A Play In A Day 25th Feb
We see the return of the 6th Annual Play In A Day on February 25th at the Doncaster Secondary College Theatre.
Play In A Day is raw, exciting, and innovative theatre - where it takes only 24 hours to write, direct, rehearse and perform a series of short plays. A group of 36 people meet on Friday evening, where they are divided into 6 groups, that consist of a writer, director and cast. They are given a theme, which is to be the basis of the 10 minute play. Each group gets together to discuss the theme, then leaves the writer to to put a script together overnight. The director and cast meet the writer on Saturday morning, then start rehearsing the newly written script, which will be performed at 8.00pm, that evening at the Doncaster Secondary College Theatre, Church Road, Doncaster.
Tickets are $15.00, which include a light supper after the evenings performances. Bookings can be made on 1300 650 209, or tickets purchased at the door.

The Shoe-Horn Sonata By John Misto
Directed By Loretta Bishop
In 1945 Sheila and Bridie were freed from a Japanese POW camp deep in the jungles of Sumatra where thousands of women and children had lived and died virtually forgotten by their own governments. Now, after being separated for half a century, the filming of a television documentary forces them to relive the past, contact the present and question the future. Woven into their fifty years of separation are a shoe-horn and the threads of loyalty and love which form their 'uncommon bond'.

Rabbit Hole By David Lindsay-Abaire
Directed By Horrie Leek
Becca and Howie Corbett have everything a family could want, until a life-shattering accident turns their world upside down and leaves the couple drifting perilously apart. RABBIT HOLE charts their bittersweet search for comfort in the darkest of places and for a path that will lead them back into the light of day.

Slim Chance By Peter Gordon
Directed By Helen Ellis
A local slimming group meet regularly at a local church hall. The group is struggling because the 'slimmers' are not taking their slimming seriously and weight gains, not losses, are occuring. The long suffering organiser desperately tries to find ways to motivate her charges and meet the targets set by Head Office. She receives some very unexpected help.
