THE BATS Theatre Company’s next performance is The Emperor’s New Clothes, a pantomime, with singing, dancing and acting.
The majority of the cast are young-adults, under the age of 18.
Director Dale Mills said to watch out for the “premiere performance from our quiet back stage team.”
“Snappy costumes and a colourful set will certainly entertain all that attend,” Mr Mills said.
All tickets are $8 and the show is being performed in the first week of the school holidays.
“It’s a funny show that I’m having fun rehearsing for. I really enjoy performing in front of an audience, and this gives me a chance too,” Haley, a cast member, said.
The Emperor’s New Clothes will run from 24 to 28 September at Cranbourne Community Theatre, which is located at Cranbourne Secondary College.
For more information or to book tickets phone 9702 2759.
