Sanity

By Elizabeth Avery Scott
​Directed by Clare Moss
Picture
Sanity is playwright Elizabeth Avery Scott's latest comedy. In an imaginary place that's part-dream world, part-modern home and part-asylum, dwell five women and two men. They can't go anywhere - they're in lockdown. Living lives that are limited by the walls around them, they muse about the meaning of life, God, battery hens, their hopes for the future, and whether or not they're sane.

This is a play for 2020 and beyond, reflecting on what we've been through and what we've yet to discover.  

Performed by Perform Australia's Certificate IV in Acting for Stage and Screen students.

The Drowsy Chaperone

Directed by Amy Orman
Musical Director Teresa Wojcik
Picture
The Drowsy Chaperone is an homage to American musicals of the Jazz Age, examining the effect musicals have on the fans who adore them.

The Man in Chair, a mousy, agoraphobic Broadway fanatic, seeking to cure his "non-specific sadness", listens to a recording of a fictional 1928 musical comedy, The Drowsy Chaperone. As he listens to this rare recording, he is transported into the musical. The characters appear in his dingy apartment, and it is transformed into an impressive Broadway set with seashell footlights, sparkling furniture, painted backdrops, and glitzy costumes.

Music & Lyrics by Lisa Lambert and Greg Morrison
Book by Bob Martin and Don McKellar
Original Broadway production of The Drowsy Chaperone produced by Kevin McCollum, Roy Miller, Bob Boyett, Stephanie McClelland, Barbara Freitag and Jill Furman.’


Licensed exclusively by Music Theatre International (Australasia).
All performance materials supplied by Hal Leonard Australia.

The Pirates of Penzance

By W.S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan
Directed by James Scott
Musical Director Amy Orman
Picture
Gilbert and Sullivan’s most popular show, The Pirates of Penzance, is a rollicking, delightfully funny tale of a band of soft-tempered pirates. Beloved since its premiere in 1879, The Pirates of Penzance is a delightful farce that is fun for all ages.

Much Ado About Nothing 

By William Shakespeare
​Directed by James Scott
Picture
WHEN: 7:30pm, September 10 - September 13
WHERE: Perform Australia Theatre, 11 Whyalla St, Fyshwick ACT
TICKETS: $20 Adults, $10 Concession
​Perform Australia's Advanced Diploma students presents Much Ado About Nothing - one of Shakespeare's most popular comedies, first performed in 1598, and back in Canberra in 2020!

Directed by James Scott, Much Ado About Nothing is the story of soldiers returning home from war victorious, to reunite with their prospective brides.

The regal Don Pedro and charming Claudio hatch a plot to use gossip, hearsay and rumour to convince their confirmed bachelor friend, wise-cracking Benedick, and the witty firebrand spinster Beatrice, to fall in love with each other.

But the malcontent Don Jon uses similar methods for darker purposes, slandering the innocent Hero on her wedding day and leaving her for dead.

Beatrice, Benedick and their friends have to pick up the pieces – and confirm that it really was... much ado about nothing!
