-

What happenswhe­na group of orange road cones, a stranger toNew Zealand’s shoresname­d Dorothy, Barry, Katikati’s watchman, and Omokoroa’s lizard Dizzy go in search of the Wonderful Wizard of BOP?

Local writers Julie Thomas, Di Logan and Francis Young have written a fun-filled family pantomime that explores exactly that. Will Garry Webspinner, the Wonderful Wizard of BOP, help them to achieve their goals?

Dorothy wants her fine for illegal freedom camping wiped, Barry is most desirous of a bypass around Katikati and Dizzy is desperate for a roundabout at theOmokoro­aturnoff.

Be prepared to find yourself toe tapping tosome familiar tunes as they wind theirwayth­roughmany obstacles tomakeit to BarkingMad Corner in their search. Youwill need tocomealon­g to performanc­es of The Orange Cone Road to find out if their requests will be granted by the Wizard. That is of course if theymake it to BarkingMad­Corner to meet Gary Webspinner at all.

There is limited seating so book early to avoid disappoint­ment. Tickets are nowon sale at the Informatio­n Centre at the Arts Junction in Main Rd, Katikati. i

There are five performanc­es next week — Wednesday, November 25, Thursday, November 26, Friday, November 27, Saturday, November 28 at 7pm and Sunday, November 29 at 2pm. Cost $15 adults, $10 school age children, cash or eftpos.
