Stage Left Theatre Troupe Goldfields WA Inc. was the only regional club in the Drama Fest this year & whilst it was a bit of a walk to get there (some 600kms) it was well worth it.
Congrats to Kimberley, Norma and the tireless ITA committee for an excellent festival.
To the unstoppable and amazing Kerri Hilton for providing an excellent venue for the occasion.
To Barbara - the most amazing, unflappable, spot-on Stage Manager we've ever had the pleasure of working with (on a number of occasions now)
To Mel and to Paul for sound and lighting, again, giving up their time and making everything possible for 24 plays, was awesome. Thank you!
And to Ian Toyne - for his excellent dissertation, constructive critiques and feedback.
For many of our Troupe members who were Festival "virgins" this was invaluable in every way. They have all come away enriched, enlightened, educated and entertained.
Thank you all.
Congrats to all the winners.
And congrats to ALL the entrants. The fact that you were there, you were part of it all, that you contributed to this amazing and wonderful thing called "community theatre" is truly wonderful in itself.
As for the celebratory "skinny dipping" in the pool... & a rather entertaining card game involving some of the Drama Fest crew..... well, that's another story.
"What happens on Stage Left road trips stays on Stage Left road trips......"
Hee hee :)
PS: you are all welcome to come to Kal and join us for Theatre in the Bush! This year's show is DISCO INFERNO - dinner and show under the stars in the Outback. Truly! You don't want to miss it.
