A Round of Applause for the Blyth Festival

2007 - The Audience Said:

"This was an excellent season... the work you do at Blyth is outstanding not only with your choice of playwrights and their plays, but also, in the acting company and the production design team each and every season. It makes me proud to be a contributor to your theatre."
- M.L.C., University of Michigan Dept. of Screen Arts & Culture

The Media Wrote:

"A riveting and authentic story of family and life"
- Kindah Mardam-Bey, AnEVibe

" Blyth Festival has always had that magic touch - of taking fiction and making it our truth"
- Clinton News Record

"Blyth crowd applauds message ... It was a brave decision for Blyth to present Reverend Jonah. It's easy for the rural-based theatre to critique the moral weaknesses of those who live elsewhere, especially big cities. But it's an entirely different matter to shine a critical light close to home or to hold a mirror up to your own foibles."
- The Record

And more...

"The Blyth Festival assembled incredibly talented new performers coupled with treasured veterans, creating a dynamite summer of entertainment which assaulted all our emotions. Thank you!"
- Don McNiven & Shirley Scott, Fergus

" It is a pleasure to have the Blyth Festival right here in Huron County. The plays and actros are well and carefully chosen. Our summer festival in Blyth attracts patrons from all over the world. Why don't you come visit and stay for a while? Good theatre, good food, great pies and good accommodation."
- Patricia Ham, Auburn Schoolhouse Bed & Breakfast

"The Blyth Festival is where I go to experience stories that speak of every facet of Canadian life, told by the voices of our people. Stories that speak to us of our history, our challenges, our worries and our joys. Stories that elicit many emotions; often the most nourishing one - laughter. It is where first our children and then our grandchildren learned to love the theatre."
- Wendy Hoernig, Benmiller

" We thoroughly enjoyed last night's (Schoolhouse) première! Great story. Great cast. Great entertainment. Congratulations to everyone at the Blyth Festival on the historic achievement of its 100th première. My family is pleased to support the efforts of the Festival."
- Steven Sparling, Blyth
