From the PresidentWelcome to another Stage Chat, keeping you informed of what’s happening at DTC! Despite the cold weather, a keen cast for our production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat has been enthusiastically braving the elements to attend rehearsals. (See our cast list below!) We are well on track to provide a very entertaining and visually exciting production in September. Although Joseph is our main focus at the moment, we have already started preparing for our first musical of 2004 – Carousel. For those interested in being involved in this production, see elsewhere in this newsletter. Let’s not
forget our play in January. Anybody
interested in directing or auditioning should contact Clare on 9555 5717. Because a significant number of children are involved with Joseph, we have delayed having a JETS (youth) production until early next year. Join
our Summer play
We are currently debating which play to present in
January. If you would like to
contribute to the debate, audition or otherwise assist with the production,
please contact Clare Andrews on 9555 5717. DTC needs people to assist with all areas
including direction. Cast for Joseph…
Play readingDandenong Theatre Company's own Darren first
came to public attention in 1996 when his play, ‘The Meeting Place’ was
produced during the Melbourne Fringe Festival. He won a Special
Recommendation Award for ‘The Meeting Place’ in the Melbourne Fringe
Performance Art Awards. In 1998, ‘Performing The
Goat’ followed in 1999, and was produced as part of the Melbourne Fringe
Festival. The strong, positive audience reaction and critical comment confirmed
Brealey’s ability to create realistic, original characterisations and dialogue: “ Darren joined
DTC (then known as Dandenong Light Opera Company)
in 1984 in his first musical, "My Fair Lady". Back then he was a starry-eyed fourteen
year old boy. He has been back on eclectic occasions to perform, assist and
promote DTC in many ways. Today nothing has changed; he still has stars in
his eyes. Darren now
brings his new work to DTC, searching for a cast and a rehearsed reading.
This satirical and farce-styled play caters for all ages; requiring actors
from the age of 10 to 70, male and female. The Hainsworth family (Mum, Dad and the four children) arrive
at their sea-side holiday home to get away from the city life. Their staunch
Housekeeper and mischievous It is a fun play
with much action all in the one staged set.
Darren is looking for a cast of 14 to perform a closed rehearsed
reading. This process will allow Darren to make notes and rewrite the script,
before submitting it to the Committee of DTC.
His intention is to have Hainsworth
Holiday produced as a summer production for DTC. Anyone
interested in assisting Darren with the rehearsed reading can contact him via
e-mail at cosmicplayers@yahoo.com.au. He can e-mail you a character
treatment, synopsis and a few pages of the script to give those interested in
helping, an idea of what you'll be reading.
Please supply your name, age and sex when applying for more information,
as this will determine the information you receive - the character details
will be relevant to your own details. This is another way DTC is proudly
supporting and promoting community theatre. |
