This Is That show hits Lougheed stage By Murray Green
If you love the CBC radio show This Is That, then you will enjoy the live performance in Camrose. This Is That will be at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing
Arts Centre on Thursday, Nov. 16 at 8 p.m. Stars Pat Kelly and Peter Oldring offer audiences an intimate look behind the studio door of CBC’s award-winning satirical radio show, This Is That. With a healthy mix of
character interviews and mockumentary stories, this live send up of public radio doesn’t just report the news…it makes it up. Nothing is off limits– politics, business, culture, justice, science–if it’s relevant to Canadians, This Is That finds a way to fab-
And Then There Were None
ricate a story. If you have ever been curious how just two guys provide all the voices for this completely improvised radio comedy, well this is the show for you. The radio show will be brought to life on the Lougheed stage.
The Churchmice Players rendition of Agatha Christie’s murder mystery, And Then There Were None, features great local acting at the Bailey Theatre. Tania Nease did a good job putting the cast together and directing the Churchmice Players in one of the greatest murder mysteries ever. Ten strangers are summoned to a remote island. The scene of the play is the living room of the house on Soldier Island. The costumes reflected the early 1940s, which was the time period for the murder mystery. The set designers tried to create the scene of a living room from the same time period. All that the guests have in common is a wicked past they’re unwilling to reveal and a secret that will seal their fate. For each has been marked for murder. As the weather turns and the group is cut off from the mainland, the bloodbath begins and one by one they are brutally murdered in accordance with the lines of a sinister nursery rhyme. The Churchmice Players will have more than one ending of And Then There Were None, so you get to play detective to solve the mystery. The 10 main characters are Philip Lombard (Jason Adam), Sir Lawrence Wargrave (Mike Hicks), Emily Brent (Marlene MaertensPoole), Dr. Armstrong (Ron Nease), Thomas Rogers (Dale Adam), William Blore (Bradley Moshuk), Ethel Rogers (Marla Moshuk), Vera Claythorne (Desiree De Kock), Anthony Marston (David Salmon) and General MacKenzie (Ken Davy). Fred Narracott (Darryl Bleau) is the boat captain that brings the crew to the island. All of the cast performed well with only a few hesitations. Hicks, de Kock, Jason Adam, Salmon and Bradley Moshuk all turn in stellar performances. People in the audience were seen whispering to the person next to them with thoughts on who the murderer was. The cast kept everyone guessing, especially knowing they have two different endings to choose from. If you judge the acting on not knowing who was the murderer, the Churchmice Players did a superb job. Although the play is a bit long for most people, I would recommend everyone going to play detective. It will be a fun outing. The murder mystery will have four more shows (Nov. 16, 17 and 18 at 8 p.m. and a matinee at 2 p.m. on Nov. 18). Check for dinner theatre performances.
