Dra"ma Section Two The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, November 15. 1978 -5 Workshop Peforms "A Thurber C-arniival" When Iris Hellam makes Macbeth sound like a modern whodonit, Vic Goad wonders if he really read the book at all. Harry Young as Walter Mitty (centre) dreams he performs a life savi.ng operation in A Thurber Carnival. Thom Fowler as New York humorist James Thurber recalis "The Night the Bed Fell. " Sketches Based of New York1 By Lynne Ainsworth Bowmanville Drama Work- shop's faîl season opened last week with a presentation of A Thurber Carnival. The two act comedy consist- ed of a series of skits taken from cartoonist James Thurber's humorous essays and dramatized for the stage. Produced by Jean Sheridan, the 16 vignettes were directed by Elizabeth Benner, Anna Blake, Pat Marjerrison, Pat Rundle and Wynne Wonna- cott. Mrs. Sheridan did a marvelous job stringing together the skîts in an RED CROSS volunteer. on Work Humorist organized and entertaining manner. While each skit was entertaining, the highlights of the show were those in which actor John Amesbury appear- ed. Mr. Amesbury possesses a good sense of timing - a quality invaluable to anyone appearîng in a comedy. By making small changes in the tone of hi-, voice and his facial expression he qute naturally slipped in and out of the various characters he played. Although the cast is toc numerous to list individually special mention should be made of Harry Young as Walter Mitty, Elizabeth Prower as the obnoxious wife, Vic Goad as Mr. Preble and Iris Hellam as the dumb blonde. Word Dance, the opening and closing number in which four couples dancing pass comments on life and love, was the most successful skit and ahl eight actors came off well in it. The four person jazz combo which provided the music for Word Dance were, to borrow a much over-used expression, terrific. Barb Jensen on piano, Lynda Shewchuk on flute, Doug Barber on bass and drummer Joe Coyle could step on any stage and entertain a crowd. ~MFMF MFMF MF MFMF MFMF IL1 IL IL 2: MF 184-4 Four wheel drive tractor ILMF55Ol979Combine M M Getting ;eReadym IL M We Are!! e :E 1 M.
