Come join us for an evening of adaptations of three early films directed by Alfred Hitchcock: "The Lodger," "Sabotage" and "The 39 Steps." Watch these stories come to life in the style of a 1940s radio broadcast with five actors playing almost 70 parts - expect explosions, high speed chases, parades, numerous acts of espionage and terrorism and a healthy dose of light murder.
The actors are live, the sound effects are live, the music is live - but some of the characters, unfortunately, may not be alive for long.
Featuring Matt Powell, John Ussher, Kim Georgine, Damien McGrath and Lizzie Tollemache with Matt Everingham.

Potential New Page
I'm very sure that there are many aspiring choreographers, directors, stage managers and more in Christchurch who want to get some hands-on experience who just aren't sure how to go about it. I also know for a fact that there are many clubs around town who are on the lookout for such young talent and but just don't know how to reach these people.
I am therefore considering dedicating a page of this blog to helping clubs and communities find the backstage talent that they need. This page would act as a kind of database where those looking for work as directors (etc) could give their name, abilities and any previous experience along with an email address to contact.
My hope is that those who are looking to put a show together will have access to potential personnel who suit their needs, and that there will be more choice both for those looking to up-skill and gain experience, and also for those clubs wanting to incorporate new talent into their communities.
I'd be very interested to hear your feedback on this idea. Would you use such a database? Would it be helpful or a hindrance to you? What kind of information would you want available? How would you like it formatted? Please let me know in the comments below or via email.
Thank you in advance for your ideas and feedback!
