The Grey Wellington Theatre Guild (GWTG) Youth Company is staging a zany summer show at the Town Hall Theatre here.
The Adventures of Bibblebunnyboo and Mikamukamoo features a cast of 25 local youth actors between the ages of six and 16.
The play is the fourth annual summer production staged using only youth actors, directed by the mother/daughter team of Peggy and Megan Raftis.
It’s also the third play written by Megan, specifically for the GWTG youth production.
“We want to provide a chance for young people to experience the whole process of putting a show together, right from auditions, through rehearsals, to the actual performance,” said Peggy.
“They really respond well to the challenge.”
While the main goal is creating a play that’s fun for kids, Megan says the show will appeal to audiences of all ages.
The story follows two imaginative sisters as they set out on a fantastical quest to cure boredom, dragging along an assortment of reluctant friends and passersby.
The Adventures of Bibblebunnyboo and Mikamukamoo plays July 26 and 27 at 7:30pm and July 28 at 2pm.
Tickets are $5 and available at the door or at Harriston Home Hardware.
