A cat that talks?

Puss in Boots, the famous trouble-shooting talking cat, is helping his new friend Dick Twittington get to the London Olympics. They start their journey at Krapplewnats Traning Camp only to find that the other athletes have been meeting with some nasty accidents. There’s something sly afoot here… Who’s at the bottom of all these terrible goings-on? Can Puss & Dick save the day and get to London? Or will they suffer the same fate as the other athletes and find themselves off on a stretcher?

To find out the answer to these and many other silly questions, come to SPAT’s (Stanwell Park Arts Theatre) annual Christmas pantomime. A whole bunch of fun for the family, Puss in Boots – an Olympic Tale, is to be staged at Stanwell Park CWA, 1 The Drive, Stanwell Park. The dates are Saturday, 3 December at 2pm and 7.30pm, Friday, 9 December at 7.30pm, Saturday 10 December at 7.30 and Sunday, 11 December at 4pm.

A talented and enthusiastic cast working with director Mark Rylander has been rehearsing for months. Production is in the capable hands of Cameron Campbell, Wayne Turner and Rebecca Barrow. The script was specially written for SPAT by Cameron Sharp.

SPAT is proud of its tradition of fostering talent, and providing a worthwhile activity for the district’s young and not-so-young people.

Ticket prices — adults: $15, students and concession:$10, family (2 adults, 3 children): $45. They can be booked by phoning 4294-4060. See SPAT’s website for more info,  www.spat.org.au
