stouffville suntribune thursday june 2 2005 7 why preserve downtown eyesore some people may see something weird and wonderful about the ageold coop building beside the go train tracks in downtown stouffville but i see only something weird not wonderful in wanting to preserve this structure its an eyesore and a death trap amazing this oneword descriptive while suitable falls short of appropriately portraying the onstage pro duction of music man pre sented may 27 28 and 29 by the stouffvillebased york durham academy of the performing arts at the vaughan city playhouse the entire cast under the direction of wayne hill was brilliant including the talent ed christie mcmullen the equally talented chris whiteford and the precocious mayor of river city peter markle but let me not forget remarkable 10yearold ryan wynne in the role of winthrop the band directed by vince gassi was also excel lent i could go on naming each and every individual however space will not per mit this degree of elaboration but let me say this whitchurchstouffville is indeed fortunate to have ydapa but indeed unfortu nate not to have a site where ydapa can perform maybe some day ydapa will host its 2005 grand finale june 17 at east ridge evangelical missionary church in stouffville doors will open at 6 pm with con- cert and presentations at 730 the evening will include the years show highlights
