Experiencing a behind-the-scenes look at the workings of the film industry can sometimes be just as fascinating as watching the final result. If you've seen the movie (and not read the book) why not view it from a different perspective: through the eyes of a composer, indeed quite a different dimension and well worth exploring. And if you've ever tried turning the audio off during a movie you'll soon discover just how important the musical score is, not only enhancing the on-screen action but demonstrating how most movies just don't work without it.

Noosa’s latest production – Neil Simon’s Rumours – is a great choice of fare to open their 2025 season. It is the perfect marriage between a company’s artistic fare and its audience demographic.

Smart and classy, slick and funny. An evening about middle-class entitlement and righteous indignation. It doesn’t expose their failings as much as a Williamson but it does give them so much more “meat on the bone” then a Foot or even an Ayckbourne. 

Glorious! at the Pavillion Theatre is a delightful and heartwarming rendition of Peter Quilter's comedy, brought to life under the skilful direction of Meredith Jacobs.

This is the fourth of Henry Lawson Theatre’s program of short plays by local writers – and what a nice little collection of plays they have found this year. Seven unusual stories, a varied range of characters, all presented in a well-directed, smoothly produced program that is interesting and entertaining. Well done to the seven directors and twenty one actors – and the stage crew led by Mike Rochfort who work quickly and efficiently to ensure minimise the time between each item.
