Thursdays oat Hendre Hall white Presentation House
Productions is gettiny: set for its first in-house production of
the season = James Goldman's The Lion in’ Winter - opening
November 1.

The Curious Savage is a fanciful comedy that takes place in a
New England retreat in the 1950s, while The Lion in Winter is
a witty modern take on how the war of succession might have
taken place in the court of Henry IH.

Curiously enough, The Lion in Winter was the first produc-
tion for North Vancouver Community Players that 1 got
involved with (in a particularly ugly shade of puce as I reall)
some 16 years ago. Bob Weakes pl the title role and David
McIntosh directed. This time Weakes sits in the director’s chair
while McIntosh struggles to grow his hair longer.

Before Lion opens vou can still catch the final two perfor-
mances of Uncle Randy Productions’ A Grand Night For
Staging October 25/26.

Unele Randy is a talented musical group and if you like
Rodgers and Hammerstein favorites like Surrey With The Fringe
On Top, Some Enchanted Evening and Ob, Whar A Beautiful
Morning this musical revue’s for vou. Information from 980-
7950.

Presentation House is a busy theatre these days. It will also
be hosting the Vancouver Guild of Puppetry’s Fall Festival of
Shows on the next three Saturday afternoons. So if you've got
wee ones Who are not quite ready for prime-time theatre this
could be worth checking out.
