AddressInnaloo Community Centre, Morris Place, Innaloo
This delightful light hearted musical is set in the 50's. Timothy and Jane graduate from college and arrange to meet in the park a few days later. There they meet a tramp with a quaint old fashioned piano and when he starts to play they find themselves compelled to dance. Then the tramp disappears and they find themselves in charge of the piano for a month and have to devise a way of keeping it a secret. Jane's mother is trying to organise a party for her and Timothy's parents want him to go and see his various uncles and find himself a job. Lots of very catchy songs and dancing and a variety of character roles. We are looking for a cast of about 20 with the idea that some will play more than one of the minor roles.
