Annie at the Kelowna Actors Studio

08/12/11

“The sun’ll come out, tomorrow, so you gotta hang on till tomorrow, there’ll be sun…” Sounds familiar, doesn’t it? It makes me want to hum along; and in the Kelowna Actors Studio production on Annie (until December 17) the popular tunes are brought to life by a talented cast.Full Story

"There Is Nothin' Like A Dame"

20/07/11

I took in Kelowna Actors Studio production of South Pacific the other night. Amazingly good. I don't know why this uber-talented group refers to itself as amateur. They are consumate professionals and it shines through in every line, every stanza and every lighting cue in this latest effort.Full Story

South Pacific Opens to Standing O!

19/07/11

Kelowna Actors Studio opened South Pacific to a standing ovation on Thursday night and for a good reason -- they have once again put together a rock solid cast, Gwen Plitt sparkles as Nurse Nellie and Mark Sorestad nearly steals the show as Luther Billis. The singing is sensational, especially the big group numbers, and the set and costumes also work well.Full Story

South Pacific delivers an enchanting evening

Westside Weekly
The big question in the iconic story of South Pacific is whether the romance factor is more threatened by war or by bigotry. But the serious themes are overshadowed by the music of Rodgers and Hammerstein. No one has ever been able to touch their kind of musical genius and it is showcased beautifully by Kelowna Actors’ Studio’s presentation of South Pacific.

Into the Woods mixes hilarity and agony

It’s not often a costume steals the show. But when that costume is a ludicrous white cow and clothes a talent like Joel Field, the result at the opening night of Kelowna Actors’ Studio’s Into The Woods was exactly a show-stealer.
Besides giving a highly funny play its most comedic moments, Milky White, as the cow is affectionately known, seems to defy the human body’s ability in contortionism. What’s more, that cow can dance.
Stephen Sondheim, lyricist and composer, took a book by James Lapine and created the musical Into The Woods, which juggles a collection of our favourite Grimm’s fairy tales and gives them a twist.

A Must See Production!

31/05/11

Huge congratulations to Kelowna Actors Studio for its production of Into the Woods. I managed to catch opening night and have to say it is my favourite KAS production I've seen in a few years. The Sondheim score is brilliant and the casting for this production is second to none. I was hard pressed to remember these are not full time professional performers because they have taken it up to the highest standard.Full Story

Kelowna Actors Studio has another musical featuring some of Kelowna‘s finest vocal talents with its show, Sweet Charity. Tracy Ross does a magnificent job of bringing out both the playful and vulnerable side of Charity Valentine, the dance hall girl looking for love.
Randy Leslie plays the part of the neurotic boyfriend she meets when the two get trapped in an elevator together and when you put the vocal talents of these two together in a show, it‘s a recipe for success. Full Story

I can't imagine it's easy taking a Neil Simon Broadway production, originally choreographed by Bob Fosse no less, and turning it into a local hit...but they've done it! And they've done it Big Time.Full Story
