A. Forrester Roy C. Forrester - Edttor anid Manager The Festival The Great Ridge Festival of the Arts makes its de- but this comng week when they open their festival of three plays at the Newcastle Towni Hall. Months of pre- parations, planning and rehearsing have been put into the productions which should have this festival as onie of the inost significant theatrical project of thearea and hope- fully of the entire province. It is the hope of the sponsors that the festival will become -an aniuai event and will further expand beyond summer theatre. Eventually it is the hope and desire to see this develop into a permanent theatrical schrmol for the talented young actors ahd actresses with scholarships available. >The project has not lacked enthusiasm both in the local area and from neighbouring centres. Durhamn College as well as the uhiversities of Queen's and Trent have shown considerable interest. The provincial department of education and jother public and private sectors have assis- ted in one way or another to launch the festival on its course. Financing, is of course, always a problem and this is the case with the festival at this point. Donations, ai- though quiet liberal are not in themselves enough.' The generai public through their attendance xviii, to a great degree determine the success and the future of the fes- tival. In this everyone cah play their part sometime during the three and a haif weeks the three plays are presented. The co-directors, Miss Joan Bennett and Mr. Roy Higgins along with a host of other active workers are certainly to be congraitulated and ýextolled in their efforts anid contributions to this date. It couid be the opening of a new era foryouth theatre on this continent. From aIl reports the eçay s are now ready, along with the actors and stage crews, ticket sellers and ushers. TIiere is every confidence that the plays will be presented in a professional manner and in this we have ittle doubt judg- ing fromn past performances. Many from this Village and area are taking part in these three plays and this in itself will increase interest for local theatre goers. The Great Pine Ridge Festival of the Arts deserves your whole-heatred support not ohiîy on its initiative but also for the promising future it may hold for this area.
