Theatre Goings-On 24-AUG-12

There are quite a few theatrical happenings coming up in the next few weeks, from the spectacular to gritty drama...

Tonight and tomorrow, A Little Box At The Top Of The Stairs Productions presents adult drama "Extremities" by William Mastrosimone, directed by Garry Thomas.  Performances in the Elmwood Auditorium, show starts at 7.30.
Tickets are $18/$14: call 021 453138 to book.  Have a look-see at their group on Facebook to learn about this new theatre company.

Also this weekend, Musoc presents an 80s showcase of song and dance, in the UC Undercroft. Tickets are just $5 on the door, no need to book, and it'd be a fun and uplifting start to a night out, so bring your friends!

Dramasoc would like to remind the writers of Christchurch that there are only a few days to go to submit entries for this year's 3some, for more information or to register your interest, email canterburydramasoc@gmail.com

And that's all from the theatre world for now - although a lot of companies are now getting geared up for their summer musicals and holiday shows so there's plenty of excitement to be had in the very near future!
If you have a play you'd like to let the world know about, or would like to request a review or critique of your show, just send me an email: aimeerhiannon@gmail.com

Interested In Taking On A Production Role?

Musoc is looking for some new faces to join the production team for their March 2012 show, Rent.  In particular they are looking for creative designers, choreographers, and producers.  This is an excellent opportunity for anyone wanting to have a go at a backstage role or who is interested in theatre but might not be so enthused about performing. 

You don't necessarily need to have previous experience but they do need people who are committed, enthusiastic and organised.
If you're an artsy, creative type then you might be interested in set or costume design; if you are a bit OCD about being organised then producing would be right for you, and if you're an experienced dancer and natural leader, you might be just the choreographer Musoc is looking for.

Theatre really does have something for everyone, and this is an awesome chance for people who don't usually consider themselves "thespians" to give it a go.  If any of the above roles sound like something you might be interested in, check out the Musoc website or email their secretary, Seamus (secretary@musoc.org.nz), to let them know you're keen.
