Rock The Boat! is the ninth British Pantomime performed annually at the The Burgdorff Center for the Performing Arts. “I can’t imagine Maplewood without a panto now,” former Suburban Legend producer Kathleen Ash-Milby told us.

Formed by Ridley and Chrissy McIntyre in 2014, Suburban Legend welcomes everyone. The company includes a mix of amateur and semi-professional performers who want to work as a collaborative team to create good fun for everyone, young and old, cast and crew and audience.

“Every year we come across people who have never heard of British Pantomime, or who upon hearing the term, immediately think of French men fighting their way out of imaginary boxes,” says writer and director, Ridley McIntyre. Panto, as it is affectionately known, is actually a boisterous, family-friendly show filled with slapstick, witty dialogue and a few wink-wink jokes for the adults. “It’s the kind of show where you can bring your kids and you don’t have to shush them,” says writer and producer Chrissy McIntyre. “In fact it’s the opposite. Be loud! We want you to be loud!”

Performances for Rock The Boat! are at the Burgdorff Center for the Performing Arts in Maplewood on January 7-9, and 14-16 2022. Door Admissions are Adult $20, Child $15.
