Trail art a vleny

A native of Trail has been
commissioned by the Trail

* and District Arts Centre So-
‘ dety to design the proposed

theatre/art gallery to be lo
cated on the Esplanade area
of downtown Trail.

Bruno Freschi, a promin-
ent Vancouver architect who

° grew up in Trail, will do the

design work required to have
the project submitted for a
local referendum and qualify
for senior government fund-
ing. Present plans call for a
referendum this. November
in conjunction with civic
elections. -

Arts Centre Society presi.”
dent Tom Steven said the

‘ work is now beginning

thanks to a $40,000: grant
from the City of Trail. He
said the society is now pure
suing other sources of
ing to ensure that the very
best planning and di

lesign
- work will be carried out in

advance of,a referendum;

grant from the City of
Trail wasa soa tremendous ‘boost
for'us. ‘That, plus the city's
willingness to provide prime
downtown land:for the proj-
ect, demonstrates the elty’s
support for this project,
which will bring so many
benefits to. the community,”
he said.

Centre to make it’ economi-
cally viable,

The’ Trail Junior High,
scheduled to cease operation
asaschool by the fall of 1 of 1983,
was studied as a possible site

for an Arts Centre, but the
cost of: renovating it was
estimated to be.close to the

coat.of building a new the--

atre-art gallery in the Es-
planade,. and it would con-
tinue to have’ many short-
comings, , +

However, the Arts Centre
Society is very. interested in

retaining the. present audi- ~

torium for a rehearsal and
secondary... performance
space, and having sections of
the school set aside for arts
activity such as music and
dance practice, craft work
and art studios. -

Freschi estimates the pre-"

design stage of his work will
take eight to 12 weeks.
Following: client approval,
the schematic and design de-
velopment stage would take
12 to 15 weeks. After client
approval there would be
three weeks of presentation
before a referendum.
Freschi is right now at the
beginning of the pre-design
stage. This work will include

a review and updating of |

Glamor fades as rent is due

CALGARY (CP) — The
glamor of the stagelights and
the clamor of an adoring
publie fade at the end of each
month when Calgary actor
Paul Joliceur has to worry
about getting next month’s
rent,

ZJoliceur has travelled a
tough road as one of a hand-
ful of fulltime actors in a city
that only now is getting its
share of television and movie
productions.

He starred in the award-
winning television drama
about adult literacy, Safer
Than a Sock, which won a
silver plaque at the 1980
Chiéago International. Film

Festival. The drama, pro-.

duced by the Alberta Edu-
cational Communications
Corp., is the story of Frank
Pritchard who is brilliant at
the race track, but is fun-
ctionally illiterate.

Five years of schooling and
toil is no guarantee of.a job.
Joliceur knows his next: job
depends on his successes and
failures and keeping in-
formed about coming produc-
tions and possible work open-
ings.
Before one job ends, he’s
out hustling another. It’s that
kind of drive and ambition
that has kept him in demand.

“Being in demand comes
from having established a
reputation,” Joliceur says.
“The reputation means
everything.

PAYS THE RENT
“Jt also means next

+ maath's rent gets pald.”.

+ ‘Largely because ofa role in
a 18-part children’s show,
Joliceur’s income. averaged
$15,000 annually over the Ist
two years — hardly the kind
of money that buys the pent-

house apartments and swim-"

ming pools that. are the
fabled possessions of his pro-
fession,

“It is a myth that a big-
name star automatically gets

“mountains of money for a

role, There simply aren't
mountains of money to be
had.

“There are lots of miscon- * -

ceptions about my profes-
ston.

“Miake no mistake about it,
acting isa profession that has
to be taken.serfously. And
acting is bloody hard work.

“Perhaps acting isn't ev-
eryone’s idéa of a nine-to-
five, job, but it.is my bread
and butter and that cannot be
ignored or downplayed.” *

dJoliceur seldom takes time
off, becatise a period of in-
activity can mean disaster for
an actor struggling for rec-
ognition.

A sensitive subject

‘WINNIPEG (CP) — Ac-
tor-director Gerald Lenton
says Montreal's Miche) Trem-

: ty is Canada’s best play-

FTES hy is “head and
shoulders above anyone
else,” said Lenton, who is
directing an English-langu-
age version of the Quebec
playwright’s Bonjour, la‘Bon-
jour at the Hlversity of
Winnipeg.

The play deals with the
sensitive topic of incest be-
tween brother and sister and,
rather than condemn their
affair, Lenton says his ver-
sion of the piece affirms their
relationship.

“For me, that's the only
thing the play can be saying,”
Lenton said in an interview.
“If the audience doesn’t un-
derstand and accept that, the
play will be a failure.

The play begins with
brother Serge returning
from a three-month stay in
France. He spends his first
evening at home visiting his
father, aunts and sisters ina

* series of scenes that ricochet

from one part of the set to
another.

The set, created by Lenton
and designer Robert Shan-
non, is in the shape of a huge

“spider web. Sitting around

and in the web are various
members of the family, lying
in wait for Serge who was his
own platform in the centre.
SED LIGHTING

Lighting designer Doug
Cameron has used three
kinds of lighting to make the
many scene transitions clear
and to emphasize Serge's
vulnerability. It also empha-
sizes Lenton’s contention
that except for the last five
minutes, all the action takes
place inside Serge’s head.

Lenton insists there is
much humor in the play,
@espite the subject: “The
play's a riot the way I'm
directing it.”

Even more important than
the poverty, incest and hu-

mor in the play are the things
Tremblay says about sorting
out one’s own values, Lenton

“Does Serge want his sis-
ter enough to buck Society?
» - At some point, we all
have to make a life decision.”

.For Lenton, a life in the

theatre was such a decision. -

He was reaised in a house
where four families shared
one bathroom and yet be-
came a Woodrow Wilson fel-
low in the late 1960s and took
a master’s degree in econ-
omics at the Biversity of
Manitoba. .

While he appeared in a few
plays during his student days
at university, he developed a
serious interest in the the-
aire ‘only after he had been

94 egazomics: for a,

a le of years.
“I decided the eecnomies
had to go,” Lenton said,

. Being on the stage or be-
fore the television and movie
cameras is only a’small part
of the world of an aspiring
actor. Parts. mist be found,
contracts negotiated, lines
earned and characters de-
veloped, All must be accom-
panied with an eye to the
future.
“In many respects,
have to be more proficient at
selling yourself-that you are
at your craft,” says Joliceur
who “wandered” into a role
with a Winnipeg theatre
group five years ago.

Until then, life on the road
with a rock 'n’ roll band bad

ceur wanted more.

* “Later, I was naive enough
to pack my bags and head off
to be discovered as a big star
in Toronto,” he said with a
groan, more than a little un-
comfortable at the recollec-
tion. And therein lies one of
the traps of the acting pro-
fession.

“You can't be too naive.
I've seen too many young
people with talent and ideals
destroyed because no one
showed them the ropes.”

Joliceur says he caught on
fast. He did some vaudeville,
honed his skills on bit parts,
studied and matched others
in the field. ~

“I would be kidding if I
didn’t say there is an element.
of luck involved in this pro-
fession,” . saya the burly,
darkskinned Joliceur.

Freschi is already familiar °

In that study, he recom-
