Community Theatre

Quite often, I hear people say “Yeah I got in, but only in the ensemble” and I wonder why they sound so disappointed.  Being an ensemble member can be one of the most important roles in the show, it’s what holds the show together and makes it the spectacle that it is.  Imagine shows like Hairspray, Wicked or Les Misérables without an ensemble - they would be nowhere near as energetic or mesmerizing as we now know they are! 

With over 122 costumes made, Four-Letter-Word Theatre has done a photo shoot to celebrate their completion for their upcoming production of NINE.

Disney’s Beauty and the Beast – In Concert opened to a full house on Thursday night marking the beginning of a new venture for Waterdale Players in the form of their first concert-format show. Many of us have grown up in admiration of such Disney classics, which, from year to year, capture the imaginations of children and adults alike.

Albert Herring, a light-hearted chamber opera by Benjamin Britten, has been given a very sumptuous treatment by Victorian Opera.

Jekyll and Hyde is a mammoth show for any company to tackle. Leongatha Lyric Theatre has taken a risk with this show, and in many aspects that risk has paid off.

There is something about A Chorus Line that resonates with people who love musical theatre: the hopes, dreams, and ambitions of a group of performers as they audition for a place in the chorus of a Broadway show beautifully encapsulates our own dreams of ‘making it’. A simple but effective representation of the gathered stories of a group of Broadway hopefuls and with a great score and book, A Chorus Line continues to be a relevant reflection on the joys and disappointments of show business, as fresh as it was when it opened on Broadway in 1975.
