PAGE 12, WEDNESDAY, APRI L 11l, 1984, WHITBY FREE PRESS Sandy Crawley'excels ii Marigold's 4"Any Wednesday" By MICHiAL KN1LL Free Press Staff Believe it or not, there were only 36 people in the audience last Frlday to see the Marigold Din- ner Theatre's produc- tion of "Any Wed- nesday." Theatre goers from Whitby and al of southern Durham Region have missed a great opportunity to see two fine young Canadian talents in ac- tion. Not only can Sandy Crawley act, comedy no less, but he can sing and play guitar as well. In "«Any Wednesday" Crawley portrays Cass Henderson, a man who finds love in another man 's mistress. He kept his audience in stitches. At the weekly Friday night Cabaret, Crawley got ut hîs guitar and sang more than a fine tune. Excçpt for those who took in "Any Wed- nesday" throughout its 1-week run, theatre and cabaret loyers from our town have missed something important, exciting and truly homegrown.

Free Press Staff Photo crisis arrived on her 3th birthday is a joy. She invoked the audien- ce's sympathy and a great sigh of relief could be heard when she finally found love. ,Then, of course, we corne to Larry Solway and Nuala FitzGerald. What can be said about them that hasn't been said before? They are the heart and soul of the Marigold. Their, per- formances, as always, were magnificant. But the issue at hand is not talent, which was seen last Friday night in abundance. The issue here is: "are there enough people of the tremendous natural resource that is here in Whitby?"' Theatre is a celebration of the human condition - it is a myopic look at our- selves. It has the ability to touch our spirit ' to make us laugh or sing or cry. 'Vfhtweare looking t isourselves. At issue here is not just the Marigold but the enitre Canadian theatre community. The, Marigold is of- Most con- cern because it is here, where home is.ý Here Solway and FitzGerald have Made their stand. If Canadian theatre, professional or other- ILNI 214.udae. ,E 94K S.W S.- p)-- s. tilri wise, is to survive it must survive in towns like Whitby or it wiil neyer be truly reflective of ourselves or of our society. Nor will it truly be a medium of ex-» pression, for ail mem- bers of the community. Sure the tickets cost money. Everything in life bas its price. Butý the warm glow you get after leaving the Marigold is- certainly worth the money. It is something,,-, an, experience perhaps, that you ;cannot put a price on or ever hope té re-capture. After the show Fit-.ï zGerald requested that, the Marigold not be protrayed as- "crying poor."ý But they are not the ones who are poor. But, the- best thing about the Marigold is it's right here in Whitby, the place that's home.
