Sometimes, to fix a problem, you have to let your imagination run wild.

Mates Theatre Genesis presents “Writer’s Block”  – a comedy play on stage at the Birkdale School of Arts, Birkdale, Queensland, 18 October – 2 November 2019.

The “Brick Wall” is every writer’s enemy but Jane has discovered a way to make hitting it a little less tedious. Battling with wildly vocal and immensely frustrating hallucinations in the form of her two main characters, Jane sets about to write a play with all the romance and drama she lacks in her own life. Written by Australian author, Kellie Silver, “Writer’s Block” is pure entertainment. Set against a 1940’s and modern backdrop, Writer’s Block is a comical romance with a hint of drama that voices some of the unique processes occurring in a writers head as she arduously pieces together the scattered thoughts of her over-active imagination to ultimately produce that perfect work of art – she hopes.

Based on the universally popular poetry of T.S. Eliot, ‘CATS’ tells the story, in song and dance, of the annual gathering of Jellicle cats at which time one special cat is selected to ascend to the Heaviside layer.

A true musical theatre phenomenon, CATS opened at London’s New London Theatre on 11 May 1981 and ran for a record-setting twenty-one years. ‘CATS’ London success was nearly matched on Broadway where it ran at the Winter Garden Theatre for just over eighteen years. Since its world premiere, it has been presented in over 30 countries, has been translated into 15 languages and has been seen by more than 73 million people worldwide.

‘CATS’ best-known song is “Memory” which has been recorded by numerous artists and is one of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s most famous compositions – a runaway hit with a life far beyond the musical.

‘Nunsense’ is a hail of fun and folic. The story starts when the Little Sisters of Hoboken discover that their cook, Sister Julia, Child of God, has accidentally poisoned 52 of the sisters, and they are in dire need of funds for the burials. The sisters decide that the best way to raise the money is to put on a variety show, so they take over the school auditorium, which is currently set up for the eighth grade production of ‘Grease’.

We meet Reverend Mother Regina, a former Circus performer; Sister Mary Hubert, the Mistress of Novices; a streetwise nun from Brooklyn named Sister Robert Anne; Sister Mary Leo, a novice who is a wannabe ballerina; and the delightfully wacky Sister Mary Amnesia, the nun who lost her memory when a crucifix fell on her head.

Featuring star turns, tap and ballet dancing, an audience quiz, and comic surprises, ‘Nunsense’ is a popular show that has become an international phenomenon. Redcliffe Musical Theatre is thrilled to bring this popular, family-friendly production to their Theatre 102. ‘Nunsense’ will be presented in cabaret-style seating, where you can enjoy a drink and a snack while watching the show.

A great city has been torn apart by a civil war between two brothers. In the aftermath, both lie dead – one hailed as a hero and lying in state, the other condemned as a traitor and dumped in a carrion pile. From the ashes of their conflict rises a dystopian state under a new leader – a career politician who rose to power by dint of her ruthlessness. Grieving and heartbroken, their sister Antigone challenges the leader for the right to bury and mourn her dead brother with dignity, sparking a furious act of rebellion that will shake the city to its foundations.

The new Australian musical ‘A Girl’s Guide to World War’ is back by popular demand. After playing to sell-out crowds in 2018, the show returns to the Sunshine Coast with a season at The Events Centre, Caloundra in October 2019.

This musical features all-girl band “Vix and the Slick Chix” who recently rocked the Blues Tent at the Gympie Muster. The show stars musical theatre legend Susie French (‘Mamma Mia’, ‘Menopause – the Musical’) and Zoe Georgakis (voice actor on ‘Babe, Pig in the City’).

‘A Girl’s Guide to World War’ tells a remarkable true story: during World War One, a handful of eccentric, courageous Australian women try to join the army. Rejected because of their sex, the women refuse to “stay home and sit still”. Instead, they go to war.
