IT'S PANTOMIME TIME IN WHITCHURCH
It's pantomime time in Whitchurch with another production by The Ecumaniacs
at St. Augustine's Centre. The Ecumaniacs are a group of youngsters and some
not quite so young relatively inexperienced players who hope to enjoy themselves
in these performances.
The pantomime is written by Judi Smith and it is her third production. Some
of the regulars include John Bellamy as "the Wicked Wizard" - he really is
loud at the rehearsals. Malcolm Kingshott plays Mrs Horner, the Dame, another
"feminine" performance can be expected.
One of the new features is a slapstick scene which requires some slick timing
and professionalism, that could present problems with Stan and Ollie (George
Upton and David Fowgies), Jack and Mrs Horner (John Dicker and Malcolm Kingshott)
taking part.
Of course there is some romance for the delightful Violet Elizabeth (Jean
Goddard). Her husband Dave plays Mr Snatchit. V.E is actually his daughter
(funny that really cos they're married).
Some newcomers include Erica, as the "Puss", Trevor Newman as the "King",
Jean Penry as "Felina", Colin another of the miller's sons, is played by
Sarah Baker who was Cinderella in the last production. Our thanks are due
to Chrissie Torpy who stepped in as a replacement for Queen Angora as Pam
Summerlin had to withdraw.
Of course I'm sure you will recognise some of the characters in the crowd
scenes who include Jan Wills (how does Judi manage it - another curate!).
Phil Smith and the dancers are suitably organised by Mo Merrell again.
Thanks are due to Ian Tucker for music at all the rehearsals, Nell who makes
the tea, the folks who have backed us with advertising, Hartcliffe School
for printing the programmes and all the many folk who have helped with the
backstage and so on.
The production is for church funds so please come along and enjoy
yourselves.
