Witchie Poo salutes Halloween

The Witchie Poo Players present their 34th annual Halloween Extravaganza stage show, the 2014 “Witchie Poo Halloween Extravaganza: MTV (Monster TV) Music Video Awards” in two weekend matinees at 2 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 25, and Sunday, Oct. 26, at the Sebastiani Theatre, 476 First St. E., in Sonoma.

This year’s program features performances by a cast of more than 60 Witchie Poo Players, ages 4 years old and up.

Hosting this star-filled event are The Wizard (Philip Sales) and Dorothy of Oz (Rebecca Hengehold) who will be presenting the awards. In addition to Lemmy and Poo, other marvelously talented nominees for these prestigious Monster TV Music Video Awards include the enchanting Witchie Poo Players; the mesmerizing Roger Rhoten, The Magic Man; the zany Cruise Brothers, Jake & Elwood (Bob Gossett and Andrew Spear) along with their Cousin Luis (Luis Contreras); the notoriously unlovely Count Flatula (Spencer Rank); and dazzling hip hop tap dance numbers, including “Monster Mash,” “Time Warp,” and more, all choreographed by the multi-talented Mike Snider.

The special pre-show “Poo Orchestra” entertainment features that dynamo drummer, “Animal” (Rod Leeburg), the familiar, hairy, bright yellow monster, who will add his thumping and chiming percussive elements to the melee, along with the popular Bob Gossett on guitar, and keyboardist Cat Austin of ETC.

The Sebastiani Theatre is now “in full costume,” because of the hard work of Susan Bellach.

Come in costume for the intermission costume parade and a chance to draw for an array of prizes. Doors open at 1:30 p.m. for each 2 p.m. matinee.

Advance general seating tickets are available at Readers’ Books and the Sebastiani Theatre. Tickets are $8 for children (12 and under) and seniors over 62; and $10 for those ages 13-61. Call 996-9756 to reserve tickets. VISA and MasterCard are accepted.
