    		FINNISH FOLK MUSICAL COMING TO FITCHBURG
    
    	An amateur theatre company from Jyvaskyla, Finland will present
    a single performance of "Talkootanssit", a Finnish language folk
    play with lovely music by Ilmari Hannikainen.  Originally produced
    at the Savonlinna Opera Festival in 1930 by the Finnish diva, Aino
    Achte, it has become one of the staples of Finnish folk drama. The 
    music includes several songs that are so popular that many think
    them to be folksongs.  The plot is "folk-play simple" and there
    is much singing and dancing by a company of 40.
    
    	The performance is at Fitchburg State College's Weston Auditorium
    on Wednesday, August 23 at 7 P.M.  Tickets are $5.

    RE: .3
    
    	When is the festival this summer?  What are the dates?

     Ahhh, this brings back memories.
     I first met my wife in Kaustinen, at the 1969 folk festival.
     We are both danes, but had to cross the whole of Norden to meet.
     What a wonderfull trip that was.    :-)
