This is the second post about the film Who Killed Christmas? Here’s a post by Boma Cooley-Gam

Two years ago, I was interviewed about the ending of an era. Sarasvàti Productions said good bye with a documentary that was shown April 20th, 2024, at the Asper Theatre Centre. As It Happens Productions interviewed former performers and all associated with this groundbreaking theatre company to create this documentary in 2022. Currently, I’m told it’s being shown to documentary film festivals but sometime afterwards it’ll be posted to YouTube, so stay tuned.

I’m doing a fringe show with Leith Clarke in the summer called The Spice of Life.

Also revamping The Mousetrap with Dramatic Theatre in Gimli. More info to come.
