Something Unique & Special is going to be happening on the Cow Patti Stage
Cow Patti has cast three local young talent to make their debut performances on a professional stage in our production of Ethan Claymore’s Christmas. Within the show, Norm has penned the script to bring the audience back in time where brothers, Ethan and Martin are seen as their younger selves. We have double cast Young Ethan with two up and coming talents; Liam Dean and Nolan Carr.
Liam is a grade 7 student at Father Lacombe Catholic School who has been a part of the Cow Patti family since he was a little fella and Nolan is a grade 8 at Iron Ridge Junior Campus in Blackfalds who has worked with AnnaMarie in past with CPTC’s Youth Theatre Camps.
Taking on the role of Young Martin is the very talented Owen Hamilton, a grade 12 student at Lacombe Composite High. Owen has performed with Cow Patti through the Youth Theatre Camps held at the Lacombe Performing Arts Center. As well, Owen has done a lot of technical work for Cow Patti over the years, and we are just thrilled to see him on stage .
Auditions were held in June for these roles, and we were so impressed with the talent that came out but when it came down to it Owen, Liam and Nolan brought a little something extra and we are absolutely delighted to have them join the “Herd”
