An 6.added feature t "Ala0din" was the fact that it qualified kinder the Ontario HalfbackPlan for admission to. Canadian performances. Past president of the troupe, Sandra Lee., said the Half- back plan of turning in used Wintario tickets for discounts on ticket prices proved quite popular and many people took advantage of the offer. The two -act play was set in Peking. The interesting part about "Aladdin!' was the role reversal of the principal characters. Ian Deslauriers played an amusing and cantankerous Widow Twankey who pursued a meek and mild Wishy Washy played by Steve Penny. The story revolved around the boy Aladdin and his magical 'lamp. Donna Haskins portrayed Aladdin with a suitably vile Fred Martinovic as his Wicked Untie. Linda Young played the princess, Aladdin's love interest, with Cheryl Hub- bard as her Lady -in -Waiting. Brenda Deyell played the Fairy Queen while Carol Johnstone portrayed the Genie. Dr. Jim Hall's booming voice served him well as the Mandarin of Peking and Terry Nesbitt .played the mandarin's "yes -Man" Major DOmo, English -style theatre 'counts On a lot of audience: participation which was the case in ` "Aladdin".

There was also .an unex- pected visit. from Santa Claus during the in- termission. He helped Ms. Lee draw the names of, two people who will receive free tickets to the troupe's next production in March. Draw winners were Grace Hodgkinson and Sylvia Ricker. The Towne Players have attracted many new Members this year. New faces in last week's production included Terry Nesbitt, Fred Martinovic, Cheryl Hubbard, Brenda Deyell, Carol Johnstone and Jim Hall. The Towne Players have a very busy year ahead of them. Casting for their March production of "Plaza Suite", a Neil Simon comedy, will begin the first week in January.
