The Phantom Tollbooth

4:10 p.m Tech and Dress Rehearsal for The Phantom Tollbooth
During one scene in the show several performers used a phone to provide individual light. Clever, effective and captivating.

The Acting 11/12 class at Gulf Islands Secondary presents its sharp-witted-end-of-semester show tonight (Wednesday) through Friday at ArtSpring Theatre, 7:30 pm. Tickets are $10.

Here’s the press release:

GISS DRAMA PRESENTS THE PHANTOM TOLLBOOTH

Embark on a magical adventure with The Phantom Tollbooth, adapted for the stage by Gulf Islands Secondary School grades 11/12 acting students.

The Phantom Tollbooth is a story about a boy named Milo, who can never work out what to do with himself. One day, a magical tollbooth suddenly appears in his bedroom and transports him into a land much different from his own. There he meets a cast of quirky characters such as the Whether Man, the Humbug, the Dodecahedron, King Azaz, and the Mathemagician. Milo is accompanied by his trusty automobile and dog named Tock as he goes on a journey to rescue two Princesses and return peace to the Kingdom of Knowledge.

    Thanks Tamar. In the heat of the rehearsal run-though, it felt like a good shot. But you never know with the speed things change (no time for checking the camera screen)!
