Reading for one-act play

Kilcullen Drama Group is holding a reading for anyone interested in taking part in an upcoming one-act play, 'Papa Panov's Magic Christmas' on Wednesday 27th October, 8pm in the Town Hall.

The story concerns an old shoemaker who dreams that Jesus will visit him on Christmas Day. All day long he waits but the only visitors are a tramp, a roadsweeper and a woman with a baby. Selflessly he gives them his coat, his money and his soup. He falls asleep in the evening tired, feeling ridiculed and disappointed. He has another dream in which it appears that his special visitor did come after all ...

This adaptation of a story by Leo Tolstoy is narrated by a storyteller and is a perfect play for Christmas.

Rehearsals are also well underway for 'Operation Christ Child', a seasonal one act play which will be held from December 8-12 in the Town Hall. The story is about an elite band of angels who must make sure that everything goes to plan for the first Christmas.

Meanwhile, the Drama Group is bringing back the one-act play, 'Two for a Girl', which was part of a programme of one-act plays recently performed in the theatre.
