Stage – Burnt Thicket Theatre

“Twinkle” was produced by Burnt Thicket Theatre; written by and featuring Jamie Popoff and Andrew Cooper. Pictures by Wanda Reinholdt

Wanda stage managed the tour of Burnt Thicket’s tour of “Hockey Dad”. In 2011, Jamie Popoff asked Wanda to direct an unusual project, an original piece.  The purpose of the piece was redefining Home Theatre and providing a family friendly Christmas party entertainment at home.  “Twinkle: An Interactive, Intergalactic Adventure” was about two feuding brothers.  They revisit the story that ruined their family Christmas but they need the audience’s help. Audience’s are encouraged to clear away a space in the corner of their living room, invite some friends over and dust off their spacesuit.  “Twinkle” lit up living rooms across southern Alberta in November and December of 2011 and 2012.
