With their first “season” behind them, Judith Elizabeth and Gordon J. Smith of the Vaughan Country Playhouse, are already hard at work on their next one. Elizabeth and Smith are the two young per- formers and producers, who opened the new theatre on Weston Rd. in Maple in June with a brilliant production of The Owl and the Pussycat. It was the opening venture into starting their own company for the two, who would like to see Vaughan become another cultural centre of the likes of Niagaraâ€"onâ€"the- Lake or Stratford. “We kinda just barged in here,” ' said Miss Elizabeth. “The area segmed right.” However, she admits it wasn't just the surface attraction of the place. Partner Smith is from the area and had recom- mended it. Also, the proximity of the famed McMichael Gallery in Kleinburg, plus the Doctor’s House restaurant, made it more and more seem like a natural. “The cultural aspect had been nurtured somewhat," is the way Miss Elizabeth summed it up. Lost money She said that, although they lost money on their production, they still consider it “a success of sorts."

However, they would like a permanent home for their workshop and at present are negotiating with the Town of Vaughan to get the old Vellore school house beside their new theatre. The latter would be for both children and adults in acting, voice, mime and dancing (ballet and movement). There would also be a workshop for playwrights, both for beginners and for those whose works are already under way. Theatre is a highly- expensive proposition. It’s also a fullâ€"time job, which is why Miss Elizabeth doesn’t get much timeto work even part-time as a waitress, or Smith at his job as a stripper â€" furniture stripper, that is. Now they’re busy planning for next year and are aiming for three shows, still to be decided. They also are trying to get some workshops under way by the end of September. Déépite the obstacles, are they hopeful about it? However, that didn‘t keep the twoâ€" and only â€" principals of the play from performing as if it were opening night at the O‘Keefe. Word of mouth and laudatory reviews helped to pick up the crowds from then on. llullll m Huflfl‘ Nobody‘s been murdered yet, but there‘s no doubt Simon Gascoyne. played by Craig Mc- Cartney. stretched out there on the floor. got a bit of a jolt when hit by that wheel-chair.
