Oh yes it is. Oh, no it isn't...
If you walk past the church on any evening this week, you're quite likely to find some of these lines being given with gusto. It's last minute rehearsal time for "The Land of Green Ginger." The costume fitting is on Sunday when we're also building the set. Dress rehearsal is next Wednesday and the curtain goes up on Thursday. 8 days' time.
The entire cast is from the congregation and we're bringing out some unlikely talents. But the leading lady has got tonsilitis, the chief comic lead has been felled by a chest infection, and the pantomime dame has lost his hearing aid and so can't hear his cues...
Can we pull it off despite the challenges?
Will Abu Ali win Silverbud's hands despite the Evil princes?
You'll just have to come to find out.
Thursday 19th Feb, 7.30pm
Friday 20th Feb, 7.30pm
Saturday 21st Feb, 2.30pm and 7.30pm.
Tickets for £5. Concessions for £3.
It's going to be great.
Father Robert
