In 2017, Friends and I wrote a British-style panto, “Cinderella at the Christmas Ball,” which proved to be the most successful production to that time at Norwich Arts Center’s Donald L. Oat Theater. They wanted more. 2018 saw the again successful production of my “Snow White and the Several Dwarves: A Panto.” In 2019 I collaborated with James Kenney on “The Treasure Of Christmas Island,” another success. We do not know what the 2020 holiday theater season holds In view of COVID-19. But one day there’ll be a “Jack and the Christmas Beanstalk.” Bringing The Panto to the southeastern Connecticut population has been very gratifying, and the only thing that passes for work around here since 2013. That makes me perfectly happy.
