Leading Ladies

Event Date: 02/06/2019, 04:30 pm

CASTLE HILL PLAYERS present LEADING LADIES – by Ken Ludwig
In choosing his play for the 2019 season, Stephen said:
“I was looking for a stage play version of ‘Some Like It Hot’ but only found a 1970s musical called ‘Sugar’.
I gave up and looked at some Ken Ludwig’s: Moon over Buffalo and Leading Ladies.
Amazingly enough when I read the script for Leading Ladies it seemed to be (shamelessly) just what I was looking for in the first place. I thought this would be an ideal play for Castle Hill Players and its audience.”

Leading Ladies follows two hapless English actors, Leo & Jack, down on their luck and traveling through Amish country, performing in community halls.
The money has dried up, there’s no work for them in sight and all seems lost.
Then Leo reads about a dear old lady whose dying wish is to bequeath her fortune to her two long lost nephews who, by amazing coincidence, grew up in England! After finally convincing Jack this is a great idea, the two head off to York, Pennsylvania,
only to learn the ‘nephews’ are actually nieces! No problem… Jack and Leo are actors!

Audiences will love ‘Maxine’ and ‘Stephanie’ as they present themselves to the York locals.
Romantic entanglements and laughs aplenty are on the bill when Castle Hill Players present
the latest farce from Ken Ludwig, author of Lend Me a Tenor, Shakespeare in Hollywood and The Game’s Afoot.

Make a great night at the Pavilion Theatre complete, by enjoying a two-course pre-show dinner at Nobles Restaurant at the Hills Lodge Hotel. Phone 9680 3800 to book your table.

The Spooky Mens Chorale

Event Date: 31/05/2019, 07:30 pm

A celebration of masculine beauty and stupidity in concert: Newcastle 31 May
The Spookies are taking a good hard look at themselves in the (very wide) mirror and it’s a little hard to tell whether they like what they see.
After all, it’s been 18 years of being the thinking person’s mancrumpet - musically speaking - and part of the skill-set is inscrutability.
Or is it blithering incomprehensibility? So, yes, the hats are there, the sphinx-like vastness, the facial crevices, the beard topiary…
But is that crumbling decrepitude they are revealing or a magnificent descent into the vast bittersweetness of knowing this life for what it is?

These questions are more than appropriate, because the Spooky Men have just recorded their seventh album, Welcome to the Second Half which will nearly be ready for this performance.
It’s a collection which explores yet more corners of the great spooky room, including baggage carousels at the airport the fine art of building pyramids, and - more poignantly - what it’s like to be closer to the end than to the start.
Whether they will stop before they are done, or whether they are done before they stop, the musical exploration of all this unknowingness will be, as always, a very great pleasure. Sit back and enjoy the ride!
Armed only with their voices, The Spooky Men's Chorale commentates on the absurdity and grandeur of the modern male.
Sometimes mighty, sometimes foolish, sometimes blissfully tender-hearted, the Spooky Men strike a deeply human chord.
Formed in the Blue Mountains of NSW in 2001 by Christchurch-born spookmeister Stephen Taberner,
the Spooky Men soon attracted attention with a judicious combination of Georgian table songs, pindrop beautiful ballads, highly inappropriate covers, and immaculate man anthems like “Don’t Stand Between a Man and his Tool”, and “We Are Not a Men’s Group” - all of which amounted to a manifesto for the new breed of man: happily suspended between thug and wimp.

The Marais Project At 20: Times & Seasons

Event Date: 26/05/2019, 02:30 pm

The Independent Theatre presents Prelude in Tea
Times and Seasons, which takes place at the elegant North Sydney theatre on Sunday afternoon May 26,
celebrates The Marais Project's two decades as one of Australia's most creative early music ensembles.

The event features special guest, Swedish gambist, Leif Henrikson,a long-term friend and colleague of revered lutenist and Marais Project original member, Tommie Andersson.
Leif, who was a student of Jordi Savall, will perform exclusively with The Marais Project during his time in Australia.
In addition to Tommie and Leif, other founding Marais Project members Cathy Upex and soprano Belinda Montgomery will also appear.

“I didn’t think we would last 12 months, let alone two decades”, reflected Jenny Eriksson, founder of The Marais Project. “Turning twenty is something special.”

So, what can listeners expect?
“The first half of the concert sees The Marais Project present some of the best of the French Baroque repertoire that we love so much as a group”, Jenny explained.
“This includes music by Marin Marais for two viola da gambas and a cantata for soprano, two viola da gambas and continuo by Michel Pignolet de Montéclair.”

To add yet more interest to the occasion, The Marais Project will release its 7th CD, The Garden Party on the day with audience members getting an advance opportunity to purchase a copy of what will undoubtedly become a classic.

After the interval, Eriksson's accomplished electric viola da gamba ensemble, Elysian Fields, will take to the stage. With members including jazz doyens, pianist Matt McMahon and saxophonist, Matt Keegan,
Elysian Fields will play excerpts from their critically acclaimed Scandinavian Project including gorgeous arrangements of Swedish folk tunes.

This will be the third occasion that The Marais Project and Elysian Fields have presented music for the acoustic and electric versions of the viola da gamba in the same concert.

Eyes To The Floor

Event Date: 17/05/2019, 07:30 pm

Win a double pass to Eyes to the Floor - Manly
Following its acclaimed 2017 production of Alana Valentine’s Parramatta Girls, The Rough Hewn Theatre Troupe presents its companion piece, EYES TO THE FLOOR.

The 13-year-old northern Beaches-based theatre company has, since 2015, devoted itself primarily to the work of women theatre practitioners – writers, directors and actors of all ages.
With its almost entirely female, local cast, Eyes to The Floor is a potent realisation of that philosophy: a play that is both shocking and empowering.
Eyes to the Floor is a lament; a grieving for the bruised, abused and broken lives of young girls sent,
in the 1960s and 1970s, to the Institution for Girls, Hay.

Valentine asks her audience to bear witness to the brutality meted out to those girls aged 13-17 under state care who were expelled from the Parramatta or Cootamundra Girls Homes and sent to be disciplined in Hay.

Hay sits on the Hay Plain in western NSW and the Institution for Girls was housed in the Hay Gaol.
Concrete cells surrounded by tall concrete walls with ominous observation towers.
The girls marched everywhere, with militaristic precision – to bed, to the toilet, to their duties, to the isolation cell. And, because looking staff in the eye would lose them rations, get them humiliated or bashed… they always kept their eyes to the floor.

Valentine shines a spotlight on a dark time in NSW’s governance of wards of the state. Hay may have closed in 1974 but its former inmates still suffer post-traumatic stress, anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, depression, sleep disorders, broken marriages and suicide.
Sent to Long Bay, one former Hay inmate described it as "a breeze" compared to Hay.
