THE BATTLEFORDS — The Battlefords Community Players kick off their new season with a comedy by Pat Cook called “You Can’t Get There from Here” starting Oct. 19 and running for eight performances through to Oct. 28. A very funny show featuring Candice Brown, Shelly Bretzer, Gregory Kwong and Brian Corley and three new members – Jennifer Kelger, Kat Carroll and Mika Kahnapace.
This opening show is sponsored by Innovation Federal Credit Union.
A season package, either dinner theatre or show only for all four productions, can be purchased at any time until the first show is over, but until Sept. 30 you can take advantage of a 20 per cent discount. As well, individual tickets can be purchased at any time by calling 306-446-3133 or email to [email protected] and we hope to see everyone at the theatre.
The second show of the season is a wonderful favourite perfect for the Christmas season “It’s A Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Show” directed by Darren Olson. He has put together a great cast of Clint Barrett, Fraser Glen, Glen Rubidge, Holly Briant, Crystal Gilbert and Marno Auchstaetter as his foley artist on stage. I think we will all be checking to find out what a foley artist is. They have just begun rehearsal and this production is certainly going to be different.
Watch for more information on the next two shows of the season as well as other plans we have, including evenings of one-act plays, improv, readings and music.
