MEDICINE HAT, AB – Medicine Hat Musical Theatre opened a show this past weekend that is a change in direction from the usual song and dance performance. The new production is a British farce with no singing or dancing whatsoever.

Eleven actors take to the stage and perform Up Pompeii! and while they get most of the audience’s attention, there are more than 40 crew members supporting them in the background. CHAT TV’s Lynnette Schneider and Bob Schneider went to rehearsals over the last two weeks and got this look behind the curtain at Up Pompeii!
