Melbourne - The Imperial Bells Of China-Chime...

Event Date: 04/06/2016, 08:00 pm

The Imperial Bells of China returns to Australia with a new production.
Note: the tickets are for Melbourne.
Touring to Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne in May and June 2016, The Imperial Bells of China returns to Australia with a new production which incorporates new elements including dance and folk songs.

In 1978, the 2,400-year-old bronze and stonechime-bells of Duke Zeng’s Tomb, together with a series of other ancient instruments, were unearthed in Hubei China. Inspired by these discoveries, Hubei Opera Theatre staged the Chime Music and Dance performance bringing song, musical instruments and dance together, and puts bronze, stone, jian drum and dozens of other ancient instruments on the same stage. Through this artistic style the beautiful ancient music and dance of China are brought alive together on one stage.

“Transport yourself back in time 2400 years and witness a truly unique and enchanting experience, said Elizabeth Wan Event Manager. “Immerse yourself in history and prepare to be astonished by the beautifully crafted Ancient Bells of China. Listen to their harmonious sounds and marvel at the spellbinding traditional dancers as they take you on a magical journey of both sight and sound all the way back to ancient China.”

Not only is the sound of the bells filled with romantic and sonorous melodies but they are also visually breathtaking due to their grand scale and elaborate cast technique. Discovering the music, cultural and spiritual history and being taken away by the ethnic folk dancers and musicians all set in 900s, is part of what makes this show unique.

Experience the lost world of “Ten Kingdoms” with exquisite ancient costumes and magnificent production.

The Imperial of China represents a ritual in China’s outbound cultural exchanges, it has been performed in front of Chinese President Xi Jin Ping, Egyptian Present Abdel Fattah, The king and queen of Belgium and many more during the official visits and all across 57 countries and regions for more than 1000 times.

Reefer Madness

Event Date: 03/06/2016, 08:00 pm

REEFER MADNESS is a laugh-out-loud musical satire based on the 1936 instructional film
Writers/composers Kevin Murphy and Dan Studney took the much-mocked cult film and created an all-singing, all-dancing parody that is set to leave Sydney audiences on a high!

Rockdale Musical Society brings the brilliant show to the Depot Theatre, Marrickville - in Sydney’s sinful inner west - for a limited season from 1-5 June.

The over-the-top, campy story begins with a Lecturer informing the audience of the new drug menace,
Marijuana, which threatens the American way of life.

He tells the story of a young high school student, Jimmy Harper, whose life is turned upside down by the "demon weed".
Jimmy spends all of his time in the Reefer Den ignoring his family, school, and most importantly his girlfriend: the quintessential all-American sweetheart, Mary Lane.
He eventually realises the error of his ways; but it’s too late to turn over a new leaf! Jimmy must pay the price of REEFER MADNESS!

Rockdale Musical Society is very excited to bring this fun, spoofy show to the Sydney stage…

Directed by Hannah Barn, Musical Director Courtney Josh and Choreographer Sasha-Lee Saunders,
this spectacular production in the inner south-west ‘sin city’ of Marrickville stars Paul Adderley as The Lecturer,
Joshua Ridge as Jimmy Harper, Cassidy Rae Gaiter as Mary Lane, Brad Facey as Jack Stone and Jesus,
Stephanie McKenna as Mae Coleman, Ethan Harvey as Ralph Wiley, Georgia Vella as Sally DeBanis,
Montana Josh as the Placard Girl, Amelia West as Roxy and Jacob Barn as Goat Man.

Plus an ensemble featuring Keeley Hickey, Izzy Hanley, Alyssa Simpson, Madalene Simpson, Annabelle Radford, Lily Hayman,
Rhiannon Bateman, Alexis Panaretos, Jacob Barn, Greg Robinson, Joseph Nalty, Nathan Maynard and Jonathan Hugeaud

Smudge

Event Date: 28/05/2016, 07:30 pm

Nick and Colby are expecting their first baby together - to complete their perfect lives.
What happens when the birth of your child isn't what you thought it would be?
When what you’d expect would be the happiest moment of your life, simply isn't?
What if all those inspirational quotes from friends and family turned out to be a lie?

Nick and Colby are expecting their first baby together - to complete their perfect lives.
But when the baby arrives it's severely disfigured and deformed, sending Colby into a spiral of denial
and leaving Nick alone in his own deluded thoughts.
Nick's brother Pete decides to give him a work project that keeps Nick away from home for longer and longer each day, leaving Colby stuck in the house 24/7 and feeling no connection with her child.
Then the child begins to communicate with Colby in frightening ways…

Smudge, by two-time Emmy Award winner Rachel Axler (The Daily Show, Parks & Rec, The Veep),
is a very dark comedy about all the twists and turns life throws at us and our pre-conceived notions of parenthood.

