We are doing Oliver!  this November and Annie next November.

Originally posted by MartyW We actually "own" a set.... After the show, we plan on renting it out in the area... Where you at?

We're doing "It's A Wonderful Life" this year.

Funny you should mention that biggertigger. I propsed something similar about a year a go. When the City Council drcided to refurbish the venue we use & turn it into a performance space. The idea was similar, To have a Gala Opening useing all the performing community groups to do do items for the show, wich my theatre group would do the overall cordination of putting it together. Being the only theatre group in our City & I would direct the Openings & finarles of each Act, along with a couple of ensemble numbers. orginising the technal & production side as well.
However unbeknown to us, the Council Flunkies have got a budget aproval to do a Grand Gala performance, with theatre groups from neoghbouring City Communities. Cutting out thier own City community groups & us of course.
Which got roght up my nose, considering they are paying these other theatre groups a fee to perform, for this Galah Opening.
Needless to say we got the hint & planning to aviod using the New venue & finding our own performing space from now on! Which will be a good thing anyway for us in the long run.
Three of the local city Councillors are up arms, bit the Mayor does not care at present, as he is the administration is awaiting the outcome of a State Crime & Corruption Tribunal findings, which are due in the new year. So things will change possibly for the better in future?
I have a feeling in my water the refurbished venue will be another white elephant, as no one at the council has a clue about running a theatre. So I have advised our mob to just hang in there & within 2 years, when the venue has been used & abused, we might be in the box seat to take it over. Because it will become another mill stone around the Councils neck!
I have seen it happen so many times with Council run venues.

Any way our next show will be a play in March '08, which is writen by one of our members, who is a Murdoch Uni stident & I'mm orginising the 'Pholies' [Pheonix Follies] for 'Christmas in July' as a yearly & touring production.
