SUMMARY:Tom\, Dick & Harry
DESCRIPTION:Tom and his wife are about to adopt a baby — it’s the happiest day of their lives… or at least it would have been if Tom’s well-meaning brothers\, Dick and Harry\, hadn’t decided to “help.” \nTheir efforts quickly spiral out of control\, resulting in two illegal immigrants\, a van full of contraband cigarettes\, and one very inconvenient dead body! \nWith the arrival of the Supervisor from the Adoption Agency and the local Police Constable\, Tom’s quick thinking is pushed to the limit. But surely things can’t get any worse… can they? \nOh yes\, they can! \nDick and Harry’s ever-helpful plans go from bad to utterly disastrous\, adding a Russian Mafia mobster and a reality TV crew into the mix. Then it really starts to get complicated! \nWe’re thrilled to present this Amateur Community Theatre Production\, by special arrangement with Samuel French Ltd and Play Bureau Ltd.

This will be on a “general admission” basis as actual seat numbers will be allocated on arrival for each performance to accommodate physical distancing. \n-If there is a return to Level 1 on the 27th our normal seating capacity will be restored. \n– Extra performances have been added to accommodate some of our current bookings (iTicket will provide information on this to those concerned) \n– We have the Ministry of Health COVID -19 code on display at our theatre for your personal tracing \n– Hand sanitiser is available throughout the complex \n– Regular sanitation of our facilities is implemented \n– No Bar or snack sales \n– Physical distancing in the auditorium.

The show must go on. \n\n“Easy Money” \nBy Roger Hall\nDirected by Alice Sollis \nOn Stage Playhouse from 21st to 29th August 2020 \n“Easy Money” is a clever satire about greed\, adapted from Ben Jonson’s 17th century play “The Alchemist”. The story follows two con artists\, Trudi and Stephen\, as they connive to fool their prestigious Auckland neighbours into buying shares in the Auckland Harbour Bridge. If there’s money to be made in a scam\, they know how to do it.\nWith double-crosses\, dirty tricks\, and twists and turns this is Roger Hall at his best.\nRoger Hall said that he saw “The Alchemist” in London and it was “…gut achingly funny. A merchant flees the town to avoid the Plague\, leaving his house in charge of his servant who uses it as a base to defraud as many people as possible.\nBring it up to date. An upfront Auckland Harbour luxury apartment let out via Airbnb to a couple from Australia for a four-week stay… It doesn’t take them long to find others in the apartment block ripe for plucking. And away we go.”

SUMMARY:Hamlet Dies at the End - Tickets on sale NOW!!!
DESCRIPTION:Hamlet Dies at the End\nA comedy by Gavin McGibbon: Playhouse\n1st to 8th November 2019 \nHamlet Dies at the End \nFrom award-winning New Zealand playwright\, Gavin McGibbon\, (‘Holding On’ and ‘Under The Hood’) comes a heart-warming comedy of classic Kiwi characters in a play about a play. \nOf course Hamlet dies at the end\, I hear you say\, but wait – before he does there’s a whole lot of shenanigans with a ragtag bunch of misfits trying to come to terms with life\, each other… oh and Shakespeare’s great tragedy\, Hamlet. \nPerhaps Hamlet Dies at the End would be tragic if it weren’t so comical. It deals with death but nobody dies (completely)\, it gets to grips with some “full-on sh*t” and it ends by affirming life in all its puzzling glory. From 91-year-old Charlie\, whose wife has just left him\, to young Jimmy\, who set fire to his cat\, the characters bring Hamlet to life in ways you never thought possible.

SUMMARY:Auditions The Jailhouse Frocks 31st August
DESCRIPTION:Looking for 6 actors\, 3 women and 3 men.  Singing required.\nAuditions 31 August 10 am to 3pm\nEmail jill@specialevents.co.nz for an audtion time.\nCome prepared with a monolgue and a song from any genre \nPlot:\nShattering dimwitted Officer Dwayne’s tranquil evening at the Birchwood County police station is interrupted by the arrests of three unlikely women; the mayor’s wife in a state of complete alcoholic breakdown\, the local mad cat-lady looking for somewhere to stay out of the rain\, and a dangerous looking New Yorker who has managed to crash her car into the police station while speeding through town. \nThe already chaotic situation descends into mayhem with the arrival of a New York gangster\, disguised as an FBI agent\, hell-bent on exacting revenge on his wife who is locked in the cell. By the end of the night\, the ladies have formed a gang\, sang some songs\, escaped from jail and locked the gangster up in their place\, leaving Officer Dwayne wondering how on earth he’s managed to make the arrest of a lifetime. \nDescribed critically as “a bright\, unabashed stage romp that’s a lot of fun right from the start and guaranteed to lift spirits” The Jailhouse Frocks is a sure fire comedy cracker.\nOfficer Dwayne Pope- Incredibly upbeat\, optimistic and dimwitted\,  He has been transferred from a nearby Police Department to help the Birchwood County Police Department. Birchwood did not get the best deal. Dwayne never fully recovered from a head injury\, although we suspect he was much the same prior to it… he just can be excused now. \nCharacters:\nVoice of the Chief –  The Chief communicates to Officer Dwayne via the police radio. The Chief is frustrated at being short staffed and having to work late. Unfortunately Dwayne hasn’t relieved the Chiefs workload but added to it. \n Cathy Monroe – Cathy has cats. A lot of cats. Due to a cat related insect infestation of her house she is in search of a place to spend the night. She is insightful one moment\, and half-witted and ludicrous the next. One thing she is not; is subtle. \n Elena Davidson – Elena’s entire identity is wrapped around her reputation as the Mayor’s wife. Beneath her educated\, highly strung and pretentious exterior is a woman trying to find her own place in the world. \nGloria Romano – A New Yorker with a tough exterior\, Gloria is\, along with her mobster husband Tony\, hiding out in Birchwood County. Street smart Gloria is quick witted and a shrewd judge of character. She was trying to escape from her husband when she was arrested. \n Tony Romano – New York mafia style gangster on the lam in sleepy Birchwood County with his wife Gloria. Tony is charming\, menacing and very\, very dangerous.

