This would have to be the states first "MUST SEE" event for 2007.

Darlington Theatre Players current production is a credit to community theatre in Perth. The energy with which this production is performed would solve the global warming problem almost on it's own!

Director Peter Clark has taken his personal dream to mount this show and (with the help of several VERY talented cast members, an excellent live band and some of the best lighting seen in Perth for quite some time) not just made it into a reality, but has handed Perth audiences some of the best that theatre goers have ever enjoyed.

If I was in the business of handing out stars for reviews, this would certainly be four and a half out of five.

Terrific show, wonderful cast, DAMN good band, intuitive directing. Great job Guys! Loved it!

Where does the money go?

Typically, amatuer theatres create a specific budget for their shows which includes the performance related expenses for set design, costumes, props, hiring of sound or lighting equipment, ticketing etc. Royalty fees for this show are set at 16% of the expected income; about $8300.00. The rest of a shows profit goes towards the maintenance of the theatre, purchasing new equipment, costumes, building supplies, insurance and so on. A well known show such as this one will usually make a profit to offset any possible losses from less popular shows that are staged later in the year. Even though cast, crew, FOH staff contribute their time voluntarily, there are many expenses involved in staging a show and maintaining a theatre. $50,000 doesnt last long.
