Saturday, April 27, 2024 Running April 26th through May 11 at the RPAC in Okotoks, Kyle review Dewdney's production of Hansel & Gretel with maybe too many dessert metaphors Tickets: https://www.showpass.com/dewdney-players-presents-hansel-and-gretel/ About the Show: Charlotte Chorpenning has taken the Grimm Brothers' story and given it a poetic beauty that brings a value to its young audience. Her treatment of the stepmother does not accent the cruelty — an outlook important today. The evil witch is portrayed as a comedy character, but the teaching value is there — teaching through a comedy device rather than fear. Hansel and Gretel's safe return to their father and mother gives the children a sense of security. Kelly Kozak’s stage adaptation brings Chorpenning’s unique characters to life in a sympathetic and sensitive performance. Join the Patreon: www.patreon.com/onstagingpodcast
