New shows for the 2011/2012 season of Razzamataz
#1 “A Christmas Carol”
Presented by DuffleBag Theatre Company
2 pm Sunday, November 13, 2011 at the Northern Lights Theatre
Get into the holiday spirit as DuffleBag Theatre presents A Christmas Carol. This is a hilarious encounter for children and adults alike and a truly unique theatrical experience where the dream of living a fairy tale actually does come true!
#2 “Circus Terrifico”
Presented by Motus O Dance Threatre
2pm Sunday, January 15, 2012 at the Northern Lights Theatre
We first meet our performers boarding the train to their next show. A case of vanishing tickets, however thwarts their plans and strands them on the platform. It takes every trick in the book (and their suitcases) to create an impromptu show to raise money for new tickets. Performed with the signature MOTUS O physicality and humour, see for yourself how a little magic, some juggling, tight-rope walking and fortune telling can fulfill every childs fantasy to ‘run off and join the circus!’
#3 “Sheesham and Lotus”
Presented by Sheesham and Lotus
2pm Sunday, February 26, 2012 at the Northern Lights Theatre
Sheesham and Lotus hold concerts for the young and old alike. Steeped in the traditions of the past, Sheesham and Lotus pass on methods for music making that come from a time when instruments were scarce and mass media unheard of. A time when families entertained themselves with dance, music and stories. The music of Sheesham and Lotus could be described as American roots music. They love to play fiddle tunes, hokum blues songs and ragtime string music.
#4 “Babar”
Presented by Little Red Theatre
3pm Sunday, April 15, 2012 at YMCA Camp Wanakita
Babar by Jean De Brunhoff tells the story of a young elephant who leaves the jungle, visits a big city and returns to the jungle to share his successes and discoveries with the other elephants. He becomes a king, has children Pom, Flora, Alexander and Isabel and teaches them all his valuable lessons!
