The Little Mermaid
About the Play
Our next production will be of an entirely different genre! Lots of laughs, fabulous costumes, singing and dancing and timeless characters. Plenty of opportunities for audience participation and fun for the whole family. Be sure to book early for The Little Mermaid, our Christmas production written and directed by North Vancouver’s own Peter Zednik. Proceeds will go to charity. This year’s recipient will be Camp Kerry Society “Our services are provided by a team of professionals and trained volunteers with specialized skills and experience in bereavement care.”
The Little Mermaid is produced by special arrangement with the Author
DIRECTOR’S NOTES
The Little Mermaid is my fourth panto experience with NVCP. What keeps me coming back? Fun fantasy characters, lively audience interaction, and an ending where love conquers all – what a glorious way to embrace the holiday season. Thank you to the enthusiastic and dedicated cast and crew who have worked so hard to make your Christmas special! – Peter Zednik
PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Welcome to North Vancouver Community Players’ annual Pantomime. We love to not only entertain patrons of all ages but to also support children’s endeavours on the North Shore. Christmas is our time for giving back to the community in many ways. This year the charity we have chosen to receive the net proceeds is Camp Kerry Society! Please remember to drop off your non-perishable food items in our Food Bank box. If you would like to join into the fun on and off stage, please check out our website North Van Community Players under the section Volunteer. We would love to have you aboard! – Fran Heaney
