ST ge rg EE RE ie 2. Peay ee May eventually rival Stratford $1 million theatre fundraiser delayed "Government red tape'"' is the reason a campaign to raise $1 million to build a building for Huronia Players won't happen in 1988. Huronia Players Presi- dent Ray Holt says the campaign won't begin un- til after the Players are in- corporated as a charitable group. Application was made for incorporation to the provincial Ministry of Cor- porate and Consumer Af- fairs last November. But an application takes between nine months to 12 months to be processed, Holt said he has been told. Last January he was thinking of an autumn campaign. Once the 27-year-old group is incorporated, ap- plication will be made to Cocktail, now playing at the Pen, is a visually ap- pealing and interesting film. Bryan Flanagan (deftly played by Tom Cruise) is a second-generation Irishman from Queens who has just come home from his stint in the army and is looking for a job. After fruitlessly pounding the pavement, our hero lands on the doorstep of a posh. Manhatten bar. A relationship develops bet- ween bartender Doug Couglin and Flanagan to the betterment and subse- quent detriment of both. Cruise turns in his jet fighter for a bottle of Jim Beam and shines as a youth looking for the fast buck but growing up in- stead. His father-son rela- tionship with Couglin (Bryan Brown from FX fame) is a growing ex- perience for both. Elisabeth Shue (who was excellent in Adventures in Babysitting) plays the romantic interest. From the acrobatic bar 'scenes to the beautiful Jamaican scenery the film is appealing. The story may bog down in parts, but the ending is worth the wait. Rating: *** Ottawa for a charitable donation licence. Holt, who teaches drama and geography at Midland Secondary School, offered without prompting a description of himself as a dreamer. He sees the potential for Midland to become a theatre centre on a par with Stratford and Niagara-on-the-Lake. The immediate goal is a "decent facility for this area." A drive to raise money for the Players is not competition for the North Simcoe Arts Coun- cil's mandate, he indicated. The Arts Council represents every artist and craftperson in North Sim- coe, Holt said. A building for the Players would com- pliment the work of the NSAC, he said. "I guess you could say that we are taking the load off their back in a way." Why $1 million? "I am personally tired of penny ante schemes. I want to go at it full shot. I am not in- terested in trying to raise money over 20 years through bingo." While the fundraising committee is shaking the bushes for donations, a se- cond committee will be searching for suitable land. The fundraising committee Letters Popular dunking event a success Dear Editor: On behalf of the Big Sisters Association -- of Huronia we would like to express our sincere ap- preciation to everyone who participated and assisted in our dunking tank event held during the annual Midland Sidewalk Sale, Ju- ly 14, 15 and 16. The money raised by your participation allows us to provide a higher quality program for the girls. It permits "extras" which help bond the rela- ticnship so necessary for the emotional and mental growth of each Little Sister. The funds also give support to the Big Sisters who voluntarily devote their time to to the pro- gram by providing workshops and other lear- ning experiences to make the Big Sisters' role more effective. We are pleased that a fun 'Tenacious reporting' commended Dear Editor: I would like to take this opportunity, (albeit tardy) to thank you and your newspaper -- not forget- ting of course Murray Moore whose tenacious reporting, coupled with your unbiased press coverage of the Midland councils' proceedings and debate of the taxi licence issue, was most infor- mative and appreciated. In publishing both sides of the debate, you no doubt assisted the Midland coun- cil in making an objective and correct decision which, I am certain, helped to eliminate a_ potential monopoly and possibly a great disservice to the peo- ple of the Town of Midland in the matter of the taxi licence issue. I am in receipt of a letter from the Town of Midland, informing me that I may receive licensing upon meeting the present bylaw requirements. Gordon F. D'Eri experience was enjoyed by all involved, but more im- portantly for the broader significance of the event, which assists us in helping to provide a better program for the girls of Midland and Penetanguishene. Sincerely Big Sisters Association of Huronia Chery! Pritchard Vice-President will be divided into sub- committees each responsi- ble for a segment of the community. The Huronia Players has a loyal base of 200 season subscribers, The communi- ty theatre group has been performing dramas, com- edies and musicals since 1961, usually three plays a season. The stage of Midland Secondary School is the group's theatre. Holt has been a Player for 20 years. Holt envisions a building in the area with seating for 300. With its own building at its disposal, the Players' season likely would stretch to six plays. The building would be available as a "social and cultural hub for the area, attracting such ac- tivities as small conven- tions, dance school recitals, union meetings, film societies, concerts, children's theatre and choir groups to name a few,"' Holt said in a letter to the editor last January. Holt sees Midland and Penetanguishene next door to each other as an oppor- tunity to offer a theatrical experience unique in Canada: bilingual theatre.
