Show is postponed
Woy Woy Little Theatre has postponed the opening of its first show of the year, the Underpants, to Friday, February 25, after the lead actor Mr Shaun Tinkler suffered a heart attack just days before the scheduled opening on Friday, February 18.
Mr Tinkler is recovering in Gosford Hospital after having a stent put in following his heart attack on Tuesday, February 15.
The lead role will now be played by Mr Steve Killeen who will spend the week learning lines.
The season will be extended for one week to include Friday, March 11, at 8pm and Saturday, March 12, at 2pm and 8pm.
Patrons who booked tickets for the initial opening will be offered alternate performances and should have received a phone call from the box office staff.
