Garry Plotter and the Pantomimer's Stone

By HolidayPantomime on October 28, 2007 - 11:19am

A twisted, musical, comedy for the entire family!

December 13 - 30 2007 2pm & 7pm

www.phtheatre.org

Come see a show that combines all of the fun and audience participation of traditional pantomime with the popularity and familiarity of a truly modern fairy tale!

This is Garry Plotter's first day at Hardly Works School of Magic but he's got more on his plate than just finding out where his locker and homeroom are located. He must stand up to the school bully Drano Badboy and his henchmen Drab and Boyle, stop the evil wizard Luscious Badboy and Evil Wizard Formerly Known as He Who Must Not Be Mentioned from taking over all the other panto lands, hide the fact his school is magic from his insufferable Aunt Patootie and Uncle Vermin - and if there is time...maybe even fall in love.
Remember this show is completely interactive - Cheer for the good guys, boo the bad guys and talk to the characters as much you like...just be careful as they will almost always talk back!

Pre-Christmas Sale at the Lewis Evans Art Studio & Gallery

I just "met" the visual artist Lewis Evans through Facebook (gotta love that thing), and along with some stunning paintings, he's offering a wonderful winter wonderland of extended studio hours, mulled wine and sale prices. I'll be checking it out as soon as I can squeeze out some precious pearls of time, and I suggest you do the same if you're into local galleries, getting to know professional artists, or just like to meander amongst lovely works of art. Or maybe you just like mulled wine, and that's fine with Lewis too. Lewis tells me,

"I like to work around people's energy and their connection with a piece and with me as the artist. If someone really loves a piece, I would always try to find a way to make it possible for them to have it, even if it seems too expensive for them....

I am planning to have the mulled wine from tomorrow. I will be doing it up till Christmas. I am normally closed on Sundays and Mondays, and I open from 11.00am to 5.00pm. However, I plan to open Monday 24th.
