Mirror, Mirror on the wall and all that stuff... SOACT, the Wagga School of Arts Community Theatre is celebrating sixty years of continuous theatrical production this year.

We don't claim to be the oldest continuously operating company in the land , we know we're not but we started with a meeting in 1944 and our first production Home and Beauty was in April 1945. What sort of company are we in... who's having a sixtieth birthday this year?

We'd like to try to interest Radio National into a look back at the birth of the community theatre movement.

Hi Nic,
Happy 60th Birthday to SOACT!!
Well. we certainly are not the oldest company on Australia either... but I reckon we could be the youmgest!!
Phoenix Theatre Group will be opening it's inaugural production "Stepping Out" by Richard Harris on April 28th.

Pop on into http://www.phoenixtheatre.websyte.com.au/ for details about the play and the company.

I know that Stirling Players in Western Australia are celebrating this year as well with their 35th Anniversary. They will be performing a re-production of their first play "The Ghost Train" .

Chookas!!
Graeme
