GIVE ME THAT NIGHTIE — Actors Teresa Balfour and Ann C a omptan fight over a nightgown in the upcoming dinner theatre play, The Baby Sitter. The play is about a coupie's first night out after having a baby, and it’s full of funny mistakes, like a husband who keeps grabbing the wrong woman's butt. Slapstick comedy looks fun TICKETS are going fast for the 5th annual dinner theatre production, put on by Ter- race Little Theatre. The comedy The Baby Sitter opens April 17, It’s directed by Gordon Oates, a veteran of dinner theatre productions. Oates compares The Baby Sitter to the English comedy Fawlty Towers. Both are slapstick comedies with plenty of gimmick lines. “T's a fun play for the cast and crew,’’ says Oates and he predicts audiences will enjoy it for the same reasons. Mounting a dinner theatre production is quite a challenge. The set, lighting and ac- ting space all have greater limitations than when a play is performed in the McColl Playhouse. Lights in particular are difficult to work with since the theatre graup has limited portable lighting. . However, The Baby Sitter met Oates’ re- quirements of simple lights and set when he was looking for this year’s dinner theatre play. Of the five actors cast in the play, only one will be unfamiliar to TLT audiences, Teresa Balfour plays Beth, a young mother looking forward to her first evening out since the birth of her baby. Although she’s new to the Terrace. stage, she’s not new .to.theatre, having been involved in theatre in university. Adam Kirkwood plays the part of her husband Roy, and was last seen as the or- derly in Harvey. Kirkwood was also cast in last year’s dinner theatre The Night of Janu- ary 16th. Cheryl Spencer plays Beth’s mother, Mrs. Avast ye READY FOR A rollicking pirate story? Four talented singers from Terrace are appearing in the Pirates of Penzance musical, put on by Kitimat’s Warm and Fuzzy productions. The show sounds like it will be worth ihe 45 minute drive. Pirates is a fun- filled ‘musical, and has been around since 1880, It is a love story between Mabel, played by Terrace’s soprano virtuoso. Tineke Hovenkamp, and Fredric, her duly-led pirate played by Kitimat’s talented Jim McCauley, and the problems of a rather inept pirate crew from a small English coastal town, ~ Other Terrace performers are Alexis Maikapar, who as the Pirate King, $3000 DOWN OR EQUIVALENT TRADE/4B MONTHS #44 Litre, Yo, DOHC, 190 HP © Air Conditioning ‘97 TOYOTA TACOMA 4X4 XTRA CAB Novak. This is Spencer’s third role with Terrace Lite Theatre. She was last scen on stage in. Sweeney Todd as the goodwife. Ana Compton will play the babysitter Babs. Audiences will remember her from Sweeney Todd. Compton has also worked behind the scenes in plays for about three years, Julie Jacabs is a veteran of many plays, and she'll be playing the smaller role of Fill Swanson. The Baby Sister will be her first dinner theatre production. As far the director, this is the fourth play Oates has put together for Terrace Little Theatre. His last dinner theatre play was Windfail. Oates usually directors comedies, saying that directors, like most people, gravitate towards what they like. Comedy is ideaily suited for dinner theatre productions since it is lighter fare. So far, dinner theatre has been extremely popular. It’s one of the few events in town that offer a dinner and a show together, aud therefore dinner theatre draws many people who don’t regularly attend other TLT pro- ductions. ; The dinaer theatre is presented at the Ter- race Curling Club and raises money for both groups. The curling club is one of the few places where the theatre group can leave tle set up for two consecutive weekends, since the curling season ends by mid-April. The Baby Sitter runs April 17-20 and 24- 27. Tickets are $30 each and only 94 are available for each performance. Tickets are available at Uniglobe Travel. Mateys! cleverly manipulates young Fredric into remaining as a pirate because of a para- dox involving Fredric’s Feb. 29 birthday. Gisela Maikapar is one of a bevy of beautiful maidens, a daughter of ‘‘a very modern Major-General.”’ Finally, Cameron Schulz, a newcomer to Terrace, is hilarious as one of the bungling policemen guarding the Major-General’s daughters. Pirates of Penzance is a fundraiser for six Kitimat churches. Tickets are $14 and are available at Video Stop in Kitimat. Price includes the dessert cafe.
