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.
