained.
Marie -Lynn's father saw the play this
year for the first time and her mother had
seen it in Toronto.
"I was worried how my father would react
because his mother died while.I was young
and.I didn't remember that much about her.
But he said between the writing and acting,
she was brought back to life," Marie -Lynn
said. "My mother was impressed with the
spirit of the two women." -
It is quite a tribute to have a playwright's
first play go on tour and Marie -Lynn gives a
lot of the credit to the actors, actresses and •
directors.
"No one was more surprised than me,"
she said. .
Marie -Lynn wants to try her hand at
another play and has'.a "germ of an idea for
a more conventional second. play with less
songs."
Playwright vs. Singer -Songwriter
"I don't think playwrighting will replace
songwriting because writing songs still
fascinates me," said Marie -Lynn. ,
Marie -Lynn is a self-taught musician who
can play four instruments. She is also a
member to the Stringband which she has
been performing with for a number of years.
The Stringband is considered one of
Canada's first•folk'bands and has played in
Canada, the USSR and Japan. The language
barrier in the USSR and Japan didn't bother
the band's audience. ' ,
"The people love country and western
music. If the lyrics were important, we'd
concentrate on the rhythm...the language
barrier didn't matter.
Marie -Lynn finds writing plays and
writing songs very different.
"A song's format is compact and concise
with the music carrying the weight. In a '
play there is more room to deal with a sub-
ject, but you have to be careful not to lose
the dramatic impact."
Marie -Lynn plans to continue her work in
both areas, entertaining the theatre goers
and the music lovers.
