Pantomime casts a spell

Contributed by Diane Hobson

THE Maleny Players Christmas pantomime ‘The Magic Opal’, written and directed by Rob Hobson and co-directed by Kim Zwalf, was performed last weekend at the Playhouse, was once again a resounding success. The Fairy Godmother (Kim Zwalf) set the scene and encouraged a very receptive audience to participate in true pantomime style with lots of ‘booing ‘and “Oh Yes, it is” reverberating around the theatre.

Comments on social media included “The future looks great for the Maleny Players if you’re capturing the enthusiasm and potential of youth.

The mutual opportunities for growth are plentiful” (Catherine Day) and from Clair Bear “Thanks to the cast and crew for showing the young ones how it’s done, keeping them safe and happy and encouraging them so much.  Benji loved the whole thing and came home today on a huge High”.  We would like to thank everyone who came along to see the pantomime and look forward to seeing you at the playhouse 2023.

The Maleny Players committee are planning a full program for 2023.  If anyone is interested in becoming involved with the Maleny Players with either; participating in our play readings, performing, directing, sound and lighting; working backstage and props and/or would like to receive our monthly newsletter, please email malenyplayers.org.
