Many Hats Theatre Company is inviting you to join the birthday fun. It’s two weeks away for the Penticton acting troupe to debut Phil Olson’s hilarious ‘Birthday Club’ at the Many Hats Theatre in Penticton.
Rehearsals are going great, everyone’s having way too much fun, the set looks fabulous, and there’s even birthday cake! All they need now is you, said a press release.
