For those who have not had the pleasure of attending a pantomime here is a brief description:
“Pantomime (informally panto) is a type of musical comedy stage production, designed for family entertainment. It was developed in England and is still performed there, generally during the Christmas and New Year season and, to a lesser extent, in other English-speaking countries. Modern pantomime includes songs, slapstick comedy and dancing, employs gender-crossing actors, and combines topical humour with a story loosely based on a well-known fairy tale. It is a participatory form of theatre, in which the audience is expected to sing along with certain parts of the music and shout out phrases to the performers.”
A bus from Franklin Coach lines (these are comfortable tour buses, NOT school buses) would be hired to pick up and drop off theatre goers at the Athol Recreation Centre in Cherry Valley at around 6pm (exact time to be confirmed), a stop in Picton and a 3rd stop to be determined based on location of theatre goers (possibly Bloomfield or Rossmore).
The cost for the event would be $34 show ticket (group rate), $22 for the bus less $5 subsidized by the Athol Rec. Centre = $51 plus hst= $57.63 (Round up to $58)
The bus holds 32 persons.
Festive snacks and treats will be served on the bus to and from the event.
Please contact Susan Wallis 613-476-2554 or email susanwallis@kos.net if interested. Please indicate how many tickets you would like.
Tickets of $58\person would have to be paid for in full by October 31st.
