Fifty in panto
More than 60 actors, actresses, singers and •dancers of all ages auditioned recently for the Christchurch Theatre Workshop’s October pantomime, “Sinbad.” Nearly 50 have been cast for the show. Brian Brodie, known for his production of “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang” last year, will direct the pantomime. John Twinn wrote the script, Tom Campbell is the musical director, and choreography is by Judith Graham. The role of Sinbad will be played by Stephen Taylor. He has appeared in many Christchurch productions, including “The Sound of Music,” “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers,” and Christchurch Theatre Workshop music halls and pantomimes.
Nicola Smith will play the beautiful Morna, who sets Sinbad off on his adventures, while Patrick Nolan has been cast as the comic pantomime dame.
Nolan’s experience includes shows with the Christchurch Theatre Workshop and Kirwee Players. He also played the Prime Minister in "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.” “Sinbad” will be staged at the Repertory Theatre from October 10 to 17.
