   The Show Will Go On ☆ A New Start for Bancroft!

   NEW SEASON! NEW START! Guest: Tim Porter, Artist Director and Founder of Tweed and Company Theatre (https://bancroftvillageplayhouse.square.site/) Taking inspiration from the show business motto, "the show must go on!" Hybla Minute is back! And this time it's all about the show as it concerns Bancroft's Village Playhouse. Under the new direction of Tweed and Company Theatre and its Artist Director, Tim Porter, the Village Playhouse is undergoing many good changes and we talk about them and also how the pandemic effected, not only Tweed and Company, but theatre in general. With the light at the end of the pandemic tunnel (we hope), theatre is a wonderful way to gather again and fall under the magic of everything theatrical. With an ambitious and exciting season ahead of them and the what the plans for the new theatre, Bancroft has gotten a lot sexier. And there is a quiz and a giveaway. We're excited to announce that the winner of the free ticket to see local hero opera soprano Hannah Crawford perform is JOEY SHULMAN! So excited that Joey won, because he's mentioned in the podcast - big news! And the Quiz. I can't believe I won! Tim did his best, but it was a gratifying win all the same. Here are the questions that Tim didn't get and I had to look up later. 1) Dora Mavor Moore Mavor is her name before she married. It's not a middle name. 2) The oldest theatre in Canada according to Wikipedia: The Royal Alexandra Theatre, commonly known as the Royal Alex, is a theatre in Toronto, Ontario, located near King and Simcoe Street. Built in 1907, the 1,244-seat Royal Alex is the oldest continuously operating legitimate theatre in North America. The Annapolis Basin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annapolis_Basin) in Nova Scotia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nova_Scotia) served as the cradle for both French and English language theatre in Canada. Théâtre de Neptune (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Th%C3%A9%C3%A2tre_de_Neptune), performed in 1606, was the first European theatre production in North America. The tradition of English theatre in Canada also started at Annapolis Royal (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annapolis_Royal). In Fort Anne, Nova Scotia, plays were produced for Prince of Wales (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_of_Wales)' birthday. George Farquhar (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Farquhar)'s The Recruiting Officer (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Recruiting_Officer) was produced on Saturday, 20 January 1733 to celebrate the birthday of Frederick, Prince of Wales (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick,_Prince_of_Wales). The music from today is a piano roll version of Scott Joplin's The Entertainer. Because? Thank you for listening to Hybla Minute and thank you to my guest Tim Porter. Great to be back! ADDED BONUS - Roy, Dolly The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcPY3RIvtCw) Tim: Pippin (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gz0JBbiI378)

   RATTLING THE CAGES: "So You Want to Have a Bylaw?"

   RATTLING THE CAGES: "So You Want to Have a Bylaw?" GUEST: Councillor Bongo MUSIC: Italian Dub Community A roadside zoo has come to town, and it's as easy as pie if there is no bylaw to regulate it. Ontario is the only province without legislation around the ownership and care of exotic animals. In some municipalities in Ontario, owning a tiger is easier than having chickens. In fact, way easier. If there is no bylaw, you could keep a tiger, lion, zebra or any other exotic animal in your backyard with no regulations as to the height of the cage for example. You'd need a bylaw for that. So what is a bylaw and how do they happen? Councillor Bongo, from the municipality of South Algonquin breaks down how bylaws come to be and how to understand what they are - Councillor Bongo makes municipal politics sound fun, and if not fun, at least accessible with clear and plain English. We break it down, chat it up and Councillor Bongo takes the Hybla Minute "Is This a Real Bylaw Quiz" and does a great job. With Hastings Highlands very own Tiger King of the North Drama unfolding before our eyes, knowing what a bylaw is and how it comes to be is helpful and useful information. This show is a great resource for people interested in municipal politics and how the system works.
