Blyth, ON - Five Canadian productions. Each featuring one lone magical storyteller. All performed under the wide open Huron County sky, on the newly built Blyth Festival Harvest Stage, at the Blyth Fairgrounds.
Occupying roughly a five acre natural amphitheatre at the North/West corner of the Blyth Fairgrounds, and backing right onto the Goderich to Guelph rail trail, a beautiful, brand new, wrap around open air theatre, The Blyth Festival Harvest Stage will be a permanent addition to the Blyth Festival seasons moving forward.
“This is going to be transformative,” says Gil Garratt, Artistic Director. “Challenging as the last 16 months have been, we have had the opportunity to reinvent, and dream a new future into being. We have built an incredible new performance space that will be used for generations to come.
It’s breathtaking. This is a chance for us to come together as safely as possible, in a place that is truly beautiful, surrounded by farm fields and forest. The sun sets every night over stage right. The stars, milky way and all, will fill the sky. And all of us will walk away with a new story in our hearts. I really can’t wait to share it with everyone. The clouds are parting.”
The Blyth Festival has been working closely with Huron Perth Public Health, along with industry health and safety partners, to create a robust Covid safety policy. Rachael King, General Manager of Blyth Festival says “months of planning have gone into a living document that we will utilize and update as things change. But we’re confident 2021 can go safely ahead, albeit at a reduced capacity.”
The Festival’s season will run August 11 to October 3, 2021. More details are available on the website. Tickets will go on sale by phone to members only starting July 5th. The general public may start ordering both online and via phone beginning July 20. There will be limited tickets available.
Although the province has not yet stated what audience capacity may be come August, Gil Garratt has planned a season of physically distanced outdoor theatre, and the Blyth Festival is ready to keep everyone, artists and audience, as safe as possible, while returning to the stage with live, high calibre, singularly Canadian, theatre to move audiences the way only live theatre can.
