Curtain time on both nights is 8:15 at Port Perry High School, and tickets will be on sale at the door. : The three plays, "Over: laid" be Robertson Davies, "The Marriage Proposal' by Anton Chekhov, and 'Im- promptu" by Tad Mosel will provide ample entertain- ment for just about any taste in live theatre. "Impromptu" brings four characters together on a nearly empty stage to live out fragments of their lives both as real people and as actors playing roles. The play itself resolves-nothing; this is'left to thie audience. Diane Lackie is the direc- tor and Carol Aird, Randy Watson, Sharon Lackie and Robert McLaurin make up the all-student cast. 3 " Playing Ernest in "Impromptu" by Tad Mosel, Robert McLaurin is on bended knee before Winnifred (Sharon Lackie). Randy Watson and Carol Aird are in background. He's not really asking for her hand. In "The Marriage Propo- sal" a Russian Landowner finally decides to take a wife, but while proposing gets into a monumental quarrel with his intended over property boundaries. The farce: in- tensity - as the intended's father joins the quarrel. This is too much for the land- owner who - "'dies" before their eyes. He is revived in a most unusual manner and the quarrel continues. John: Rodway, Judy 'MacColl and Paul Gouett plays the char- acters in one of the most famous Chekhov's plays. From a farcical look at pre-revolution life in rural Russia, '"Overlaid'"' exa- mines some of the life and thinking of two people in rural Ontario, Director Jack Cawker has taken one small liberty with the original text to make the 'play's main character the "bohemian ~set of "Reach > Lepp. LS Township all in one man." . Robertson Davies' writing of "Overlaid" indicates the knowledge and compassion he has for rural life in this province, And. while the audiencé: may laugh at the two main characters, Pop and Ethel, the audience may ° also see some of themselves, Jim Baird and Beryl: Pearce play the leading roles, along. with David 5 As mentioned, 'the scope and content of these three 'plays is varied. The plays will make you laugh, and they will also make you think. And besides this, they'll provide you with a pretty fair evening of good entertainment, . Port Perry High School, March 3 and 4. Doors open at 7:30 p.m., curtain time is 8:15 and tickets will be on sale-at-the door, 1" really. It's all part of the "Marriage Proposal," a farcical comedy by Chekhov.

The Festival is being sponsored by Oshawa"s two Kiwanis Clubs whose ~ members have formed the Oshawa Kiwanis Music Festival Association. The Association is a non-pro- fit organization whose sole purpose is to provide an opportunity to aspiripg musicians to encourage them to further their efforts in music. : "In the beginning when the Kiwanis Clubs decided to undertake the project, it was anticipated that some 350 entries would be received and it appears that this number will be easily reached. However, the festival committee has decided to extend the closing date for entries to Saturday, March 4 in order to accommodate entrants who may not have been aware of the original closing date. As the Festival Chairman, Dr. Norman Lowes, pointed out: "We planned on a small beginning to gain exper- ience. It is our hope however that the Oshawa Festival will develop into one of the biggest and best in Canada. The Toronto Kiwanis Music Festival just completed at- tracted more than 30,000 competitors in just about every conceivable class. It will take a few years before we come close to that figure," continued Dr. Lowes, "but I can foresee the day in the not too distant future when Oshawa"s Ki- Fest will have 10,000 or more entries." stival attracts many - concert, featuring the Festi- - val's outstanding competi- -tors will be held in Simcoe STAMP PADS = PENS & PENCILS TYPEWRITER TYPE CLEANER RULED and GRAPH PAPER TICKETS TYPEWRITER PAPER RECEIPT BOOKS BULLDOG CLIPS LEDGERS : ~ COLUMNAR BOOKS (2 col. fo.18 col) PAPER REINFORCEMENTS FILE FOLDERS CASH BOOKS SCRATCH' PADS "HOLD IT" (the re-usable PlaSTICK) Competitions will be held mainly in Oshawa's down- town churches and possibly the McLaughlin Library.
