The End Is Nigh

The End Is Nigh

As we stand on the cusp of entering the Festive Season, BATS is thrilled to be bringing you two rocking, celebratory shows to see out 2010!

Minge opens on Wednesday, and this one is definitely not just for the ladies. Golden trees, a chaise lounge and various instruments are being packed in as we speak, and I am looking forward to seeing the puppets when they get here... Check it out!

And BATS spectacular fundraising Christmas event Christ Almighty! has four opening nights, starting with the first of our multiple casts on Thursday. Each night a different combination of actors will be tackling this irreverant retelling of the Christmas legend, so you are guaranteed a unique brand of craziness each night! Casting for just the right doll to play Baby Jesus is currently underway...

And with the 3rd Annual Chapman Kip Awards taking place at BATS this Friday we have a very busy building! This is on top of the ACTUAL Chapman Tripps which are on at the Opera House this Sunday. So make sure you get along to at least one (or both) of these great theatre Christmas parties!

All the best for the coming season - enjoy the sun, and be careful who you get caught with under the miseltoe...
