THURSDAY, JANUARY 24, 2013 THE NEW TANNER 5 Have the homeless invaded Acton Town Hall Centre? Submitted by Roxanne Thornton We c a n t h a n k o u r lucky stars that we are not the homeless huddled in some cardboard box in some dingy alley. Recently, I came upon a group of poorly dressed individuals hanging out across the road from the Acton Town Hall Centre. It shocked me a great deal to see that they had not only made tea and were enjoying the weather, but one of them was even swigging from an old vodka bottle. I was shocked. Homeless in Acton? Upon interviewing the ratty looking bag lady (played by Kathy Sandford) I discovered that this was a rehearsal for an upcoming show at the Acton Town Hall Centre. The award winning comedy " Frozen Dreams" by Robert Ainsworth, directed by Pamela Niesiobedzki-Curtis and produced by Gina Van Raalt ­ all of Georgetown Little Theatre ­ opens at the Town Hall Centre on February 8. T h i s w i t t y, l i g h t hearted comedy about the homeless in a big city at Christmas time was inspired by a haunting newspaper photo of a shoeless youth clutching a frozen Christmas turkey. Tickets can be purchased at the door or at Acton Home Hardware. The show runs for three weekends starting February 8, and has two Sunday matinees as well.
