This year, they have taken the ancient Greek story of Pandora and the box of trouble. Here's a synopsis of the play: In the Kingdom of Olympus all is not well.Pandora, a beautiful maiden, was given a Box by Zeus, the most powerful of the Olympian Gods, with the instructions that she must never open it.Pandora possessed an insatiable curiosity and could not resist the temptation. As she cautiously opened the Box, out swarmed hoards of evils and miseries, that until then, had been unknown to mankind!What Pandora did not realize was that when she slammed the Box shut, Hope was the one who remained captive.In a rage, Zeus banished Pandora to the Kingdoms beneath Olympus that she would then be forced to witness the dreadful manifestations of what she had created.Two Naiad lads decided to accompany her in hopes that she would not be lonely.Pan, a Satyr whose Pan-flute music was often heard throughout the land, and Gaea, the Mother of the Earth, helped Pandora and her two Naiad brothers. Eos too, assisted with her four winds. Many adventures follow as the trio meet all kinds of characters, some filled with compassion and love, and some ready to unite with the Evils.Princes and Princesses dance and Musical Notes shudder as Disharmony gets into their midsts. The gentle Moonbeams watch helplessly as Selene, the Goddess of the Moon is taken from them.When the Ripstick Bandits rob Pandora of her Box, a shocking discovery is made! In the glory of the Kingdom of Olympus, magic will be created before your eyes! The romantic aura could only exist when the Greek Gods meet in our Pantomime of 2009.

You can dance if you want or watch the others dance! Some nights theres a live band. Food is usually available from about 7:00 pm but if you go early (say 5:45 pm) you can walk on the pier and perhaps see a great sunset.
