We've got comedians in our basement!
They're Pilgrim Productions, an independent theatre group encouraged by Pitt St church.
Last year they won the Auckland Community Theatre Trust's Best Comedy award for Charley's Aunt and this June they staged The Day they Kidnapped the Pope - a farce on the theme of religious tolerance.
Pope Albert IV, visiting New York, opts out of his schedule and takes a cab. Jewish cabbie, Sam Liebowitz, happens to be nutty about world peace, so he kidnaps the pope, and demands that the entire world observe 24 hours without violence.The ever-tolerant pope enjoys being kidnapped and supports Sam's bid for peace. A local rabbi and a Catholic cardinal try to rescue the pope, but he doesn't want to be rescued!
Pitt St members on the production included Neil and Kathy Lobb, Elsie Neller, Marion and David Hines, Chris Webb, Chris Lowden, and Ryan Stevens.
