UDS presents: 'FRESHER! THE MUSICAL'. Starting soon!

Right, so "come see this play we're doing!" bulletins are often skimmed over or disregarded as shameless self-promotion. And you would be forgiven for thinking that the University Dramatic Society indeed have no shame at all - maybe true - and you've got your mouse on the 'Back' button already. But I urge you to read on, because UDS is stepping into new territory this year. We're famous for our original cartoon spoofs (such as 'Smerfs', 'Captin Planet' and 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Tertles'; our latest sell-out productions) This year, however, we're doing a musical. A brilliant musical comedy, in fact; written by men-about-town James Marzec and John McPherson and directed by the dashing Dave Gregory, with a cast that comprises the cream of UWA's theatrical crop. It's called 'Fresher! The Musical'. Join ironically-named first-year Arts/Music student Earnest Fresher on his quest to find his way through the double standards and class divides of university. And the inevitable twist: Fresher falls hopelessly in love with Stacey Summerson, the prettiest girl in the Law School - a love forbidden by her jilted fiancee, law jock Chad Filmore. Fresher's conflict with Chad soon draws the entire university into a vicious civil war. With only his merry men (the nerd, the drunk, and the inbred hick) and his lady by his side, one man must put things right. Singing. Dancing. Swordfighting. Dystopia. Sexy nurses. What more could you want? Tickets are $9 UDS Members / $11 Guild-Affiliated Students / $14 General Admission. At the beautiful Dolphin Theatre, UWA. 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 May.
