Satirical musical Reefer Madness is set to light up Sydney’s musical theatre scene when it comes to Sydney’s Depot Theatre from June 1, 2016.

Reefer Madness is a musical satire based on the 1936 instructional film seen in American schools - originally intended to warn of the dangers of marijuana.

Writers/composers Kevin Murphy and Dan Studney took the much-mocked cult film and created an all-singing, all-dancing parody.

A SPOOKY haunted mansion, possible heirs to a fortune and a variety of secrets and mysteries are the key ingredients of Roleystone Theatre’s (WA) June 2016 production.

Written by John Willard and directed by Paul Treasure, The Cat and the Canary is a 1922 comedy thriller that sees a group of distant relatives gather at a creepy old house to find out who will receive the inheritance of an eccentric millionaire, 20 years after his death.

With Heidelberg Theatre Company’s production of Twelve Angry Men opening tomorrow night in Melbourne, Coral Drouyn explores the relevance of the 1954 play and talks to Director Chris Baldock.

Heidelberg Theatre Company is nothing if not diverse. Its programme for any season always includes a wide range of dramas and comedies, mostly plays accepted as classics (later this year their production of One Man, Two Guvnors is a must see. It too has Chris Baldock as Director). Their latest offering is Reginald Rose’s Twelve Angry Men.

For those longing for a life of wisteria and sunshine…..

Pymble Players production of Enchanted April by Matthew Barber opens on May 4, 2016 and runs until May 28. 

The play follows Lotty and Rose, who are feeling lost and unsettled in the shifting currents of post  WW1 London, as they decide to visit Italy without their husbands. They are indeed being very daring.
