The Thornhill Theatre group was organized six years ago for the purpose of promoting interest in theatre arts. Its membership ranges from 60-75 people with close to 125 people partici- pating fairly regularly. The first production in 1969 was “Pyjama Game”. Since that time each spring Thornhill Theatre has produced a musical of note including “Gypsy”, “Bye Bye Birdie”, “Flower Drum Song” and Damn Yankees”. This season they are doing two productions, the Rodgers and Hammerstein show “Cinderella” last Christmas and now “Guys and Dolls”. The money to produce these shows is raised by the group. Each year as costs rise they’ve become more enterprising in their fund raising. They are very grateful for the support of the Markham Town parks and recreation department which provides them with a rehearsal hall at Thornlea Secondary School. All Saturday seats are $3. Other nights there are $2 tickets for students 16 years and under. For tickets or further information call Mrs. Velma Kyte at 884-4862. START NOW â€" MAKE YOUR OWN 7600 Yonge ST.
