Happy New Year,  and welcome back to the Labrish.

This week we take a stroll down memory lane for a look at

one of the memorable events of the holiday season, the

opening of the Pantomime on Boxing day.

 

The Little Theatre Movement (LTM) has the distinction of being Jamaica’s longest theatre company of contemporary times. It was founded in 1941 by Henry Fowler and Greta Bourke (later

Fowler) to raise funds for the building of a Little Theatre, and to help in the development of drama in Jamaica. From its inception, the LTM committed itself to a vigorous policy of serving the public and continues to do so today. From the first production in 1941 of: “Jack & the Beanstalk” to the 2012 production of: “Anansi & Goat Head Soup” , there is lots for 'labrish’ fans to discover and discuss.

Join us as we bring the history of Henry & Greta’s passion to life. So, if you or someone you know have memories to share, be sure to join the Labrish.
