Zurich Citizens News, 1976-02-25, Page 6,;y'ago 6•• Citizens News, February 25/76 Reveal Playhouse summer season James Murphy, artistic director of Huron Country Playhouse, has announced that Anne of Green Gables will headline the Playhouse summer season. Anne of Green Gables is not only Canada's most famous musical, but a world hit. Based on Lucy Maud Montgomery's novel which first appeared in 1908, this form of Anne soon became a household word. Then there were several film versions of the story, including a 1956 TV musical with lyrics by Donald Harron, and music by Norman Campbell. In 1965 the newly formed Confederation Theatre in Prince Edward Island, the locale of the novel, commissioned a stage version of the musical from the Harron -Campbell team. This huge success has been repeated eery year in C:liarlottetown Stephe tali tenders since, with sold -out national tours, a London (England) version, a long run at New York's City Center Theatre, and nu- merous other productions the world over. This year, the Playhouse has chosen this special, very Cana- dian work to celebrate the 1976 Olympics. Anne of Green Gables will be presented with complete musical and dance corps, and full orchestra. The production will rehearse in Grand Bend, then play two weeks at the Playhouse, and two weeks on tour to locations throughout Southwestern On- tario. The huron Country Play'.iouse 1976 Festival of Summer Theatre opens June 30 and runs to Labour Day, featuring four comedies and four musicals. The other seven productions of the season will be announced March 1. At its recent meeting Stephen township council concurred with a request from Huron county that county rates be collected in two installments in 1976. Beginning this year payments for county rates will be due on June 30 and December 15.

Road superintendent Frank Mcisaac has been instructed to call tenders for the supply of 20,000 cubic yards of gravel to be spread on township roads in September. At the same time Mclsaac will be calling tenders for the purchase of a three-quarter ton pickup truck for use by the town- ship's road department.
