Jamaican Plays

“Which Way Is Out?” canceled performances after opening night at the Little Little Theatre because of telephone problems at their box office, frustrating patrons and potential patrons.

Happily, with the kind cooperation of LIME, the producers confirmed that the telephone line to the ticket office, 906-0003 is now working, and an emergency cellular number 805-4847 has also been added.

The producer, actors and crew apologized profusely to the patrons who have been disappointed, particularly to those overseas visitors on holidays who had left the country without the opportunity of seeing this already acclaimed new work by Basil Dawkins.

Dawkins said that he was sad he was not able to meet the expectations of his faithful patrons, and also lamented the financial devastation. He was however, overjoyed at the response of the brave patrons who attended on opening night. “You see patrons are not going to leave Stony Hill and Red Hills and Manor Parks and drive down to a theatre in Cross Roads without being sure they can get tickets, that is why a telephone number is on all the advertisements, they called, but we could not respond, they were frustrated, we did all we could and we are truly sorry to have had to close the show. Operating a Box Office without a telephone is like trying to drive a vehicle without steering wheel, when the passengers think there is a functioning steering wheel and only the driver knows there is none” said Dawkins, trying to disguise his pain.

“It will be difficult to recover but we won’t give up”. The play is a wonderful, everyone from actors, directors, suppliers, designers have gone out of their way to make sure that those who do see “Which Way Is Out?” will be satisfied beyond their expectations.

Which Way Is Out? reopens with two performances on Thursday, January, 1 at 5:30 PM and 8:30 PM and is scheduled to run Tuesdays to Fridays at 8:30 PM and Saturdays and Sundays 5:30 and 8:30 PM. The play is directed by Douglas Prout and stars Ruth Ho Shing, Sakina, Maylynne Walton, Donald “Ice Man” Anderson, Jerry Benzwick and Jean-Paul Menou.
