Solstice is excited to be bringing another pantomime to Pender Island for Christmas 2021. Yes, we know it is a long way off but be prepared. Treasure Island, directed by Karen Parker, will be a fun-filled community event. We hope by then our COVID worries will be behind us, and Treasure Island will be a show for live audiences to enjoy.
Unfortunately, due to COVID, we had to postpone this past year’s Christmas show, It’s A Wonderful Life. However, all is not lost. Barb Pender and her talented crew will be filming this radio show later in the year and steaming it for Christmas 2021. It’s A Wonderful Life is a collaboration of Solstice Theatre and members of the Pender Choir, and we all have enjoyed sharing the songs, the talent, and the laughter.
If you are looking for a theatrical experience to brighten a dreary day and haven’t already heard Wily Barlow, you can go to the Solstice website or Facebook page and hear or see this radio play (www.solsticetheatresociety.org). It is full of Pender references and is written and performed by your very own Solstice Theatre.
As always, we have many plans for the coming year. So if you are wanting to test your theatrical skills or just testing the waters, why not join us. We have big show productions at the hall, radio plays, and members-only play readings with potlucks (It is hard to believe it’s been almost a year without all that).
