Reviews

The Laramie Project has been a popular choice of production, with high schools and universities in the years since its inception in 2000. Not only does the show have compelling themes, with its examination of small-town attitudes, homophobia, and the examination of hate crime, but it offers the young cast the opportunity to engage with and study verbatim theatre, offers a large and flexible cast size, and has engaging and challenging acting roles.

As Australia gets excited for the next professional production of Annie, Pinjarra has had its own little dose of Annie, with Murray Music and Drama Club’s very professional feeling production of Annie Jr. Featuring a cast aged 8 to 18, this young cast were focused, well-drilled and beautifully prepared to present a high-quality show.

It’s the biggest show in town and boasts the nicest kids in town. This big budget, big talent production is playing at Perth’s largest theatre and deserves all its positive buzz.

Featuring the best bright colours of the 60s, Matthew McVeigh gives us a bright and beautiful set, toning beautifully with the gorgeous bigger and brighter than life wigs and costumes designed by Producer Marina Del Basso. Lucy Birkinshaw has provided a spectacular lighting design that adds a healthy sprinkling of stage magic.

The Addams Family is a well written show, with great characters, great songs, and a great message. It never fails to please. In this Senior Performance Ensemble production by the Musical Theatre Crew, every aspect is perfectly realised.
