Schools team for charity garage sale
Highland Secondary School’s gym will be the scene a massive, student-organized charity garage sale on Saturday, Nov. 5 . All proceeds go to The Ronald McDonald House of Hamilton.

Twenty-three Highland, Dr. John Seaton and Sir William Osler teams of students will each have their own tables with a particular theme, such as children’s items, furniture, books, household items, sports, and so on. The sale runs from 8-11:30 a.m.

The garage sale is the culmination of Dr. Osfest, a leadership camp for Dr. John Seaton and Sir William Osler’s Grade 7 students that took place in mid-October. Students in Highland’s leadership program hosted the fourth annual leadership camp for the 75 Grade 7 students.

Topics in the morning session included trust, motivation, communication and time management. In the afternoon, students began to organize a giant charity garage sale as a way for students to give back to the community and practise their leadership skills.

The goals of the project were to develop the leadership skills of the Grade 7 students, familiarize the students with Highland, help in the community and reinforce Highland’s environmental initiatives by recycling.

Costume coup highlight of 51st season opener
By Debra Downey, Senior Editor

Dundas Little Theatre continues a half-century of excellence with a thought-provoking play that is highlighted by a costume coup probably unparalleled in the company’s history.

DLT launched its 51st season on Friday night with Time and The Conways by J.B. Priestley. The audience was treated to an almost flawless performance whose central question will linger long after the final curtain closed.
Time and The Conways is one of Priestley’s famous “time plays” that explores past, present and future as a linear concept perceived only by humans.

The play spans a period of 19 years. At the beginning of Time and The Conways, it’s 1919, and the Conways, a prosperous Yorkshire family, are celebrating Kay’s 21st birthday. Kay hopes to be a novelist. Hazel, the beauty, anticipates a romantic marriage.

Madge wants to reform the world and marry the dashing young family lawyer. Carol, the baby of the family, spreads good cheer, while Robin, back from war, is certain to have a good career. Alan is content to be an armchair philosopher. Their mother has high hopes for them all. But things will not turn out as planned…or will it?

The audience is invited on the Conways’ adventure though a charming set decorated in warm golds and reds. Showing off its long-appreciated versatility, the Garstin Centre for the Arts has been configured for Time and The Conways so audience members are seated on three sides. It’s an atmosphere akin to dinner theatre and one that commands the attention of viewers.

Time and the Conways is talented director Brian Morton’s third venture for Dundas Little Theatre. The outstanding ensemble cast includes actors Chris Cracknell, Sarah Zuccolo, Deb Dagenais, Alexandra Pope, Michelle LaHaise, Andrea Adcock, Natalie Ruginis, Andrew Southam, Gregory Cruikshank and Ryan Trepanier.
The production is stage managed by Valerie VanLandschoot, with set design by Peter Lloyd. However, the behind-the-scenes hero of Time and The Conways is unquestionably Sally Watson, who looked after costumes.

The characters’ clothing — from accessories to dresses and suits — not only reflects the diverse time periods in the play and the family’s changing social status, but are colourful, eye-catching and add much to the overall authenticity of the production.

Kudos to all involved with Time and The Conways. It was a great kick-off for DLT’s 51st season. The one criticism — and there is only one — is that because the audience is seated on three sides, it is sometimes difficult to hear, or at certain points, audience members view the back of an actor for a prolonged period.
We trust this will be corrected as the stellar show continues Oct. 27-29 and Nov. 3-5, 8 p.m., at the Garstin Centre for the Arts. Tickets for the show are $18 with $13 students/seniors (65-plus) discounts for Thursday performances only.

For ticket information or to make a reservation, call 905-627-5266 or visit www.dundaslittletheatre.com. Dundas Little Theatre offers a special meal and show package on Oct. 22. Buy early and secure a spot at the Winchester Arms Restaurant. Just add $25 to the price of a ticket. For more information, call 905-627-1620.
