DIRECTOR’S NOTES
I envy Aladdin – who wouldn’t want to have three wishes? However, as Aladdin’s own story tells us, money cannot buy the most precious things in life. This Christmas my wishes came true: a talented and charming cast, a supportive and tireless producer, and an enthusiastic and committed crew. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this production – including you, our audience, for celebrating the wonderful panto tradition with us. I hope all your wishes come true this holiday season!. – Peter Zednik
PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
We are delighted to present Aladdin as our children’s show this year. We know you will all enjoy a wonderful hour of music, fun and laughter. Remember to boo and hiss at the Bad Guys and cheer and encourage the Good Ones! Our Christmas production always supports a North Shore group and this year we are happy to announce that the proceeds of the show will go to The Artists for Kids program. In addition, as usual, we hope to donate a sizeable number of non-perishable food items to the North Shore Food Bank. Enjoy the show and Merry Christmas, everyone. – Sue Worrow
