THE 2017 FAMILY PANTOMIME

Written By Mike Balser & Barbie Warwick
Adapted from original script by Peter Zednik
Artistic Director: Mike Balser
Musical Director: Timothy Tucker
Choreographers: Tamara Jaune & Elisabeth Lay

 

Young Calypso is obsessed with the world above the waves. This causes problems in the undersea world ruled by the sea witch Ursula especially since Calypso is a mermaid. Even worse, she has fallen in love with a human prince she rescued from a terrible storm! Calypso is determined to find a way to be with her love, even if it means leaving the sea and making a deal with evil Ursula. To top it off, Prince Airwick has his own troubles, with an overbearing mother and two scheming ministers out to skim the royal treasury for as much as they can take. Will Calypso’s friends, like Shellie the Crab, Katy Perrywinkle and of course her helpful, if slightly menacing Codfather, be able to turn the tide in her favour? Find out at

2017 – A Day in Hollywood, A Night in the Ukraine

FVGSS Photos, Shows, Videos

Song and dance, comedy and heartbreak, a little historical documentary thrown in for good measure… A Day in Hollywood, a Night in the Ukraine was the perfect double feature, encompassing real pathos and perfectly ridiculous entertainment in its wide scope.

In the first act, an intrepid team of ushers and usherettes at the historic Grauman’s Chinese Theatre act as hosts and narrators, leading the audience through origin stories, song history, backstage gossip, and stern warnings set to militant tap-dance. In the second act, the audience enters the Theatre itself, and enjoys a deliciously absurd Marx Brothers comedy, complete with piano solos, screaming blondes, an obligatory love plot, patter songs, and the “gookie” face.

This clever, heart-felt pastiche of 1930s Hollywood glory is a fantastic showcase for a small, triple-threat ensemble. The “Marx Brothers” movie “A Night in the Ukraine” is a clever reworking of Chekhov’s The Bear by Dick Vosburgh, and the score by Frank Lazarus, Dick Vosburgh, and Jerry Herman features Jeanette MacDonald mocking “Nelson,” the terrific Groucho number “Samovar, the Lawyer,” and the tarnished gold of broken Hollywood dreams in “The Best in the World.”
