DESCRIPTION:Do you believe in fairies?  Can you save Tinker-Bell?  Can Peter Pan really fly?\nBased on the 1904 play by Sir J.M Barrie\, this is the story of the Darling children who fly away to Neverland to bring stories to the Lost Boys. \nThis is the traditional Peter Pan story with Peter Pan\, Wendy\, John\, Michael\, Tinker-Bell\, Tiger-Lilly plus a large ensemble of lost boys (and girls)\, pirates and natives.  Peter and his mischievous fairy sidekick\, Tinkerbell\, visit the nursery of the Darling children late one night and\, with a sprinkle of pixie dust\, begin a magical journey across the stars that none of them will ever forget. In the adventure of a lifetime\, the travellers come face to face with a ticking crocodile\, the fierce Brave Girls\, a band of bungling pirates and\, of course\, the villainous Captain Hook. \nPeter Pan will be directed by Hayley Goodman with Musical Direction by Megan Holden and Choreography by Amanda Rümenapf.  This production team will mentor an understudy production team of Luca Davis\, Phoebe Evans-Hoeffgen and Nico Lee. \nPeter Pan Jr is being run by our Junior Primary section. \nThis show will be a max of 1.5 hours and is rated G – a great family show with a cast of children aged 8 to year 8.  The season is 29 Sep – 8 Oct. \nPeter Pan Jr – here is the link to all of the information about the Peter Pan workshops and auditions.

SUMMARY:ADDAMS FAMILY
DESCRIPTION:Musical Theatre presents The Addams Family 19th August – 3rd September \nIn the kooky\, upside-down world of the Addams Family\, to be sad is to be happy\, to feel pain is to feel joy\, and death and suffering are the stuff of their dreams. Nonetheless\, this quirky family still has to deal with many of the same challenges faced by any other family\, and the spookiest nightmare faced by every family creates the focus of the musical – the Addams kids are growing up. The Addams’ have lived by their unique values for hundreds of years and Gomez and Morticia\, the patriarch and matriarch of the clan\, would be only too happy to continue living that way. Their dark\, macabre\, beloved daughter Wednesday\, however\, is now an eighteen-year-old young woman who is ready for a life of her own. She has fallen in love with Lucas Beineke\, a sweet\, smart boy from a normal\, respectable Ohio family — the most un-Addams sounding person one could be! And to make matters worse\, she has invited the Beinekes to their home for dinner. In one fateful\, hilarious night\, secrets are disclosed\, relationships are tested\, and the Addams family must face up to the one horrible thing they’ve managed to avoid for generations – change. \nTICKETS ON SALE NOW

SUMMARY:POPCORN AUDITIONS
DESCRIPTION:POPCORN AUDITIONS – 5th February 1pm ONSTAGE 15th – 22nd April 2023\nTimaru\, here comes Ben Elton’s Popcorn. \nAuditions will be for three things:\n1. Popcorn – the Show.\n2. Popcorn – the film segment\n3. Popcorn Live – something a bit different requiring those who love a bit of improv. \nSynopsis – Set in the Beverly Hills home of Oscar winning movie director Bruce Delamitri\, Popcorn is a satirical comedy thriller with the firepower of a hit squad. When notorious killers Wayne and Scout interrupt Bruce’s passionate introduction to Brooke Daniels\, a nude model and actress\, they want more than an autograph from their cinematic idol. Wayne intends to use Bruce’s “art” as justification for murder. Events are disrupted by the arrival of Bruce’s soon to be ex wife and spoiled teenage daughter and his producer. However\, Wayne means to succeed whatever the cost. \nThis is black comedy\, a powerful\, edgy\, challenging piece of theatre. It’ll be great fun. \nCharacter Descriptions\nKarl Brezner – Arrogant Hollywood Producer.\nBruce Delamitri – Hollywood director of violent action movies. Brash\, confident.\nVelvet Delamitri – Bruce and Farrah’s daughter. A youthful early 20’s to be cast as this 15 year old Hollywood princess.\nFarrah Delamitri – Bruce’s soon-to-be ex-wife. Self obsessed.\nWayne Hudson – Southern American redneck. Highly intelligent. Dangerous.\nScout – Wayne’s partner-in-crime and life. Devoted to Wayne. Fragile and unstable.\nBrooke Daniels – Hollywood starlet looking for her big break. Confident. Feisty.\nKirsten and Bill – Film recordist and sound techs. Small roles coming in towards the end. Need to be confident enough to appear in their underwear on stage. \nPopcorn Live.\nPopcorn the play is set around the time Bruce Delamitri wins an Oscar for his movie Ordinary Americans. Popcorn Live is to be performed around the incoming audiences\, whether we get 5 in the audience or a full house. This is set at the Premiere of Ordinary Americans and the foyer will be dressed accordingly. Karl\, Bruce\, Brooke (possibly Velvet and Farrah) will mingle as they wait for the start of this important night. Along with them will be Karl and Bruce’s minder(s)\, journos\, photographers\, fans wanting autographs and selfies\, people protesting the movie’s violence and the two young leads of Ordinary Americans – Kurt Kidman and Suzanne Schaefer. Apart from a couple of hours over a couple of weekends\, there will be no rehearsals for this. I will provide some guidelines around performance and lines (all ad-libbed). Kurt and Suzanne will be required for photographs to be used for posters\, etc. If ad-lib is your thing\, this will be for you. Depending on who auditions will depend on the size of the cast for this. \nFilm Segment\nThis is usually done on stage as part of Popcorn the show. A short segment will be filmed on Stafford Street end of February for the multi-media tech. It will require Wayne and Scout and as many passer-bys as we can get. It will show gun violence and no one under the age of 18 will be cast. One long evenings’ work should knock this out\, but prepare for two. No one apart from Wayne and Scout will have learned dialogue\, the rest we’ll ad-lib on the fly. Plenty of screaming and fear required! \nEnquiries TJ 021 189 2099
