Punch up!
By Kat Sandler
Director & Producer | Company: Light in the Dark Theatre
Light in the Dark Theatre was commissioned to bring a comedic production to Rumsey, Alberta in association with the Rumsey Agricultural Society. Therefore, I produced and directed this production of Punch Up! by Kat Sandler and toured it to the small town of Rumsey.
This script is all about the comedy that is found in our tragedies. The theme that I focused on throughout rehearsing this production was how we need other people to help us find the comedy in our own tragedies. Sometimes the tragedies in our lives can seem overwhelming, but with some help from others, we might be able to take a step back and find our joy and laughter once again.
For Light in the Dark Theatre, this script had the perfect combination of hope, joy, darkness and light. We also thoroughly enjoyed bringing theatre to the small rural town of Rumsey, Alberta. We hope to continue our relationship with this community!
