Chitty Chitty Bang Bang comes to BPA (WU-391)

A flying car, a dastardly baron, a secret grotto, a lovable toymaker and a brave brother and sister who surmount all obstacles — can you name that fantastical adventure?

Yes! It’s Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, which opens at Bainbridge Performing Arts on Friday December 1st and runs through Sunday, December 17th.

Listen here as actors Ryan Patrick O’Donnell, Evelyn Cantwell, and Gracie Payne take time out of their busy rehearsal schedule to tell us about their adventures with this fabulous production, the friendships they’re forming, and the lessons they’re learning as they embark on this incredibly ambitious new show.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang will open at BPA on Friday December 1st and run through December 17th, with a pay-what-you-can preview on Thursday November 30th at 7:30. Tickets are on sale now at Bainbridge Performing Arts.org, but they’re going fast, so get yours soon so you, too, can experience the magic of the holidays at Bainbridge Performing Arts!

Land Acknowledgment

“Every part of this soil is sacred in the estimation of my people. Every hillside, every valley, every plain and grove, has been hallowed by some sad or happy event in days long vanished.” – Chief Seattle 1854

We would like to begin by acknowledging that the land on which we gather is within the ancestral territory of the suq̀ʷabš “People of Clear Salt Water” (Suquamish People). Expert fisherman, canoe builders and basket weavers, the suq̀ʷabš live in harmony with the lands and waterways along Washington’s Central Salish Sea as they have for thousands of years. Here, the suq̀ʷabš live and protect the land and waters of their ancestors.
