AUDITIONS Operation: Edelweiss (A Panto)
Advertisement
The hills are alive… with intrigue! An undercover agent must infiltrate the home of a retired Captain by posing as a singing nanny. Can she outwit the scheming Baroness? Can she plot the family’s escape? Will she be Von Trapped behind enemy lines? This ridiculous spoof pays “tribute” to one of the great movie musicals of all time.

A word about Mercury Players Theatre's annual panto - these shows encourage audience participation (boo the villain, cheer the hero, etc.), break the fourth wall, include jokes for groans as much as laughs, include slapstick comedy, and pack in as much silliness as we can fit under 2 hours.
