Backtrack Boys

Event Date: 24/10/2018, 06:30 pm

This observational documentary, filmed over two years, follows boys in a youth program.
NOTE: winners will be asked to nominate the date and time they would like to see the film.

A group of troubled boys are on a perilous course towards jail until they meet up with the rough talking, free-wheeling jackaroo, Bernie Shakeshaft, and hit the road with his legendary dog jumping team.

This observational documentary, filmed over two years, follows boys in a youth program that Bernie runs from a shed on the outskirts of Armidale, a rural town in Australia. On the road, the boys find their voice, make great friendships and the dogs become national champions. But as the boy’s sleep under the stars at night the trauma is never too far away. With their survival and futures at stake they must constantly step up, push themselves, support each other and some days can be hard. This inspiring coming of age story reveals the challenges and triumphs these boys face as they try to find their place in the world, and the dogs that help tame their wild ways.

A life-affirming documentary, Backtrack Boys explores Bernie’s philosophy in action and through the journey of the kids in his care. It reveals how he helps them to navigate their relationships, deal with personal trauma, take responsibility for their own decisions and gain practical job skills so they can eventually create a sustainable future for themselves.

Midnight Oil Armistice Day: Live From The...

Event Date: 24/10/2018, 07:30 pm

Don’t miss Midnight Oil at their explosive, uncompromising best
NOTE winner will pick their tickets up from the box office on the day, so we will ask that you let us know which cinema you will attend and which film showing 24/10 at 7:30 pm or 27/10 at 3 pm.
In February 2017 Midnight Oil embarked on a global journey to circle the globe playing in 16 countries across 5 continents.

Eventually they returned to Australia - the land that shaped the Oils and their music. The tour rolled across the country where this band first cut their teeth, rekindling old memories and creating new ones with every song, and every show.

Finally this epic tour circled back to the city where it all began. The venue? Sydney’s Domain - a place that encapsulates a nation’s history.

And so after 77 gigs to over half a million people around the world this is where The Great Circle would finally come to a close. Two hometown shows in this special place. The first date? November 11. Known to some as Armistice Day.

Don’t miss Midnight Oil at their explosive, uncompromising best on the big screen for 2 days only on October 24 & 27!

It’s screening at Event Cinemas George St, Event Cinemas Macquarie, Event Cinemas Castle Hill, Event Cinemas Miranda, Event Cinemas Parramatta, Event Cinemas Campbelltown, Event Cinemas Hornsby, and Event Cinemas Top Ryde.

ImprO @ the BowlO with MarkO Presents… IMPRO LEGENDS
Come and see the greatest impro comics of the last 30 years on stage with some of the brightest new talent.

Ever since Theatresports came to Belvoir St Theatre back in 1985, Sydney has had a rich history of hilarious comic improvisers and shows. Marko Mustac was there at the beginning as a new young actor and comic, and he rose through the ranks to become one of Australia's most decorated Theatresports players, and most prolific creator of new shows and formats.

For his new show, IMPRO LEGENDS, Marko gathers together some of the greatest impro comics of the last 30 years, and combines them with some of the hottest up and coming players, to create a hilarious night of ad-libbed creativity and laughter.

Over three nights you will see a selection of great players, from Jon Williams, Lisa Ricketts, Ewan Campbell, Michael Gregory, David Callan, Daniel Cordeaux, Monique Dykstra, Linette Voller, John Knowles, Dave Bloustien, Jeremaia Detto, Bryce Halliday and many more.

At the wonderfully relaxed and friendly environment of the Inner-West's own Petersham Bowling Club, you'll have a night of mad, made-up comedy of the highest order, from the best players you'll ever see!

THE DIRECTOR By Nancy Hasty

Event Date: 26/10/2018, 07:30 pm

SEDUCTION, COMPLICITY & WHITE-KNUCKLE SUSPENSE
The Director, by US writer Nancy Hasty, is set to open at the Actors Pulse Playhouse in Redfern.
And it’s bound to create intense debate among performers and theatre lovers alike.
In a run-down rehearsal studio in New York, theatre director Peter now works as a janitor
in exchange for being able to use the rehearsal spaces to conduct his 'research into acting'.
After he meets an award-winning playwright, Annie, he reluctantly agrees to direct her new play
after she expresses dissatisfaction with the existing director and the actors that director has cast.

Peter adopts a highly unconventional and controversial approach as he challenges each actor who auditions
to a series of exercises designed to test their abilities and push them to truly ‘live’ their parts.
But how far should he push before someone slips over the edge?
As the line between reality and fantasy blurs, the director becomes a master manipulator,
pulling strings and pushing his vulnerable young protégés.
Is he a genius or a control freak? The ante keeps rising until the game becomes a matter of life and death.
The original production of The Director – starring Emmy Award-winner John Shea - ran off-Broadway for six months in 2000.
It’s no coincidence that Active Theatre Production’s artistic director Simon Doctor is directing and starring in its Australian premiere.
Simon worked on numerous theatre projects in New York with the playwright, his good friend and sometime housemate, Nancy Hasty.

The Director also features Josephine Bloom, Alex Rowe, Brayden Palmer, Sarah Greenwood and Emilia Hristov.

Madiba: The Musical

Event Date: 01/11/2018, 07:30 pm

A new stage show Madiba the Musical
Energetic and compelling new stage show Madiba the Musical - a Celebration of the Life of Nelson Mandela opens in Sydney at the State Theatre from 1 - 11 November.
Madiba the Musical celebrates the life of the former South African leader Nelson Mandela, who would have turned 100 in July this year, and is interwoven with stories of the fight against apartheid and forbidden love in a troubled land.
African dance and vocal traditions are given a contemporary setting alongside eternal love songs and stirring anthems in a show that tells of Mandela’s lifework as a lawyer and activist for peace through the story of young artist Will, who is the victim of apartheid in South Africa.
