It’s panto time again (oh yes it is!) and the Red Sandcastle Theatre’s Panto Players are presenting their 6th annual, magical, traditional family pantomime for the festive season.
A Ladd’n his Cat is full of fun and sparkle, with more than a sprinkling of pantomime magic.
Set as a Play with in a Play with in a Play we take you from a Pirate Ship, where the Cheshire Cat (Jackie English of TVO Kids Fame) has been discovered as a stowaway by Pirates! To a Fishing boat! To the World of Aladdin and his poor widowed mom the Widow Twanky (played by Adam Bonney of Scott Tissue Fame)!
Aladdin,(Played by the Shaw Festival bound Kristopher Bowman) spends his time like most teenaged boys, texting and sleeping until he happens upon the Cheshire Cat, (In the form of a Genie who grants unlimited wishes!) who turns Aladdin’s world upside down and makes everything possible! Even marrying the beautiful Princess!
But can the Cheshire cat avoid walking the plank? If Aladdin “looks out behind him” can he find his lamp?
Fast becoming a Leslieville tradition this year’s A LADD ‘n HIS CAT is a fun-filled family pantomime brought to you by the creative team of Jane Shields and Rosemary Doyle who brought you The Shoemaker and the Pantomimes, Alice in Blunderland, Sleepy Beauty, and #Dick Whit for Mayor and Jack and the Bean Stock Market! Jackie English will be course returning with her crowd favourite “Cheshire Cat” as always, the Cat is BACK!
Filled with more Genies then you can shake a stick at, catchy songs, silly jokes, dastardly villains, delightful dancing and a huge dose of slapstick, the Red Sandcastle Theatre once again serves up a sparkling festive treat!
