The Whitby Inn Restaurant &Pub satellite a TV * Teams Welcome By Gavin Crisp A Whitby resident will play the role of a Russian chess master in the upcoming Oshawa Little Theatre production of 'Chess.' «'I first heard the music te 'Chose' about five years ago and just thought it was the best music I h ad heard in a long time, " says Kevin Dashney, tea- cher at Father Leo J. Austin Catholic Secondary School. "I was just conipletely amazed that a group aroun d here was gongt put it on." WIritten in 1986 by Tim Rice (who had a hand in the music numbers in Disney's 'Aladdin') and pop group ABBA's Benny Andersson an d Bjorn Ulvaeus 'Chess' was about the worid chess title match hotween Ameni- can Bobbie Fischer and Russian master Bonis Spassky. lonles a Russian chess guru, Anatoy, played by Dashney. A theatre-lover for meet of hie life, Dashney started his acting/ singing career with numerous musical productions in high school. Realizing bis career as a p or- former was more of a hobby tl* an a job, Dashney attended tea- chers' college. "Certainly, drama and teach- ing complement each other very well as far as performance, and since I teach drama as well. But I think they're very much rela- ted," says the teacher at G.L. Roberts CVI in Oshawa. Since the beginning of his teaching career, Dashney has found very little time te pursue his performing interests. But with the recent mounting of 'Chess,' ho couldn't allow suc h an oprtunity te pass by. CMest people don't know very much about 'Chess'... I think it will become botter known as "think anyone Who cornes te see it will ho surprised at the quality of it.» 'Chose' wil be presented Dec. 8 te, il and Dec. 15 to 18. Nina Foxall is director, Tim Southwell musical director, Autumn Smith choreographer and Maureen Smith producer. ickets, $14, are available at Saywells Book Store, Oshawa, or at the box office on night of performance.
