Frelighsburg photographer displays works The works of St-Armand photographer Hélène Duperron will on display July 1 through 12 at Les Sucreries de l’erable, 16 Main St.in Frelighsburg.Duperron specializes in photographic landscapes of the Eastern Townships.She will be on hand for the vernissage July 1, as well as on weekends.Duperron’s works have previously been exhibited in Sutton and Philipsburg.Les Sucreries de l’erable is open from 8:30 a.m.to 6 p.m.and is closed Mondays and Tuesdays.For additional information, call (450) 248-0125.Caroline Kehne, Correspondent June 26-July 2, 1998 page 3 Townshipsw eek .wTHEi ¦ ¦¦¦'" i Talk of the Townships Kathleen McAuliffe brings The Gem Collection to Echo Art Montreal singer debuts show in Brome By Diahann Nadeau Record Correspondent Brome Fans of Kathleen McAuliffe will not have to make their way to the Festin du Gouverneur dinner theatre in Montreal this summer to hear her sing.She will be debuting a new show on Thursday, July 2, in Brome.The Gem Collection will kick off the summer season at the Echo Art Dinner Theatre, and McAuliffe will return with her show on Aug.27.Earlier this month, McAuliffe appeared in a non-singing part at Theatre Lac Brome in Knowlton, in A.R.Gurney’s tender play Love Letters with Peter Pringle.The Gem Collection will highlight her singing talents in combination with readings of favorite poems and monologues.This is a new frontier for McAuliffe and she admits to being rather nervous at the prospect.“I’ve been waiting to pluck up the courage forever really,” McAuliffe said.“People have been begging me for years to do something oh my own.I’ve been wanting to for a long time, but finally I’m committed to do it at Emma (Stevens)’s.I’m a bit panicky now!” “I’ll be doing the same thing I do at parties really.But I’ve never done a one-woman show.It’s not unlike the Festin du Gouverneur though - I call it entertaining in the whites of people’s eyes.” The material is entirely of McAuli-ffe’s choosing, including some poems and monologues written by her mother, Mary, who lives in Ireland and who she says “is very funny.” McAuliffe has hand-picked a selection of “absolute favorites.These are all pieces I’ve performed and adored but never done them together.” The musical choices reflect her preference for meaningful lyrics.“Lyrics are very important to me.I’ve SeNeFlTORG-flN ReClTflL) w rtie Rev.GeoRGe n pficiMN SUNDAY JUNE 28th, 1998 3:30 p.m.ST.BARNABAS CHURCH NORTH HATLEY, QUEBEC (FREE WILL OFFERING SUGGESTED) .du Maurier chosen songs from an era when songs were about things - not rubbishy.I will be singing the verses that are rarely sung now.” The verses McAuliffe refers to are li% a prologue v songs;

Record Cover S ¦ .'.GRANT SIMÉONfTHEATRE LAC BROME The right fit.Robin Wilcock as Don and Martin Simms as Sancho Panza in Don Quixote de Lac Brome, the show that opens Theatre Lac Brome's 12th summer season.Don Quixote de Lac Brome a ‘comic phantasmagoria’ - Nicholas Pynes By Amy Tector Knowlton Theatre Lac Brome updates a classic while throwing in a Townships spin in the first show of its 12th season, Don Quixote de Lac Brome.Artistic director Nicholas Pynes adapted playwright Eric Overmyer’s “comic phantasmagoria on Quixotic themes,” making it amusing and relevant for Brome Lake area and other Quebec residents.“The reason that something becomes a classic is because the ideas are still applicable and relevant to the modern world.Cervantes’s Don Quixote is a classic because it still resonates,” said Pynes.The play is not a straight version of Cervantes’s somewhat dense prose, however.Instead, it is a contemporary adaptation of the classic story of an ordinary man who sees himself as a courageous explorer.It touches on the major themes of the Spanish classic while updating the plot.This play is about three actors trying to put on an absolutely faithful adaptation of Don Quixote.The driving force behind this wish is Don, a character much like Don Quixote; he is an old-guard theatre actor who longs for the glory days before the corruption of film.It is this quest for the unattainable that characterizes the play and is what appeals to Robin Wilcock who plays Don.