The 2003 Annual Finley Awards Night

Just a reminder that the 2003 Annual Finley Awards Night ('The Finleys') is almost upon us.

WA Community Theatre's night of glamour will be held January 10 at the Kalamunda Performing Arts Centre, Canning Rd, Kalamunda. The proceedings begin at 7.30pm.

You can enjoy excerpts from some of the productions of 2003 as well as enjoying fantastic company and being the first to find out who will take home the coveted Finley Awards.

Tickets ($12) are available through club secretaries or by phoning 9291 5045 (or email yak@git.com.au ). While great seats are still available, the night did sell out last year and if you leave it to the last minute you may be disappointed.

This is not anything whatsover to do with the Finley Award, but .....
If anyone was awake at 6.45 this morning then they would have heard John Flood give out his "Floodies" on ABC 720.
His pick: Best Play -Noises Off. Best Musical - Pageant
Flood's Innovations Award - Melville Theatre Company for taking a production to Kalgoorlie.

Hi Kim (and everyone else),

Can you tell us what excerpts will be presented on the evening?

(Just in case anyone isn't aware, the ITA Finley Awards Night is not just about distributing a handful of awards, it presents excerpts from plays and musicals of the preceeding year - highlights from 2003.)

I know the sexy and controversial "Psycho Beach Party" will be featured, and also a little thing called "Pageant", but what else?

Cheers,
JB

Hi Jarrod

An excellent question! As I was fortunate enough to be at the rehearsal yesterday then I am able to answer you.

On the night, there will be excerpts from the following plays/musicals.

Pageant - Playlovers

Puss In Boots - Garrick

Wallflowering - Darlington

Psycho Beach Party - Blak Yak

Regards to Broadway II - Roleystone

A Chorus of Disapproval - Old Mill

South Pacific - Marloo

So I think you can see that there will be something for everyone. I hope that answers your question Jarrod and I am sure I will see you on Saturday night at the Finleys!

Kerri

Excellent question Dr Buttery.

Excerpts will be presented from the plays:
Psycho Beach Party (Blak Yak)
A Chorus of Disapproval (Old Mill)
Wallflowering (Marloo)

and from the musicals:
Puss In Boots (Garrick)
Regards to Broadway II (Roleystone)
South Pacific (Marloo)

Tickets on 9291 5045 or yak@git.com.au

eeeks - sorry Kerri... I obviously took too long to type my answer...yours wasn't there when I started.

Why, thank you ladies. As I said, I'd heard "Pageant" was to be featured, and I'm very much looking forward to seeing it - even a small bit - again. In fact, just between you and me, "Pageant" is my pick for Best Musical. For completeness, I'd better say that "Noises Off" is my pick for Play of the Year.

Anyone else wanna give their picks?
