Spinners learn new techniques Twenty members of the Huron Tract Spin- ners and Weavers Guild have enjoyed their four spring meetings learning new techni- ques which should prove helpful in pursuing their craft. . In March, Pat Lee and Kerry Price show- ed how the. computer could be of help in planning patterns. In April at "Show and Tell" of winter projects a fashion show of garments spun, woven or knit by Toni Vos was a highlight. At the May meeting Joan Stadelmann in- troduced the guest speaker, Louise Farrell of Toronto — a former Katimavik leader in Goderich who bad just completed a tapestry course at The College of Art in Toronto. Louise showed her scrapbook of woven samples done in her course telling about each one. Pat Lee showed slide's which had' been collected by the Pottawatomi Weavers & Spinners Guild of Owen Sound from guilds across Canada. Kathy Dykstra showed several pieces of rag weaving she had done. At the June meeting Joanne Cicchini demonstrated the use of a rotary cutter cut- ting strips of fabric to use for rag weaving. The cutter wa§ used on a special mat which could be used any table without cutting it. Toni Vos gav a report on the Ontario Hand - weavers gid Spinners Conference held at Brock University, St. Catharines in May and she demonstrated with her new serger now the sewing and finishing of hand woven teabric is made simpler. Plans are being made for the annual ex- hibition and sale at the River Mill, Ben- mjller Inn on November 7th and 8th. Special attraction this year is to be a Christmas table and a Baby Corner featuring gifts for a baby. Meetings are held the second Tuesday of each month (excluding winter months) at the board rooms of the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food office in Clinton at 8 p.m. Hustle and bustle at The Playhouse There's plenty of hustle and bustle at the Huron Country Playhouse as the first week of rehearsals get. underway for the Season Opener Babes In Arms4 About 18 outstanding - Canadian per- formers have gathered at the Playhouse to produce Rodgers' and Hart's comedy musical. Artistic Director, Steven Schipper says, "The work of any theatre company is always a reflection of the people who col- laborate in its creation, and we are blessed at the Playhouse to have so, many of the Country's finest talents working here. What's particularly exciting about this sum- mer are all the young budding stars taking part in Babes In Arms. Their energy per- vades the Playhouse." Among these, Theresa Stewart, "ANNIE" returns in an entirely different role. Audiences will enjoy the terrific talent that these young people will provide. In addition, music and dance rehearsals are starting to take shape. Musical Direc- tor, Michael Mulrooney says, "The entire team at the Playhouse is capable of produc- ing brilliant, breathtaking theatre. I'm sure our audience will be thrilled when they see Babes In Arms." Behind the scenes crew are busy building sets, making costumes and gathering props, making for lots of excitement at the Playhouse. Babes In Arms runs until July 18 on Main Stage. Based on the book, by George Op- penheimer, Rodgers and Hart manage to combinj� ggreat music and songs along with a high —energy, hi -jinx variety of entertainment. Artistic Director Schipper says, "The spirit of the play is identical to that of Huron Country Playhouse - Fun. It's easy to get ex- cited about Babes Irl Arms. It's got an in- credible charge of energy running all the way through it." Directed by Schipper (his fourth produc- tion at Huron Country Playhouse) with choreography by Glenn Kotyk, Babes In Arms has many enduring hits like "My Fun- ny Valentine" and "The Lady Is A Tramp." Also featured in Babes In Arms are many well known Canadian actors including past Artistic Director, Aileen Taylor -Smith, Theresa Stewart ( Annie) as well as a couple of local talents, Karen Shiel from Parkhill and Allison Dunn from Bayfield. With the rising cost of production, very few theatres endeavour to produce large scale musicals- however, the Huron Country Playhouse has 'managed to' present high quality theatre without cutting back on entertainment.
