To the discerning viewer,

Tumbleweed Productions wishes to announce the return of the cult black-comedy musical, ‘CHECKOUT!’ after a successful run at Fremantle’s ‘Fly By Night Club’ in August ’05. Aiming to pull tight on those silly strings and tap hard at your funny bones, ‘CHECKOUT! - The musical’ will be open for trade from June 8th ’06, at The Rechabites Hall, Northbridge.


Be launched head first on a path down ‘Ridiculous Lane’ and together we’ll meet the staff of ‘Super Savings Supermarket’, Rockingham. The most bizarre staff you’ll ever meet.


 Unaware of their own peculiarities, they voice their left of field opinions with passion and force. Then, add a frantic whirlwind of song and dance, a murdered store manager, a manic investigator, and you will see the craziness that flows from each characters deepest thoughts and fears. The fears most of us try so hard to hide.


Now in its fourth glorious production, and after entertaining countless.... hundreds of people in West and South Australia, there is only one vital and remaining question...

 

Do you dare check-out CHECKOUT!?!

 

*tickets $20 and $16 concession. (concession also applies to anyone to anyone employed in a retail position in Western Australia.

 From this friday 8:00pm- June 24th.

 

Bookings through BOCS

CAST AT THIS PERFORMANCE: Jane Raitt, Ethan Tomas, Rhoda Lopez, Mark McAullay, Reachelle Lee, Shane Adamczak, Lisa Knight, Rebecca Fiorentino, Paul Grabovac.

Dear WAPPA "certificate course" student, I was just curious as to whether you researched the relevance of your comment about students who previously studied at WAPPA. As you made VERY clear you yourself did the certificate course and had to sign an agreement that you would not advertise yourself as a WAPPA graduate, how relevant is this to people who studied in the years before you? surely without discovering whether they too had to sign such an agreement you would not feel the need to brandish this information around if it was relevant to them also .... would you? perhaps next time you should think before speaking as I know personally that Mr Tomas did not have to sign such an agreement for his time at WAPPA. To anyone else I would highly recommend seeing Checkout! It is a hugley hillarious musical with terrific actors (as stated by the "WAPPA certificate course" student - although having never seen it I wonder how they can comment so confidently on the show's entertainment value). By personally seeing this musical it is easy to tell that the writers inteded their work to impress the audience with their clever jokes and amusing songs... not with their previous acting instruction by whatever institution they studied at! I hope if you do go you find it as amusing as I myself did! Congratulations cast of checkout you are fantastic!!!!
