New Westminster and Burnaby residents are featured in a holiday pantomime by the Fraser Valley Gilbert and Sullivan Society.
Keira Jang and Gillian Myers are part of the chorus for The Frog Princess, under the direction of fellow local resident Mike Balser.
The original panto was written by Balser, along with Cathy Willmot and Norma Rushton, based on the Russian fairytale of the same name.
"Things are good and bad for the Tsar of Russia. He has found a beautiful bride to marry as soon as he can select a wedding site," explains a synopsis. "On the bad side, his fiancée is a witch. She has turned his daughter into a frog to keep the daughter quiet about her plans to rule all of Russia. Fortunately, the frog princess has some good friends who will help her break the spell and try to warn her father about his future bride."
The show opens tonight (Wednesday, Nov. 27) at 7:30 p.m. and runs Wednesday to Saturday until Dec. 8 at the Surrey Arts Centre theatre. Shows are Wednesday through Saturday evenings at 7:30 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday afternoons at 2:30 p.m.
Tickets are $26 regular, or $20 for children, students and seniors. Call 604-501-5566 for tickets.
