Pantomime performance in Shelburne

November 24, 2014 · 0 Comments

Shelburne’s traditional British pantomime takes place Nov. 28 to 30.
Come and cheer on the good guys and boo and hiss at the bad guys. This year’s pantomime from the Tipling Stage Company, Shelburne’s Community Theatre, is Little Red Riding Hood and there’ll be fun for everyone at Grace Tipling Hall.
Director Bev Nicholas presents his version of the story, with veteran pantomime performers from far and near, at the theatre where area residents come back to enjoy the pantomime each year. Jo Hubbard is choreographing, Gerry McNalty is directing the music with Bob Bagnell on percussion and Michel Malcoux on guitar. Kim Peeters is choral director. There will be comedy, laughter, foot-tapping songs and music.
In the story, Wolfgang Wolf has returned to England after being in exile and he’s seeking his revenge on Chief Forester Lionel, a one time follower of Robin Hood, who helped to banish him, and on Gertie Girdle, who spurned his proposal of marriage. With the help of Sniffy and Snuffy Skunk, he plans to kidnap Red Riding Hood and restore his position in Twittingham village, but Woody and his friends soon thwart his plans.
