NV Players off to flying start

fill Hendry Hall to capacity
and enjoy evenings of song
and comedy sketches during
the Presentation’s recent
three-week run.

But the North Vancouver
Community Players have a
‘program this season that 1s
tightly scheduled. Opening
‘on Wednesday, October 17,

Highly, praised and award
winning play **Da’’ by Hugh
Leonard.

‘Da’? is by'turns tender,
touching and funny and ex-
presses the thoughts of a
London Irishman who
returns to his native home to
bury his dad. All the
memories of youth come

vividly alive on stage.

At the audition stage right
now is the Christmas produc-
tion written by member, Ray
Soden. This is a sequel to his
Merry Christmas Mrs.

And to remind visitors of
the time warp they have
travelled through when they
arrive at the hotel, there will
be old Province and Sun
newspaper fronts, radio sta-
tion air checks, and _ film
clips of wrestling and Frisky
Frolics from the 1960s.

“The Avalon has never
really been thought of as a

Scroogie and, with the utle
Boy Scroogie, promises to br-
ing past and present together
in a clash of riotous
participation.

Don Marsh, now in his se-

cond year as club president
believes the season will turn
out to be one of the most ex-
ciuung ever.
The Hendry Hall premises
are being steadily improved,

inside and out, new members
are getting involved, and the
club has some _ remarkable
talent to draw on.

Says Marsh: ‘‘There are
ymany challenges ahead for a

group such as ours, not least
which will be the influx of
itgrs for Expo °86, and

" enjoying our present

grasen we want to be ready
or the future."’