"Axler has a comic’s gift for language that is precise and imaginative, but never showy...
What gives Smudge its charge is how she taps into a primal fear - giving birth to a monster -
and then considers it calmly from all angles." - NY Times

Directed by Stephen Lloyd-Coombs, Smudge stars Danielle Connor, Kieran Foster and Nick Hunter.
With set and costume design by Elia Bosshard, sound design by Michael Toisuta, lighting by Liam O’Keefe with Zara Thompson stage manager/operator.

The King’s Fools is an independent theatre company that works under three simple signposts:
“Contemporary, Comedic and Challenging”. Smudge is just that.

Sam McCool - Turning Thoughty

Event Date: 26/05/2016, 06:45 pm

ONE MAN’S CRISIS IS ANOTHER’S OASIS!
By age 40, most humans have had an average of 730 million thoughts. Some are good, some are dubious, and some are downright disastrous. On the 26th May, 2016, two things will happen - Comedian, Sam McCool,

launches the premiere of his new show ‘TURNING THOUGHTY’. On that very same day he turns 40 celebrating it at Australia’s most prestigious venue, SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE. This marks McCool’s long-awaited

return to the world-famous venue after a sell-out show in 2012 when he came to prominence on Channel 7’s AUSTRALIA’S GOT TALENT.

“Incredibly convincing… hilarious.” - Australian Stage

“Enthralling… keeping the whole audience on their toes.“ - Herald Sun

“Seriously good fun.” - Melbourne Comedy Festival



It’s a hilarious new show about age-ism and getting older, but rather than suffering a mid-life crisis, Sam has coined the phrase “mid-life oasis” to encapsulate his thoughts on turning 40. At 35, Sam quit his day job and

took on the challenge of becoming an international globe-trotting comedian, but 5 years on how does it feel to still be “living the dream”? And what next for a creative mind with half the world left to explore?

Sam’s show is all about the thoughts, decisions and choices we make to set us on the right path, to live out our dreams… and become a fuller version of ourselves. It all starts with our thoughts and as he suggests it’s really never too late!

Senior Moments - Quick Tix

Event Date: 26/05/2016, 08:00 pm

Return Fire Productions is pleased to present the world premiere of Senior Moments
Return Fire Productions is pleased to present the world premiere of Senior Moments, a comedy revue with a deliciously funny and fresh collection of comic senior moments, sketches and songs. A seriously funny cast who are old enough to know better make wicked fun of the trials and tribulations of growing old disgracefully. Glen Street Theatre in Sydney’s north will house the debut season of this tongue-in-cheek comedy from May 26 this year.
Light-hearted, fun and a little bit naughty whilst always remaining nice, Senior Moments features sketches such as ‘Senior Mastermind’ and ‘Old School’ (Romper Room meets Play School for the neglected over-65 age group), and musical highlights like ‘I Am the Very Model of a Modern Age Retiree’. At last audiences young and old can have some Senior Moments they’ll want to remember!
Senior Moments features a cast of veteran performers including Penny Cook (A Country Practice, Ladies in Lavender), Lex Marinos (Kingswood Country, The Slap), Benita Collings (Play School, Sleeping Beauty), John Derum (The Aunty Jack Show, A Sentimental Bloke), and Russell Newman (Fireflies, Dirty Dancing), with younger performers Nicola Parry (Thank God You’re Here, The Hollowmen) and Christian Barratt-Hill (The Jesters, Packed to the Rafters). Former Channel 9 musical director and Midday maestro Geoff Harvey will join the cast on piano.
Writer/producers Kevin Brumpton and Angus FitzSimons have been writing comedy and satire together for over fifteen years. They wrote and produced two series of the comedy The Jesters, starring Mick Molloy, Susie Porter and Deborah Kennedy, which was nominated for an AWGIE award for Best Situation or Narrative Comedy Writing. Having honed their gag writing skills for radio legend Doug Mulray, their television writing credits include Good News Week, The Chaser’s CNNNN, and the off-beat SBS comedy Life Support, as well as being Head Writers on the long-running Comedy Inc.

Appassionata

Event Date: 29/05/2016, 03:00 pm

Two of the most monumental works for the piano in a one-hour concert followed by drinks.
Resonance concerts are fabulous, one-hour events which highlight some of the world's greatest music, performed by leading singers and instrumentalists from Sydney and beyond. They are followed by complimentary drinks.

This month, two of the most monumental piano sonatas in history are brought to the stage by pianist Chris Cartner.

Beethoven’s ‘Appassionata’ (meaning ‘passionate’) is a work which sums up the depth of his personality: a world-changing sonata of humanity, rage, love and deep emotional impact.

The second half features the third (and final) piano sonata by Brahms. Truly a ‘symphony for the piano’, the work contains arguably some of the greatest melodic material of the 19th Century. From its devastating opening, through a profoundly beautiful second movement and a wild ‘scherzo’, the finale is almost cinematic in scope. The sonata remains one of the highlights of the entire piano repertoire.
