The Petrolia Community Theatre presents a new Christmas Comedy, “Revenge of the Three Little Pigs”, by Doug Wright. It’s a hilarious look at your favourite storybook characters in a boisterous, colourful tale. This is a lively comedy for people of all ages with plenty of physical escapades for youngsters as well as political and local humour for adults.
The story: Queen Cinderella and King Charming rule Fairy tale land in peace and harmony, until their rebellious daughter, Princess Ella, pursues a Hollywood romance with a handsome but unsuitable commoner. To add to their problems, the Three Little Pigs are having housing problems due to a big bad wolf… every full moon. The Fairy Godmother could clear up this mess, but she is on maternity leave. Forced into action, the pigs overthrow the royals and take justice into their own hands…or hoofs. But can a pig dabbling in politics be piglitically correct? Add to this lot: Cinderella’s demanding Step-Mother, swarms of adorable little bees and a musically talented busker, to create a fun-filled evening for everyone.

When the town boundaries change leaving half the saloon dry, the church (in desperate need of a building) moves into the dry half. What follows is action-packed fun as they sort it out. It’s minister vs bartender, saloon girl vs church lady, barroom brawls vs. hymn singing… and the town drunk is on his own. But, can they work together to save the building?
Set in the 1800’s, a remote town out west somewhere. Summer. The play opens with a bar room brawl complete with breaking furniture and someone going through the window! The whoop-it-up western comedy has it all: flirty saloon girls, fighting cowboys, and a honky tonk piano player. It also has a nervous Preacher, some feisty church ladies and a shootout!