SUMMARY:Blackadder Goes Forth\, Episode 5&6
DESCRIPTION:Based on the outrageous\, funny\, poignant but highly popular TV series\, the South Canterbury Drama League presents Blackadder Goes Forth\, fittingly 100 years to the month from Armistice Day. \nBlackadder Goes Forth is the perfect opportunity for an end of year social event for everyone.  The dinner and show will be on the stage at The Playspace\, Timaru’s newest performance space\, giving the audience a taste of the limelight as they are entertained while enjoying a delicious 2-course meal. (Vegetarian & Diabetic options available on request). \n\nThe setting is 1917 on the Western Front of the First World War\, with another ‘big push’ planned.  For Captain Edmund Blackadder and his fellow dugout companions Baldrick and George\, the major concern is to avoid being sent over the top to certain death.  Can they continue to escape from Melchett’s disastrous battle plans? \nThe play is a stage adaptation of Richard Curtis and Ben Elton’s award-winning series.  It chronicles Blackadder’s attempts to escape the trenches through various schemes\, most of which fail due to bad fortune\, misunderstandings and the general incompetence of his comrades. \nWe start in General Hospital with General Melchett\, angry that his plans always seem to fall into enemy hands\, asks Captain Blackadder to “winkle out” the spy he suspects is housed in the hospital. Blackadder immediately suspects the patient with the thick German accent and a burning curiosity about troop movements but decides to embark on an extremely thorough\, and more importantly – long\, investigation as a way of staying out of the trenches. \nThen it’s Goodbyee. After years of futile trench warfare\, General Melchett gives the order for the “big push”: a suicidal charge across the battlefield towards hundreds of German machine guns. Desperate to avoid participating\, Captain Blackadder hatches a plan to convince his superiors that he has gone insane and therefore cannot go into combat. \nThe production features the idealistic Upper-Class Edwardian twit Lieutenant George; the profoundly stupid but dogged Private S. Baldrick\, the eccentric and clearly mad General Melchett\, the woman of many faces Nurse Mary\, plus other memorable characters.

SUMMARY:ACB with Honora Lee
DESCRIPTION:Based on the award-winning 2012 junior fiction novel by Kate de Goldi. This was adapted for radio and then for the stage by Jane Waddell. It premiered at Circa in 2016. \nDeceptively simple\, this is a very special and moving story of acceptance\, identity\, kindness\, love and patience\, told with playfulness\, subtle humour and empathy. Each character is important\, even if in a non-speaking role. \nThe focus is the relationship between Perry and Honora Lee. As Honora’s scattered mind loses the facility of recall and command of language\, Perry creates new entries in the alphabet book she is making with the help of the residents of Santa Lucia Rest Home. It is a gift of love for her grandmother. Perry realises that an orderly alphabet is impossible\, hence the title ‘The ACB with Honora Lee’. \nThe concept of family is central to the play. Perry says\, “Family time would be quite a lot better if there was more family.’ Nina and Claude fill part of her need\, and the community at Santa Lucia are a ‘family’. Perry feels comfortable and at home there. Disease and death are treated as a natural part of life. Bees occupy Perry’s imagination and curiosity. They are everywhere\, dead and dying. Like the old people at Santa Lucia\, they are social creatures living in colonies. They lead useful lives (pollinating) and then die. \nAlthough there is sadness in the problems of ageing\, and the tragic nature of mental decline\, this is balanced with the humour that naturally arises from confusion. Because of the sensitive way the story is told\, the play is uplifting and the overwhelming feeling is of warmth and hope. \nThe play has a running time of approx. 75 minutes with no interval.

SUMMARY:Mums Choir
DESCRIPTION:Mum’s Choir\, a heartwarming Kiwi comedy about family\, laughter\, love and music. \nWritten by Alison Quigan\, the story revolves around five adult children who gather at the family home to prepare for their mother’s funeral.\nThe five siblings consist of farmer’s wife Cathy (Alice Sollis)\, bachelor music teacher Noel (John Roxburgh)\,Aussie-based used car salesman Kev (Malcolm Eadie)\, pregnant mother of four Terri (Carolyn Willis)\, and University lecturer Jean (Morag Carter). \nThey are joined by Cathy’s son Matt\,(Nathan Butler) – who rushes back from his Army job in the Solomons\, and mum’s sister\, dear old Aunty Nola (Jude Walker). When the children were growing up the house was always full of music and Mum’s dying wish was for the family to sing Fauré’s Requiem at her funeral. So they have their work cut out to learn their parts in time\, not to mention write the eulogy\, organise the catering\, contact Mum’s friends etc. \nThe family have great fun reminiscing with lots of all their old favourite songs\, such as “Amore”\, “In the Mood”\, “The Good Ship Lollipop”\, “Java Jive” and the beautiful Maori song “Hine E Hine”. However\, it’s not all singing or sadness. There are family secrets to be revealed\, cheeky sibling rivalry\, a few tears along the way\, and loads of witty one-liners. Mum’s Choir is not a musical\, it is a play where the actors naturally burst into song fairly often. This delightful play is bound to be a winner.
