Chitty Chitty Bang Jr

Bardic Theatre presents its first ever summer youth production. For six performances only a province wide of 10 - 18 years will perform in a professionally directed production of Chitty Chitty Bang Jr. The Sherman Brothers classic features traditional family favourites such as Truly Scrumptious, Husabye Mountain and Me Ol' Bam-Boo.

At a rural English garage, two children, Jeremy and Jemima Potts, find a car formerly used for racing in Grand Prix in Europe until it crashed and burned in 1909. When they learn the car is due to be scrapped, they beg their father, inventor Caractacus, to save it; he makes lots of unsuccessful attempts to sell his inventions to raise money to buy it, until he earns tips from a song-and-dance act at a carnival. He purchases the car and rebuilds it with a new name, "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" for the unusual noise of its engine. In the first trip in the car, Caractacus, the children and a wealthy woman they've had awkward encounters with before, Truly Scrumptious, picnic on the beach. Caractacus tells them a tale about nasty Baron Bomburst, the tyrant of fictional Vulgaria, who wants to steal Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
