Trouble begins when an off-
the-wall psychic "named

the • Second wife, Ruth

Kids' show here
The Goderich Recreation
Department will be presen-
ting the 2nd of 4 Great Shows
for Children on Sunday,
March 13 at 2 p.m. at Vic-
toria Public School.
Singer Jerry Brodey will
present, "Songs from around
theWorld."
Brodey was born in Sar-
nia, Ontario and has been
working with children in
music for over 16 years.
He was part of a growing
folk revival movement in the
early sixties and sang in folk
duos and rock and roll
bands.
His job with the Sarnia
Recreation Department in
the summers of 1966-1971
gave him a chance to use his
music in community -
organized workshops and
city-wide events.
In 1972 Brodey worked for
the Toronto Board of Educa-
tion in a special education
classroom where he created
his own music program. A
year later he was hired by
Youthdale Treatment Cen-
tres in Toronto to work with
discouraged adolescents.
After working in residen-
tial treatment centres, Jerry
taught at the Youthdale
School in 1974 and 1975. Dur-
ing this time, the roots of his
present music program
developed. He used the
children's experiences and
feelings as an approach to
songwriting.
Brodey produced two pro-
grams for Metro Cable TV in
1978. The first, was titled
"Songs Tell Us Things" and
featured a collection of songs
and dialogues reflecting a
child's view of the world.
The second show featured a
series of his photographic
slides about Indiawhich
were set to his own music.
The Ontario Arts Council
has given Brodey numerous
Artist -in -the -School grants to
conduct extended
workshops. He also received
a grant from the Canadian
Commission for the Interna-
tional Year of the Child to do
a songwriting project in a
Toronto school.
In the last three years, he_.
has performed throughout
Toronto and other com-
munities in Ontario; at
schools, libraries, communi-
ty. centres and folk festivals.
He has also been featured on
a number of TV and radio
programs,
One production of the 1983
season has already been
guaranteed a continuing life
span when it closes at the
Festival. The Mikado will
begin an eight-week tour to
Seattle, Vancouver, Win-
nipeg and Montreal in
September. The comic hit of
1982, The Mikado was also
seen in Ottawa last fall and
was televised by- CBC for
network showing last
January when it was seen by
1.4 million people across the
ountry. Revived for the
Avon stage by popular de-
mand this year, it will open
June30.
The Festival launched the
1983 season with its fourth
annual Open House on Sun-
day, March 6 4 the Festival
