Blackbird - Quick Tix

Event Date: 06/09/2016, 08:30 pm

Throwing Shade Theatre Company presents BLACKBIRD by David Harrower
Fifteen years ago, Una and Ray had a relationship. She was 12, and he was 40.
Then he abandoned her, and they haven't set eyes on each other since. Now she's found him again...
After three years in prison and subsequent hardships, Ray has a new identity and has made a new life for himself, thinking that he cannot be found.
Una, twenty-seven, has thought of nothing else; upon seeing a photo of Ray in a magazine,
she has tracked him down and arrived, unannounced, at his office.
Guilt, rage, and raw emotions run high as they recollect the passionate relationship they had fifteen years ago.
Without moral judgements, the play never shies away from the brutal truth of this... abandoned and unconventional love.
Nevertheless, the consequences are shattering.

Throwing Shade Theatre Company (Metamorphosis, No Exit, Disco Pigs) brings a powerful two-hander
to a new Sydney stage as part of the Fringe festival from 6 September.

Directed by Andrew Langcake, BLACKBIRD stars Eleanor Ryan (The Women, The Catastrophists)
and William Jordan (Metamorphosis, Enchanted April) and will play from 6 to 10 Sept at the new Off-Broadway Hub in Annandale.

Blackbird premiered at King's Theatre as part of the Edinburgh International Festival, in August 2005,
and transferred to the Albery Theatre in London's West End in 2006. The production received the 2007 Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Play.
In 2007, the play opened simultaneously at the Manhattan Theatre Club in New York and at American Conservatory Theatre, San Francisco.   more

U.S. Of Eh?!?

Event Date: 06/09/2016, 09:30 pm

America is all through the news and Aussies want to know “What is up with that place?”
America is all through the news and Aussies want to know “What is up with that place?”

Steve Lynch knows! The weird and wacky reality of life in the USA is squarely in Steve’s sights in the popular improv champion’s debut solo show at The Factory Theatre from 6-10 September.

Steve (Scrabble Unscripted, Theatresports) won the Green Card Lottery, took the plunge and lived in the USA for a year from 2015 to 2016.
He saw everything he could and – like a good improviser - said yes to (almost) everything.
In an hour of stand-up, characters, sketches and songs, Steve relives a year of Hollywood, rednecks, reality TV, Texan rodeo and – most of all – confusion!

... “We hear so much about America and everyone wants to know what it’s really like,” says Steve.
“This show reveals the truth: that it’s even crazier than you’d think.”

Steve has always loved comedy that celebrates the joy of living. U.S. of Eh?!? is all about doing something crazy like moving to another country for no good reason, and sucking the marrow out of life - with no regrets.

“When I moved to America, I was determined to say ‘yes’ to everything. It was while I was standing on a reality TV show set, unpaid, that I thought: “If I get out of this country alive, it will make a great show’!”

Steve is a Sydney Theatresports legend and Cranston Cup champion – most recently playing alongside
Olympic diving gold-medalist Matthew Mitcham in Celebrity Theatresports.
He’s performed at Sydney and Melbourne Comedy Festivals, in multiple impro spin-off shows as well as most recently in regular shows Improv Soap and Def Con 3.
He has written for Comedy Inc (Channel 9), Double Take (Channel 7), the AWGIE-winning Wednesday Night Fever and The Glasshouse (ABC).
After branching out from Improv into Stand-up in the US, within 3 months he became a regular performer at the Comedy Store in Hollywood. He also kept a hilarious blog about his travels.   more

Julian Clary - The Joy Of Mincing In Melbour...

Event Date: 07/09/2016, 08:00 pm

This is Julian at his filthy best. Live and unplugged.
Julian Clary – camp comic and renowned homosexual - is a British national trinket and a dear and faithful friend of Australia. He is also, while we’re at it, a TV and radio star and author.

Following his sell out tour of the UK, he now brings The Joy Of Mincing down under, and will be performing in Sydney, Melbourne and Perth. He will perform at the iconic Sydney Opera House for the Just For Laughs Sydney Comedy Festival.

The Joy of Mincing is Julian Clary’s celebration of 30 years as a camp comedian. There is so much to tell you; the ups and downs of his sordid love life, the true and heart stopping account of how he saved Dame Joan Collins’ life, and don’t start him... on the perils of his DIY electrical home enema kit.

