Performance Season 2009
BABY BOOMER BLUES


6 JULY 2009
Laycock Street Theatre
A great night of laughs and entertainment, come and see this cheeky comedy by Perth Theatre Co.

The biggest little play festival in the world continues its journey on the Central Coast with the unearthing of the 10 plays that will feature as Finalists in the popular festival this September at Peninsula Theatre, Woy Woy.

The plays, and their Playwrights , encapsulate the diversity the Festival itself represents with an exciting mix of beautifully crafted Comedy, Drama, Absurd, Farce, Thriller and Satire - proving the Coast doesn't have to look too far for a fix of talent, entertainment and fabulous theatre.

The 2009 Final 10 plays are:

* Catch A Falling Knife by John Fraser

* Living With Mrs Spragg by Graham King & Megan McGowan

* The Voyeurs by Joel Bell

* The Funeral by Bob Pereira

* The Big C by Shaun Tinkler

* Bangers by Donna Cameron (Dandylion Theatre Co.)

* Double Take by Rose Cooper

* No Junk Mail by Frank Hatherley

* Friendship, Jumbucks and the Hearing at Stringybark Creek by Andrew Thomson

* The Hardmen from Mudgee by Luke Winter

Amongst the Playwrights emerge a snapshot of the creative minds of the Coast, including........... a film critic for Screen International who wrote his play in a few days after just having moved to the Central Coast, a local Freelance Journalist who quips she has "been well and truly infected by the Short + Sweet bug" with this being her third 'appearance' as Playwright at a Festival, a married couple who drew inspiration from a play in last year's Festival, a graduate of the NIDA Playwright's Studio whose work continues to be commissioned nationally, a producer/teacher/writer/director/actor whose CV spans the breadth and depth of the multitude of mediums... and a Playwright who debuts his newest full-length play at the Old Fitzroy Theatre, Sydney in July this year! (Further information on some of the Playwrights attached for your reference).

Short + Sweet Central Coast now 'meshes' the Plays and their Writers with almost double the number of prospective Directors in a gathering of a different kind. A cross between 'mini-pitching' and 'speed-dating', the session on Wednesday July 1 is aimed at both selecting the final 10 Directors and laying foundations for creative partnerships.

The announcement of Directors will be followed by the auditions for Actors. The final 10 plays require 12 female and 16 male actors of various ages. Actors are encouraged to submit their CV's and obtain more information from the Artistic Director prior to the auditions;

(Audition details)
Tuesday, 7th July: 7pm - 9pm*
Saturday, 11th July: 12noon - 3pm*
at the Don Craig Room, Laycock Street Theatre, Wyoming.
