Community Theatre

Sutherland Theatre Company presents Better Left Said, an original play by local writers Scott Brawley and Robert Stewart, as their first production for 2014.

In mid 2012 Scott and Robert set out to write a 1930’s style radio play in the hope that it would be staged at the Sutherland Memorial School of Arts. Some 20 months later, they find opening night approaching. A curious thing happened along the way, however, their radio play morphed into Better Left Said, a contemporary comedy/drama with a cast of four.

Next up at Castle Hill (NSW) in the Pavilion Theatre’s Adventures in the Foyer series comes a riotous, tongue-in-cheek romp through the good book - The Bible: The Complete Work of God (Abridged) by Adam Long, Reed Martin & Austin Tichenor.

Local performer Mark Thompson’s first foray into writing for the stage has its world premiere at Roleystone Theatre (WA)  in March 2014.

Described as a heartfelt family drama exploring love, loss and life, A House That Jack Built is about parties, family and friends and has equal doses of tragedy, humour and honesty.

Set on two different birthdays in the same man’s life, the play is inspired by events and stories from the playwright’s life.
