Have a great weekend!!! Needs big budget...... • •from page IA All in .all, the board raises ap- proximately $25,000 per year for operating expenses at the Blyth Centre for the Arts..' The Centre also receives Ontario Arts Council and Canada Council grants' from the government. The Centre has patrons as well. These are people who contribute $100 or more to the Centre. They have their names listed in each Festival program. Mrs. McAdam says the patrons all come from within a 40- mile radius of Blyth which proves that ' local people are interested in seeing the theatre grow,and prosper. Industry and business, assists and sponsors plays too. This year, Quiet in the Iand was produced. with assistance from Bainton's Ltd; Love or Money was produced with assistance from Labatt's Ontario Breweries Ltd.; Fire on Ice was sponsored by Champion Road Machinery; and He Won't Come in from the Barn was produced with the Iassistance of Goderich ,Elevators, Ltd. Assistance is worth $1,500 and sponsorship is worth $5,000. Memberships are, sold for $5 and this entitles the holder to newsletters and the right to attend and vote at the annual meetings. Everyone who contributes money to Blyth is issued a tax receipt. Mrs. McAdam explains that people look at full -houses at Blyth and think that the theatre is making money but inreality, ticket sales account for only half of the operating funds required. It costs ap- proximately $2,000 per night. to stage a • play depending on the number of actors 'and actresses in it and the elaborateness of props and costumes, etc.. (For example, the magic tricks in the production of Love or Money this season cost extra ). Mrs. McAdam. says a lot of heart, push and work went into the first few seasons at Blyth with board members doing everything from painting sets to selling tickets. There are Clow technical people and an office' staff to do such things but board members stillY P.la an active role. • Besides fund raising, they also help the' house manager to manage every per- formance which includes looking after ushering, etc. " The short summer festival of plays at Blyth has expanded over the seven years to include • a year-round program with music and children's travelling series brought in' every winter. There is an art gallery in the basement of the hall and a choir, called the Blyth Festival Singers has been formed. There is a Food Spot in the basement which serves light meals before performances and every summer there is a children's theatre workshop. All of this would not be possible without the generous support of patrons. members, industry and business, the Friendsrou and plain g P just theatre -goers, explains Mrs. McAdam. : The Centre's board members meet once • a month and an annual meeting is held. every .December.. Mrs. McAdam says she would be pleased to hear from anyone (at 482-3657) who is interested in becoming a board member or °a Friends of Blyth member or from anyone who would like to help the Blyth Centre financially..
