See You at the Theatre
As you read this article Battlefords Community Players will just have finished the third play of our season with a four day, sold out run of the very successful show “On A First Name Basis” by Norma Foster, thanks to the wonderful work of Cheryl Olson and Fraser Glen.
Next up is a special presentation of “For the Pleasure of Seeing Her Again” by Michele Tremblay, not part of our season but our entry in TheatreFest 2018. Previously produced by BCP in February 2001 this production will feature Lynda Lyon Walls and Jim Walls as Nana and Narrator, the same parts they played 17 years ago. For tickets call 446-3133 or donna.c@sasktel.net. They are also available at Creative Interiors in Battleford. To the actors and director this play is even more powerful than it was all those years ago as we discover even more this time around.
The Mousetrap by Agatha Christie closes out our very busy year with performance on May 1 (Show only), 3, 4, 5 (Dinner Theatre). A script that is the longest running show ever, running over 50 consecutive years in the same theatre in England – it is timeless. The cast of 8 have begun practices but we are still looking for people interesting in finding props, costuming, helping to build sets, lights, sound, makeup and hair. Lots to do.
When we look back on this year the club has worked hard to present four murder mystery shows, four regular season shows and one special show.
