crgwllms/drama_queen
Wed, 21 July 2004, 06:36 pmI may be throwing the cat among the pidgeons, but I have been reading some old posts, and wondered. Could crgwllms and drama_queen, be the same person... ;) or be involved somehow other than posting messages on this site??????

First time I've ever heard that, in about 20 years of hanging around and in this theatre. It was called "The Hole" when the Hole In The Wall Theatre resided here, and sometimes "Black Swan" when that company was based here. But throughout that time it has also been recognised as the 'Subiaco Theatre Centre'...even when the State Theatre Company of WA had it for the few several years they existed, they avoided calling it STC for the same reason, even though they had two ways to make the initials fit!
However, I'll take your word for it. Maybe they're starting a new trend? But I think perhaps the BOCS receptionists ought to be less ambiguous - one of our performances was held up for almost 20 minutes last week, because a busload of patrons with booked tickets turned up at the Regal Theatre by mistake..! (not a good way to start a show that's only 50min long!)

The official public season finished today! Tickets were $9.90, booked through BOCS or paid at the Subi Theatre Centre. Bookings were advisable because almost half the performances sold out to capacity, and I know people who were turned away. (Not today though, only half full on a football day!). Now the school holidays are over we're still at Subi for another week with school groups attending - call Barking Gecko to see if they are still selling tickets - and then two more weeks of touring schools in the Perth metro area.
