The Whimsy State or the Principality of Outer Baldonia

Join us for the almost true fish story of the Principality of Outer Baldonia! A Canadian comedy to brighten our spirits. We'll be doing this on Zoom, with a few more embellishments than last time. We are also adding a donation option so you can support community theatre in Summerland. You may have noticed we haven't been able to do anything in over a year, due to COVID restrictions. We are looking forward to performing for a live audience again but in the meantime, we hope you enjoy our presentation on Zoom.

Al Toots as Elson Boudreau

In the last couple of years, prior to COVID, Al has been fairly active with Penticton Chamber Theatre, Summerland Singers & Players and Many Hats Theatre Co.  He has played a Doomy character in “Little Box of Oblivion”, a senior in an old folks home in “Bench in the Sun”,

Marc Antony in “A Toast to Shakespeare”, Juror #8  in “12 Angry Jurors” and the grouchy Landlord

in “Nana’s Naughty Knickers”.  He had a wonderful time playing Dante/Fred in “Swing Dance” with the fabulous team at Many Hats and then a great travelling show in a one act comedy of frustration “Able Cable”.  And now he’s trying something very new, ZOOM theatre, but once again he finds himself working with a wonderful team of players in “Whimsy State or The Principality of Outer Baldonia

I moved to Summerland in 2015 and joined SS&P 2016. I have had the privilege of participating in the events done by SS&P ever since. From centre stage to the KVR murder mysteries and now Zoom. Such great fun and always an adventure!

James began his journey in live theatre 21 years ago. He will always be grateful for that discovery. It opened up a world of fun and friendships that has been a wonderful experience overall. If you ever thought it might be fun to try, James says, "Go for it."

DIRECTOR

A graduate of Studio 58 in the area of Stage Management, and a graduate of Simon Fraser University's School for the Contemporary Arts, Dawn was involved in theatre as props manager to a director and everything in between for more than 20 years before taking a hiatus to get a Masters Degree in Library and Information Science and raise a family. Missing the camaraderie of "putting on a show," Dawn joined Summerland Singers and Players in 2017 and since then has directed and performed in several plays, most recently, the wildly popular, Murder on the Rails at the Historic KVR railway in Summerland. Dawn is looking forward to being able to see and participate in live theatre again but until then is trying new ways to explore theatre in our current Covid environment.
