a Borelians shoot for competition win Dave Ellis has a tough act to follow. He is director of the Borelians production of "Deathtrap", a spell- binding mystery now well into rehearsals which will be the comm- unity theatre's entry in the 1984 Ontario Drama competitions. Last year, of course, the Borelians achieved remarkable success in the Drama competitions with their production of "Nurse Jane Goes to Hawaii"', placing second and winning awards for best costumes and best male supporting actor. While the Borelians no doubt are hoping for a strong showing in the competitions this year with 'Deathtrap', Dave and the entire cast and crew are too busy gett- ing ready for opening night February 24 to spend any time looking over their shoulders at last year. "Sure, we want to do very well. We are hoping for a good play for adjudication (March 1) and we will be giving it our best shot," Dave said during an interview at rehearsals at Town Hall, 1873 in Port Perry last Thursday night. "Deathtrap," by Ira Levin, who penned such thrillers as Rosemary's Baby and Boys From Brazil, is an ambitious undertaking for the Borelians. In fact, Dave says the Borelians are one of the very few amateur theatre groups to attempt to stage this production. Technically, it is a tough play, says Dave. There must be a lot of emphasis on such things as lighting, sound, props and special effects. The five person cast of "Deathtrap", which is set in modern day New England, includes Terry Hodgins and John Stewart of Port Perry, both well known for their work in amateur theatre here. And there are three newcomers to the Borelians stage: Rick Kerr, who has worked in theatre in Whitby; Roz Michaels- Ludgate, also from Whitby; and Coralie Nolan from Claremont, who has a background in professional singing. All the action takes place in the study of Sidney Bruhl (played by Hodgins) a middle-aged playwright who has not written a successful play for many years. Director Ellis says the play is a "spell-binder,"' guaranteed to keep the audience on the edge of their seats, with a plot that has more twists and turns than a grapevine, and an ending that will surprise and shock. Casting was held last December and rehear- sals got underway on January 3. For this production, the Borelians have been fortunate to have the services of Tony Durrant as supervisor of lighting. He has also given two full-day light- ing workshops under a grant through the Theatre Ontario Train- ing Program. Some of the other people involved off- stage in this production include producer Lyn Sparling; Dave Litt, set design; Beth Schryburt, costumes; Zoe Allen, make-up; Tessa Dyer, assistant director; Greg Dechert, music and special sound effects; and Dave Sparling as technical co-ordinator. There will be five per- ' formances on Feb. 25 and March 3rd will be dinner-theatre style. The March 1 perform- ance will be adjudicated by Mira Friedlander as the 1984 Festival entry. If the production is judged the best among _ amateur theatre groups in central Ontario, it will be taken to Tor- onto's Harbourfront to compete against the best from all over the province. Tickets for "Death- trap' are available at Irwin Smith Music on Queen Street in Port Perry. For more information, call 985- 3714.
