LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Old school, pizzeria memories live on Re: If you grew up in Stouffville, this may sound familiar, column by Jim Mason, July 14. A friend of mine sent me a link to your story. That is the best morning smile I have had in a while. Growing up at 19 Albert St. S. during the 1970s, I do remember going to Orchard Park Public School and making forts in the bush down the tracks. You missed Guillio's Pizza. I will never forget the smell walking in there to pick up pizza. Cranbrook, BC is a small community of 16,000 and the place I call home. It reminds me of many things from growing up in Stouffville and I'm glad my son is getting a chance to grow up in a `Canadian small town'. Once a year, we do a promo of Down East fare, and I have fun doing it because I love that 'Down East' frame of mind. It has evolved though, and if you recall the Lotto 649 advertisement of the group playing golf, that's in Cape Breton, and it's a pretty exciting place. We'll be doing some old-time dishes at the store this week, and I'm thinking that you'll enjoy them. DOWN EAST! ATLANTIC BLUEBERRY JAM CHEDDAR SALMON WE'RE GOIN' JAIL ISLAND VERY WILD 7 | Stouffville Sun-Tribune | Thursday, August 11, 2016 AVONLEA ExTRA-OLD Ken Ivens Cranbrook, B.C. Theatre company taking shows to Uxbridge Re: Arts Centre lost money on productions, letter to the editor by David Parmer, July 6 Nineteen on the Park is not a 152-seat facility when a production with a full blown set is installed in the stage area. The bleachers hold 112 people and sometimes one row of chairs can be added. The comment, "House sales were 39 per cent" is based on 152 seats, not 112. A comparison was made to Motus O and Theatre of the Beat. Theirs is a different style of entertainment where set-up time is less than an hour and, in several instances, less than five minutes. To mount a full dramatic production, people with regular jobs work on community theatre in their spare time, Sundays and weeknights, to assemble the set and run rehearsals before doing four or five performances. There has been no satisfactory explanation given for the extraordinarily high rise in rental prices at 19. In its first year of operation when Markham Little Theatre came to Stouffville with a show, the weekly rental was $1,300. If the cost of operating the facility has risen by more than five times, to more than $6,500 per week, then there should be a serious review at where all this money is going. Perhaps the town should study how Uxbridge's Music Hall is run. There are no full-time employees. Booking the facility, offering tech assistance and cleanup after are all done by a few part-timers. STC has contracted the music hall for less than $2,000 per week and will have about 300 seats available for each of four performances. Third, Parmer speaks of his facility absorbing losses when STC presented its first two shows. Perhaps it also should be noted that before STC ever put on a show in Stouffville, the theatre company contributed more than $4,000 to 19 on the Park, proceeds from hosting Mayor Wayne Emmerson's farewell. Stouffville Theatre Company will be presenting its next two full productions at the Uxbridge Music Hall at about one-eighth of the cost per seat of 19 on the Park. "Dial M for Murder" opens Nov. 3. "The theatre is the only institution in the world which has been dying for four thousand years and has never succumbed. It requires tough and devoted people to keep it alive:" John Steinbeck. The tough and devoted people of Stouffville Theatre Company will continue, even if they have to work in a different town for the time being.
