If ours is a generation of cynicism and disillusionment it seems imperative that somewhere a note of hope or escapism, call it what you will, be injected. The Richmond Hill Youth Concert Band would be happy to be a part of one of these necessary boosters to the flagging spirits of the ’705. In their second summer of full time operation, supported by a federal government Opportun- ities for Youth grant, the band presents free concerts almost daily throughout the summer at institutions, parks and day camps in the Rich- mond Hill area. “A national theatre will not be created in any one location, to serve one city or one province. It will emerge from a theatre climate that engulfs the entire country..." A three-ring circus could barely compete with the mayhem by the water Thursday night; still those who wished to Those are just some of the comments on actors, acting, audiences and theatre in general made in an article in FanFares, the Stratford Festival’s monthly publication, by artistic director Robin Phillips. Mr. Philips said theatre could also be a unifying voice, providing a “common touchstone where, through the medium of language, we can take a closer look at In speaking of a national theatre, he said when it emerged it would be one “enabling writers, directors and actors to make a statement truly Canadian, transcending differences of geography and economics to find the underlying pulse of the country, and give it voice."

The band suc- ceeded in creating an atmosphere of life for an interlude. He said there was a legitimate challenge to theatre in Canada today, although not really a new one. It was instead, a challenge “to act as a conscious and willing connector between past and future." ' A tight core has been playing together now for three years all year round and can boast a reputation of excellence. the values we consider important.” Phillips also had some very definite thoughts on the importance of physical training for actors.

The group, then, is happy and presents itself as a vessel of good cheer for those willing to par- take. Rough spots and misplaced notes are easily overlooked while music very much our own and 'worthy' of "pride "is blended with our trees and our ducks and our swing sets. Criticism of govern- ment overspending and futile projects comes easily and may often be based on fact, but it is gratifying to see people truly taking advantage of a golden opportunity. In the process the townspeople will profit from the experience gained by their young people and the pleasure created. ‘ Note: Last concert of the summer to be held Thursday, August 7, at 7:00 pm at the Mill Pond. Some people in various parts of the world could sing and dance for the sheer joy of it all, never once indulging in extra physical exercises. Phillips then answered his own question by stating people’s natural‘ instincts are crippled from birth by many processes, “by the con- ditioning in fact of a warped society. “Would it not be enough then to trust to nature and act by instinct?” he asked. “So an actor needs precise exercises and clear understanding to liberate his hidden possibilities and to learn the hard task of being true to the instinct of the moment...to set the talent free” PARKWAY HOTEL at 7:30 pm.
