The backbone of this production was a spectacular projected animation, which used large moving LED screens trucked across the stage, taking the audience on a kaleidoscope around Oz. The images ranged from the inside of a clock to a hurricane. All were especially vivid due to the intimate seating of the Glen Street Theatre.

The entire multi-media – which must have taken hundreds of hours to program - was custom made by the lighting/set designer Matt Osborne under the talented direction of Declan Moore.

Ipswich Little Theatre has all the hallmarks of a community theatre: a great vibe among the audience, lovely, friendly venue staff and even an exciting raffle draw at interval. The thing that sets them apart is their obvious dedication to a very high standard of production. Ipswich Little Theatre aims for a professional standard and succeeds.

Backed by a take-no-prisoners girl band called The Camp Dogs, the action of this rock-gig musical unfolds in front, across the cheap carpet, tables and lounges which have transformed Belvoir Theatre into a typical pub. It's a muso takeover, with designer Stephen Curtis also having a hand.

Ursula Yovich’s indigenous rough girl Barbara fights and banters with her saucy sister and fellow singer, Renee, in an outrageous script which bristles with Aboriginal strut and comic attack. 

Stage Whispers joined over 1000 women ‘of a certain age’, and a handful of slightly befuddled gentlemen, for the first night of Menopause the Musical’s short Perth season.

Nearing the end of a tour of single night appearances, mostly in NSW, Perth is the only “sit down” section of the tour and must be a break for the cast from the whistle stop pace of the run. This section ends on December 16, but the show resumes touring in March, including a return to WA.
