Trevor Ashley - Star Struck

Event Date: 08/11/2013, 08:00 pm

‘STAR STRUCK’ A LIVE CABARET TRIBUTE TO THE DIVAS
RAVE REVIEWS FROM TREVOR’S August show:-
“Musically, the show is Ashley’s best. It’s the perfect casino spectacular – both glamorous and irreverent...if Star Struck returns, go see it. It’s Ashley at his hilarious best and could be one of the best nights out you’ll ever have.” AussieTheatre.com


“Hits and covers by Cher, Liza Minnelli, Bette Midler, Shirley Bassey and Tina Turner became new hits in the show-stopping hands and heels of Ashley, the ‘Trevettes’ and band. A complete standing ovation was indication that this latest instalment deserves its history repeating.” Sydney Arts Guide


The brilliant Trevor Ashley returns in triumphant style to Sydney’s vibrant new entertainment venue, The Star Event Centre performing STAR STRUCK for one night only on Friday 8 November.


Trevor brings the great divas back with the high energy of Tina Turner, the madness of Bette Midler, the elegance of Shirley Bassey and the anthems of Cher – all channelled with the inimitable Ashley spin.


Accompanied by Elliot Wilshier with a hot live band, and joined by the dazzling Trevettes – two sexy dancers in a cavalcade of costumes – it’s everything you’d want to see from this “true star of the stage” on a scale that you’ve never seen before.

Trevor Ashley is often described as ‘the busiest man in Australian show-business’. This multi-talented writer, musical director, performer and producer made his musical debut in Priscilla Queen of the Desert – the Musical. This was followed with Gale Edward’s hit Jerry Springer the Opera. Most recently Trevor won accolades for his portrayal of Edna Turnblad in Hairspray.


With Phil Scott and Gretel Killeen onboard the jokes are sharp, the material as bawdy as ever and hysterical laughter is guaranteed.

reaching a milestone in its 10TH momentous year. Paying homage to beloved icons PINK

venues since 2003 and is mounting a climactic return in 2013, with new venues added.

The Maintenance Room

Event Date: 07/11/2013, 07:30 pm

NEW AUSTRALIAN PLAY OFFERS HOPE AND TRUST IN THE FACE OF DESPAIR
When you’re at the precipice… whom can you trust?
Sydney is about to see new play about friendship and self-discovery… on the edge.


Two strangers who meet atop a tall building must make a leap of faith or embrace their own despair in a new Australian play which makes its debut in Sydney in November.


Life has become unbearble for Edward. He's lost all trust in the human race, and decides to end it all by jumping off a tall building. An old multi-storey factory due for demolition seems ideal, so he makes his way up to a maintenance room on the roof. When he arrives he accidentally disturbs a homeless man who has taken up residence there, and who angrily demands to know what Edward is up to.


What follows as these two explore - sometimes dramatically, sometimes hilariously - each other’s reasons for being on top of the building will determine whether they both live or die. Featuring actors Kim Knuckey and Lynden Jones, this is a story about trust in others and the struggle to regain it after all faith has been stripped away.


Award-winning Sydney playwright Gerry Greenland was inspired to write this play after witnessing the devastating effect that loss had on a friend.



“People fall into very dark places when they lose faith in themselves, in others and in life itself,” Greenland says,


“Rational thinking disappears, and existence itself seems pointless. Regaining hope and trust in something, or someone, however small, is the life-raft that can rescue them from disaster. I wanted to write a play that would make audiences laugh, yet still engage them to share that dark journey, and to help them hear in others that hidden cry for a life-raft.”


The Maintenance Room plays at the Newtown’s King Street Theatre from 7 to 30 November.

Sean O’Riordan’s black comedy thriller, set in contemporary North London
Hiding from the criminal mate he betrayed, lonely chess-mad Max hatches a winning plot to defeat
his rival. But when he opens his front door to a mystery woman, his plan falls apart and he has to
improvise for his life to avoid a deadly checkmate.


Sean O’Riordan’s black comedy thriller, set in contemporary North London, explores the dark edges of friendship, love, lust, family and betrayal as two crooks meet up after a lifetime of fear and bitterness.


O’Riordan was dared to write this play by Lex Marinos, his fellow teacher at the Actors College of Theatre and Television and well-known stage and screen actor (The Slap, Who Do You Think You Are?). They were joined by ACTT colleague Deborah Jones and actor-producer Tiffany Stoecker as together they work-shopped, honed and polished the final draft for production.


This world premiere production, directed by and starring both O’Riordan and Jones themselves, also features Eleanor Ryan and Geoff Sirmai as Max. Co-directed by Siobhan Lawless with set design by Andrea Espinoza, costumes by Robin Monkhouse and lighting design by Tony Youlden.


Warning! This hilarious but disturbing play features sadistic dentistry, threats of head renovation… and a dangerous set of stairs.

Cristina In The Cupboard

Event Date: 06/11/2013, 08:00 pm

...an experiment in comic magical realism
Cristina in the Cupboard by Paul Gilchrist



Everyone needs time out. Everyone needs to get away.

Not everyone does it like this.



Cristina in the Cupboard is an experiment in comic magical realism.


The story of an unusual retreat, and a remarkable victory, it’s the latest work by critically acclaimed writer director Paul Gilchrist.


“Gilchrist is great with words….obviously a playwright worth watching” Media Culture.



With Cristina in the Cupboard, subtlenuance return to the world of magical realism they first explored in their 2008 debut production, True Times Three:


“I can’t really bring to mind the last time I laughed as loud and, almost amidst it, felt the agony of intense searing tragedy” Australian Stage Online



Playful and provocative, Cristina in the Cupboard tells of one woman’s quest
to live life entirely on her own terms.


Join Cristina on a breathtaking inner journey, as she navigates illusion,
weathers dismay, and discovers wonder.


“Of all the things to fear, the worst to fear is joy.”



Directed by Paul Gilchrist.
With Helen Tonkin, Peter McAllum,
Alice Keohavong, Sylvia Keays, Sonya Kerr,
Sinead Curry, Kelly Robinson and Stephen Wilkinson.

HAIRSPRAY

Event Date: 02/11/2013, 02:00 pm

Broadway's Big Fat Musical Comedy Hit
Ashfield Musical Society is pleased to present their musical for November 2013.



Hairspray delighted audiences by sweeping them away to 1960's Baltimore, where the 50's are out and change is in the air!


Loveable plus-size heroine, Tracy Turnblad, has a passion for dancing, and wins a spot on the local TV dance program, "The Corny Collins Show”. Overnight she finds herself transformed from outsider to teen celebrity. Can a larger-than-life adolescent manage to vanquish the program's reigning princess, integrate the television show, and find true love (singing and dancing all the while, of course!) without mussing her hair?



This wonderful production is only running for 8 performances over 2 weekends at the Concord RSL Club Auditorium.



Show Dates:


1st, 2nd, 8th & 9th Nov 2013 @ 8:00pm

2nd, 3rd, 9th & 10th Nov 2013 @ 2:00pm