“Laden with filth and innuendo”
The Scotsman

On stage Julian will proudly wear his well-deserved M.B.E (Mincer of the British Empire). It was the last thing he expected to receive when he knelt down in front of Prince Charles in the scullery at Buckingham Palace…

And because Julian gives and gives (until it hurts) he will be handing out honours to the lucky few in the audience too. This is Julian at his filthy best. Live and unplugged.

Come and witness a masterclass in camp comedy.   more

The Midnight Shift

Event Date: 01/09/2016, 07:30 pm

Get set for the most pleasurably indulgent soak in a soapy TV nostalgia bath ever
This original musical comedy - by heirs of TV soap royalty, Romy Bartz & Erin Brookhouse -
makes its world premiere at The Midnight Shift and Giant Dwarf from 1 to 11 September.

With a large and multi-talented cast of all-singing, all-dancing performers, this loving homage to 1980s Australian TV soap leaves no cliché unturned, no fashion crime unrepeated… with a script and music that will make you both cringe, then cheer - then want to join in!

Taking its starting point from Australia's shortest-lived 80's soap of the same name, the creators of BATTLERS & DREAMERS claim to have discovered the lost tapes; bravely, they invite Sydneysiders to settle in for a memo...rable experience that turns theatre into live TV – complete with opening credits and theme-song!

Join them as the show follows local country family The Grundys battling big business, while their only daughter (with dreams of pop stardom… of course) prepares to marry a bad boy with a past he can't recall.

Laugh and cry with the people of Mainsbridge as they struggle through their domestic dramas… and fight to ignite their dreams!

Romy Bartz and Erin Brookhouse devised this new work, inspired by their shared history and affinity with the genre.
While Romy's mum, Belinda Giblin, appeared in classic Aussie shows such as The Sullivans and Sons and Daughters (where Romy spent much of her childhood on set), Erin's grandfather, producer/writer Don Harley and his actress wife June Thody, worked in the same circles.   more

The Great

Event Date: 20/08/2016, 08:00 pm

Glenn Christensen returns for the fourth MET Concert for 2016.
Glenn Christensen is back to perform as soloist for Beethoven's iconic Violin Concerto in our fourth MET Concert for this year on August 20th. Now a full-time member with the Australian Chamber Orchestra, Glenn joins Chief Conductor Sarah-Grace Williams in this Concert titled "The Great" which also features Franz Schubert's majestic Symphony number 9.

Glenn is a member of the Lyrebird Trio who last performed with The Metropolitan Orchestra in 2014. In this upcoming performance, Glenn will expose his profound passion and flair as soloist for Beethoven's most famous and unsurpassed Violin Concerto. "We are so honoured to have this inspirational young Australian violinist back wit...h us as soloist for this concert. Glenn is a good friend and absolute joy to work with. His obvious passion, joyful style and technical elegance perfectly compliment our orchestra," said Chief Conductor Sarah-Grace.

The second half of this performance features Franz Schubert's majestically soaring Symphony No 9, also known as The Great which was the final symphony completed by Schubert. The symphony begins with a noble, reflective and grandiose theme depicting a sense of space which has helped give the symphony its nickname the "Great C Major". With a Finale boasting an urgent, relentless momentum along with a choral movement reflective of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, this high-spirited performance will enthral listeners, drawing them along from the first noble theme through to the last joyous note.

Duo Vermilion

Event Date: 20/08/2016, 03:30 pm

Warming “WINTER’S ROMANCE” CONCERTS
Local international stars Maria Lindsay and Matthew Brooks bring their latest concert program to two venues in August, as thrilling DUO VERMILION continues its spectacular rise.

Performances of Beethoven, Strauss and Tommy Tycho highlight their winter afternoon concerts
in Sydney’s East (Sun 14 August) and the Blue Mountains (Sat 20 August).

Duo Vermilion is the product of a long-standing musical collaboration of violinist, Maria and pianist, Matthew.
Sharing a deep-seated passion for classical music, they delight in connecting with new audiences and
– as Maria says – sharing the wonder, magic and romance of beautiful music.

Their Winter’s Romance re...citals this August, to be performed in both Maroubra and Blackheath,
will feature sonatas by Beethoven and Richard Strauss, as well as the Persian-flavoured Violin Concerto by legendary Australian maestro and composer Tommy Tycho – a work he wrote for Maria!

Tycho was musical director at Channel 7 for 15 years, directed countless Royal Command Performances
and conducted all ABC Symphony orchestras before his death in 2013.
His compositions for the concert platform, stage & screen number more than 1500!
His Violin Concerto reflects influences from his native Hungary, as well as Russian and Persian themes
from his time as personal pianist to the Shah of Iran.   more
