Short Sweet And Theatre

Event Date: 27/02/2014, 07:30 pm

Short+Sweet - the festival of tasty short theatre bites
The annual festival of 10-minute plays opens 8 January running through to 3 March at the King Street Theatre, Newtown. The program changes weekly and plays Wed - Sat 7.30pm plus Sun 5.15. Plus the Wildcard performances: Sat 2:30pm, Sun 1pm and Mon at 7:30pm.

Theatre festival director Pete Malicki – taking the helm of his 3rd straight fest - said Short+Sweet was the biggest of its type in the world. This year it boasts 170 short plays – chosen from more than 1200 entries from all over Australia and internationally – and showcasing the talents of 320 writers and directors and more than 450 actors.

On display is the work of both seasoned professionals and talented newcomers – often in an explosive alchemical mix. This year Sydney also welcomes companies visiting from Malaysia and India where the international arm of Short+Sweet is already well-established.

Pete enthused about the networking opportunities such a festival offers artists as well as a door way to further fame - and sometimes even fortune!

"In 2009 when presenting my first Short+Sweet play I saw an amazing monologue by a young woman wrapped in bandages while talking about having sex with super villains.

“That actress was Steph Dawson who just recently landed herself a lead role as Annie Cresta in The Hunger Games."

Other Short+Sweet alumni include Rose Byrne and Brendan Cowell.

This year, the theatre festival runs in parallel during January to a Cabaret and Dance festival, just up the road at the New Theatre.

Courtney Act - Boys Like Me

Event Date: 25/02/2014, 08:00 pm

Hit cabaret show, one night only.
Courtney Act - the nom de plume of gender illusionist, Shane Jenek - brings her hit cabaret show, Boys Like Me to Sydney Theatre for one night only on Tuesday 25 February, direct from sold out seasons in NYC and LA.

Courtney Act airs hysterical dirty laundry from her titillating sex life, including the angry text from that straight boy’s girlfriend, the twins in Montreal and the US Marine, to name a few.

Courtney Act’s dazzling career kicked off after she became a semi-finalist on Australian idol in 2003, leading to a national arena tour and record deal with SONY/BMG. Since then, she’s opened for Lady Gaga (and sang at her birthday party), played Angel in Rent and been voted by FHM Magazine as one of the top 100 Sexiest Women in the world (despite being a bloke).

It has just been announced that Courtney Act, who was in the first series of Australian Idol in 2003, will appear on television in RuPaul’s Drag Race early next year. To appear on this internationally viewed reality tv show is an huge privilege and acknowledgement of Courtney Act’s professional standing in the entertainment business.

Boys Like Me showcases Courtney’s observations of life on the gender divide, her journey through masculinity and femininity and how it manifests when boys like her.

Courtney Act appears at Sydney Theatre as part of a trio of shows for Mardi Gras. Following Courtney on the 25 February are Bob Downe (26 - 27 February) and Trevor Ashley (28 February).

Suitable for ages 15+

TRICIA EVY (France)

Event Date: 21/02/2014, 08:30 pm

Award winning French Chanteuse Tricia Evy returns to Sydney
"This woman is goddess like!”
- CHINA MOSES, Paris Jazz Play

Award winning French Chanteuse Tricia Evy returns to Sydney to launch her long awaited second CD Meet Me. The album has already received great reviews in France,the West Indies where she grew up, and in Korea.

Tricia gives a stunning selection of jazz standards - Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong, Nat King Cole - her Caribbean touch that showcase her skills asboth a wonderful composer and a beautiful lyricist, whose voice will touch your heart and soul. Tricia will sing in French,English,Creole & Portuguese.

A rising star on the world jazz scene, Tricia has worked extensively across Europe,including major festivals and venues such as Paris’ famous Duc des Lombards, and appearances at some of the EU’s biggest Jazz festivals and clubs including Jazz A Vienne, Montreaux Jazz festival, Bulach Jazz festival, Jazz Ascona, Martinique Jazz Festival, Jazz en Touraine & Orleon Jazz Festival, amongst many more.

This is her seventh trip to Australia and her first appearance at Foundry616.

Joining Tricia will be some of Sydney's hottest young musicians, including special guest Tricia's collaborator in the highly successful Billie, Ella and Louis show, singer-trombonist Dan Barnett.

"Tricia Evy is the real thing: she is not trying to be a jazz singer, she just is. And because it comes naturally she seems refreshingly ingenuous. Her voice is mellifluous and malleable, she improvises without the awkwardness that besets so many singers when they scat, and she has her own internalised buoyant swing (rather than being dependent on the band).”
- JOHN SHAND, Sydney Morning Herald
