The Wharf Revue

Event Date: 03/10/2013, 08:00 pm

...razor-sharp satire & blend of side-splitting sketches
Written and created by Jonathan Biggins, Drew Forsythe and Phillip Scott



That singing, dancing extravaganza, The Wharf Revue, returns with bite for an annual dose of razor-sharp satire and special blend of side-splitting sketches and musical hilarity.



The mighty and ridiculous will duck for cover as The Wharf Revue team swoops in for another go at poking politics and popular culture in the eye with its carefully sharpened satire stick.



At least we can count on the Federal Election for delivering one good news story: the provision of plenty of new material for these talented satirists...Whoops! They know they can run, but they can’t hide - nothing and no-one will be spared! Combining a cast of colourful characters - Eddie Obeid, Ian Macdonald, Tony Abbott, Gina Rinehart, Clive Palmer, Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard still, along with their boisterous songs; the Wharf Revue will be packed full of up-to-the-minute satire which makes it such a hit year after year.



When Amanda Bishop, Simon Burke and Andrew Worboys join Jonathan Biggins and Drew Forsythe on stage it’s a guaranteed lark.



Tickets: $30 - $70

Theatresport Cranston Cup - Heat 1
It’s Comedy! It’s History! It’s the Impro Australia's THEATRESPORTS CRANSTON CUP!



Since 1985, the funniest comedians, actors, improvisers, writers and performers, have thrown away their scripts and stepped up the to the edge of the comedy cliff… and jumped off!

And it’s all for your pleasure!

For nearly 30 years audiences have come along to belly laugh at the antics of these brave teams of comics as they either succeed or fail epically!

Every year, wave after wave of teams, scared scriptless and desperate to score big with the judges, play to win their way through the Heats, Semi-finals, and then all the way to the Enmore Theatre for the Grand Final, and the chance to engrave their names on the Theatresports Holy Grail, the Cranston Cup!



Each week they battle it out for the honour of being crowned the funniest, most inventive, most spontaneous and just sheer craziest performers in Australia!


The Honour Roll of Winners includes such famous names as Andrew O’Keefe, Andrew Denton, Josh Lawson, Rebecca De Unamuno, Jay Laga’aia, Jordan Raskopoulos, Geoff Kelso, Adam Spencer, Davd Callan, Marko Mustac, Ewan Campbell, Lisa Ricketts, Murray Fahey, Jon Williams and more!

Chatswood Musical Society brings FAME to life on the northside
One of the great Broadway musicals ever hits the north shore in October when Chatswood Musical Society brings '80s blockbuster FAME to life on the northside.


With a cast choc-full of local talent, the earthy and energised hit is based on the Academy-award-winning movie and includes the thrilling title song that won an Oscar for Irene Cara.


Set in the NYC High School of Performing Arts where talent is gold, the harsh truth is that only blood, sweat and tears can realise young dreams of stardom. Long before Glee or reality TV, there was FAME. Don't miss it!

Equus

Event Date: 26/09/2013, 06:30 pm

Equus is a two act play by British playwright Sir Peter Shaffer.
The British play Equus, by Sir Peter Shaffer was first produced at the National Theatre in London on July 26 1973. 40 years later the impact the play has on audiences is still as strong as it was when first produced. The universality of some of the plays themes: crime, religion, the media, coming of age and identity, drive the play through a narrative that is mysterious, captivating, unnerving and breathtaking. A narrative that audiences can't help but connect with. This is one of the great plays centering around youth in society. A 2007 - 2009 London revival which transferred to Broadway starred Daniel Radcliffe and the late Richard Grif?ths. You are invited to share in the celebration and excitement of this theatrical experience.

"As a story, it is compelling...Shaffer...creates an exciting spectacle...an exciting, unusual theatrical event."
Michael Billington, The Guardian.

Narrow As The Line

Event Date: 25/09/2013, 07:30 pm

A play set on the Western front during WWI.
Part of the Sydney Fringe Festival


Narrow as the Line is a funny, evocative and ultimately tragic portrayal of the effects of trench warfare on the human psyche.


Set on the Western Front during the height of World War One, the play follows two days in the life of the 3rd Battalion’s officers. It’s cold, it’s wet, and they’re expecting a German offensive at any moment, yet in true Aussie tradition they attempt to make the best of a bad lot: jokes, stories, games, anything to take their minds off the reality of the situation.
​


But on the front the horror can never be escaped for long and ultimately they are shown to be caught in the perpetual repetition of what is their daily routine. Slowly the routine of war become the every day, until it goes unnoticed.

When even war and death can become a routine for an individual what does that mean for society? As the second act picks up it becomes clear that the characters are now stuck not only in the First World War, but in a never ending repetition of every war through history.
