Community Theatre

Phoenix Ensemble is set to take audiences on a wild trip of drugs of debauchery – but it’s all in the name of poking fun at propaganda.

Reefer Madness, playing at Beenleigh’s Pavilion Theatre for five weekends in May and June, is a parody musical inspired by a 1936 ‘educational’ film of the same name. The Phoenix production marks its Queensland premiere.

A mysterious new musical based on the life, loves and creative passions of Edgar Allen Poe, Nevermore will be staged by Playlovers (WA) from May 3 – 18, 2013.

The lyrics to the songs and much of the dialogue of Nevermore have been taken from Poe’s poetry and prose, with the splashes of his macabre stories.

Stage Whispers TV takes you exclusively to the number one event on the community theatre scene in New Zealand.

Each year Musical Theatre New Zealand hosts a superbly organised conference (and party). In 2013 it was held in Dunedin, known as the Edinburgh of the south.

Enjoy a taste of the entertainment on offer, take a peak at the glorious 1928 Regent Theatre and the impressive club house of Musical Theatre Dunedin.

More coverage will be in our May / June 2013 print edition.

The Bunbury Repertory Club’s (WA) next production, Mystery on the Orient Express, opens on the 17th of May promising a fun-filled evening of mayhem, mishaps and laughter.

It is a classic comedy that will have the audience laughing throughout the entire show while watching the bubbling Holmes, Inspector Gadget, Miss Marples and the Can Can girls to name a few, solve the mystery.