“I think there is a little bit of Don Quixote in everyone.He’s just a misguided person trying to dream the impossible dream,” he said.Wilcock, a native of Alberta, has been acting professionally since he graduated from the National Theatre School in Montreal in 1995.His co-star, Jane Wheeler, should be familiar to Theatre Lac Brome audiences, despite her platinum-blond wig.She has been performing on and off in various productions here since 1991, including Des Beaux Gestes et Beautiful Deeds and Cabaret.“I love working here.I like the actual physical theatre, I find it very warm and inviting,” she said.“The audience has always been very receptive.The plays that are performed here are always a little off the beaten track.” It is the kookiness of Don Quixote de Lac Brome that is so appealing to her.“It’s very entertaining and challenging for the audience, people are going to have to work at it.It’s a very intelligent play, but at the same time has mass appeal,” she said.Wheeler relishes her role as the vixenish Dulcinea, a self-absorbed tough cookie intent on making it in Hollywood - if she ever gets there.Wheeler does not think this stereotypical version of the ambitious actor holds much truth, as much fun as it is to play.“Generally actors have to be very giving.You can’t be self-absorbed, you have to focus on what your fellow actor is doing in order to make the scene work.If you want to be famous, then you’re going to have to be ambitious, but if you just want to be working, then you need determination more than anything else.” Determination has marked the third member of the cast’s professional career.Martin Simms play Sancho Panza; he has been working in film, TV and theatre since 1989.Despite his years of experience, this production posed a particular challenge for him.“The best part of the show for me is the dancing.I’ve never done that.Jane and I waltz, meringue, tango and lambada.It was a bit nerve-wracking, because I’m not what we call a ‘triple threat,’ one of those actors that can sing, act and dance.” Simms is particularly glad to be able to perform in the Townships.“It’s a beautiful area, I’ve been out to visit before, but it’s nice to get the chance to come down and work here,” he said.Despite the fact the actors had only two-and-a-half weeks of rehearsal time, rather than the standard three or four, Pynes is very happy with the way the play has evolved.“It’s great fun and a bit unusual,” he said.“It is just a great way to open the season.” Don Quixote de Lac Brome is currently playing at Theatre Lac Brome in Knowlton through July 11.To make reservations, call (450) 242-2270. page 6 June 26-July 2, 1998 Towns hips w eek Country — THE Kick your heels up at the Champlain Valley Fair Randy Travis headlines annual festival The Champlain Valley Fair is fast approaching and this year they’ve cooked up a great lineup for the pleasure of country fans.Randy Travis opens the 1998 edition of the Champlain Valley Fair on Saturday, Aug.29.The concert begins at 7 p.m.in the Coca Cola Grandstand with special guest Martina McBride.“The Randy Travis/Martina McBride combo should get us off to a great start,” said Fair General Manager, David Grimm."This will be Randy’s first appearance at the Champlain Valley Fair and we're thrilled that it's finally going to happen.McBride appeared in 96’ and her career continues to skyrocket,” Grimm added.Travis has been away from country music for a little while as he pursued an acting career, appearing in many movies such as Black Dog with Patrick Swayze.To Travis’ credit we must admit that he also deserved a break.He never stopped since the release of his debut album, Storms of Life, which was the first album in country music history to go Platinum (one million copies sold) within a year of its release.Randy Travis is often referred to as the singer who revived country music and gave it a fresh style.Back on the road, Travis is touring in support of his new release You And You Alone, an excellent follow-up to all his previous work.Martina McBride will open the show and those who had the chance to catch her performance back in 1996 will surely want to see her again.McBride has resumed touring after taking a few months off to recuperate from giving birth to her second child.Country Connection Jessie Aulis ;
