Children’s theatre returns to live shows in Penticton

Penticton Herald, Apr 17, 2022

Since 1992, The “Nearly World-Famous” Dufflebag Theatre has traveled the globe with original adaptations of fairy tales and classic stories. With wit and humour for all ages, DuffleBag creates theatrical magic by inviting audience members to be the stars of the show.

The result is an exciting, interactive and unique experience for all. It’s no wonder Dufflebag performs over 600 shows annually, at theatres, schools and festivals across North America and beyond.

“We are thrilled to bring Dufflebag Theatre back to Penticton after our two-year hiatus,” says Maria Mackenzie of The Children’s Showcase.

“This will truly be a magical show to mark our return back to live theatre. Everyone will no doubt leave with a huge smile on their face.”

In the Dufflebag version of Three Musketeers, young country lad D’Artagnan’s arrival in Paris becomes complicated by his stumbling onto Cardinal Richelieu’s secret plot to seize the throne, and he accidentally alienates the very Musketeers he seeks to warn. Fortunately the Queen’s lady-in-waiting, Constance, is there to help him stop the dastardly plot.
