Tickets Now on Sale - Playboy of the Western World

2011-09-21T21:43:00.003+08:00

As the club continues to celebrate it's 80th year, tickets are now on sale for our latest production,"Playboy of the Western World".
We have a guest director for the show, Raymond Omodei. Raymond is a life member of the club, where he began his involvement with shows, before going on to work in professional theatre.
"Playboy of the Western World", written by J.M. Synge, is a three act Irish play, that has been performed many times, including at the Sydney Opera House. Set in the 1900's, it follows the life of a young man, who claims to be responsible for a murder. Keep enthralled as you follow his story, listen to the tales and maybe even witness a romance.
"It is an audaciously ironic play in which the audience, along with Shawn Keogh, is asked to accept a morality that is utterly mad. Because of a supposed brutal murder, a man becomes the hero of an isolated community of peasants...."
"The play is a hallowed classic of the Irish theatre and has behind it a formidable tradition of memorable productions and performances."
Play Director Raymond Omodei

The show opens on October 10th, and runs for 4 nights:
October 12th, 13th, 14th and 15th
All shows start at 8pm, with doors opening at 7:30.

We also have a Saturday matinee, October 15th, which starts at 2pm

The Convict's Opera - Tickets on Sale NOW!

2011-08-02T10:37:00.001+08:00

Don't worry - it's not an opera!

On 2nd January 1788, a play was performed on board the convict ship Scarborough en route to Botany Bay.

With this thought in mind, the musical play The Convict's Opera tells the story of a small group of convicts who gain permission from their uptight captain to produce a play, The Beggar's Opera by John Gay. This opera with music from folk tunes and popular ballads was the favourite choice of entertainment of the ordinary people in London in the Eighteenth Century.

The songs in The Convict's Opera are mainly 20th Century pop songs that even the crew cannot resist singing. The popular modern songs, along with the sprinkling of ballads make for an entertaining and unusual musical evening.

The actors range from a petty thief, to an arsonist, a counterfeiter, whores, a highwayman and a parson. As the play unfolds we learn about the convict's personal stories and can see parallels with their characters in The Beggar's Opera. They are sad and funny, bawdy and solemn and their stories will resonate with Australian audiences as they recognise the makings of a distinctly Australian character.

The show opens this Thursday, 6 August, at 7.30pm, with evening performances on 5, 6, 11, 12 and 13 August, and a special matinee at 2pm on Saturday 6 August.

Tickets are on sale now from the Goldfields Arts Centre www.goldfieldsartscentre.com.au or 9088 6900. Tickets are $25 each, or $20 for Rep Club members and concession.

The election also saw the return of committee members Norma Latchford (Artistic Director), Teresa Bennett, Chelsea Gillam, Abigail Ayers, David Lyons-Nash, and Colleen Williams (Wardrobe), and welcomed new committee members Sarah-Jayne Eeles and Alexis Harris.

Returning Rep Club President Lauren Chapman-Holle said she was thrilled to have such an enthusiastic and skilled group of people on the new committee.
“The committee members will also fill other roles within the Rep Club and its committee, including Publicity, Building and Maintenance, Membership, Social Co-Coordinator and our coordinating our 80th Anniversary Celebrations,” she said.
“This club, like all community organisations, only exists because we have such a strong base of member skills on which to draw, and this year, our 80th Anniversary, we look to all of our members to join us and assist in any way they can with the celebrations – be it through joining our Anniversary subcommittee, helping out behind the bar during shows, or just through sharing your memories of the Rep Club with us."

AUDITIONS - Convicts Opera

2011-03-16T18:29:00.001+08:00

THE Goldfields Repertory Club is heading out to sea in celebration of its 80th anniversary, as the Convict’s Opera comes to the stage.
Artistic director Norma Latchford is on the lookout for four women and seven men to play main roles in the show, and plenty more to take on smaller roles, and will be auditioning for the musical play on Sunday, March 13 at the Rep Club from 1pm.
The Convict’s Opera is an adaptation by Stephen Jeffries of John Gay’s Beggar’s Opera of 1728,
bringing in plenty of modern songs, too.

Norma describes the play as “a very new and exciting Australian musical production that recognises the history of theatre and the origins of Australia”.

“The Goldfields Repertory Club is the first amateur theatre club in Australia to gain the rights to perform this seminal work,” she said.

“The story tells of a group of convicts who are sentenced to transportation to Australia and gain
permission from the captain to put on a play, The Beggar’s Opera.

“This play within a play contains common thieves, a respectable forger, whores, an arsonist and
political prisoners. The anti hero Macheath gives us shades of Ned Kelly and the Bushrangers. We identify with them and our own convict history. "

Singing lessons will be given. Expressions of interest from musicians are also requested.
Please contact Norma on normalatchford@bigpond.com or on 90212624 for details.

One Acts a Huge Success!

2010-07-30T09:25:00.002+08:00

The Rep Club’s recent season of one act plays, Theatre Triptych, has just concluded a very successful run, with all three plays being very well received by audiences.

John Morgan’s Kids, directed by David Holle and starring Emma Hart, Dylan Della Vedova, Mark Alexander, Michelle Leahy and Jenny Roodt provided actors and audiences alike with an entertaining and energetic performance. Don Liley’s innovative and enormous set design added greatly to the atmosphere of the play.

Last Post written by Gene McConnell, directed by Georgia Foulkes-Taylor, was beautifully performed by experienced actors Marie Molloy and Jennifer Nicholls. The play started out to engross the audience in a heartbreaking situation only to surprise in the second part of the play with a twist that was both amusing and shocking to the unsuspecting. The play was entertaining and surprising to the end.

Derek Drives a Datsun, written by Kate Mulvaney and directed by Stuart Fleming, pushed the boundaries of common theatre decency. It was not to all peoples taste in content, however no one could argue that the performance given by actors Donald Liley and Lauren Chapman-Holle was anything less than outstanding. The play’s content challenged the ideologies of those who believe that death is sacred and not to be made fun of. However, upon close inspection of the content, the play satirical inspection of life’s underworld was revealing and informing to the woes of those less socially fortunate.

In whole it was a hugely successful season of One Act plays. Congratulations to fabulous cast, crew and directors. Thank you to all those that came to support those involved.

Auditions for the Goldfields Repertory Club's season of one act plays will be held next Tuesday.

There are roles for six males and four females aged 18 years and up.

The show is the perfect opportunity for people who had always dreamed of being on stage, but weren’t sure if they have the courage for a full length production

Murder Play, a thriller directed by Abigail Ayers, is about two couples who awake from a night of celebration to find one of their friends is no longer alive.

Ms Ayers said she loved the play as soon as she read the script, especially the twist at the end.

The Ambush, directed by Tim Sadleir and written by by club-stalwart Travis Hooper, is about a man who tries to set up his sister with a work colleague, who is attracted to someone else.

Mr Sadleir said he liked the script's sit-com style of humour.

The auditions will be held on Tuesday, August 4 at the Brookman Street Theatre at 7pm.

For more information call club president Lauren Chapman on 0408 921 269.

Many thanks to the dedicated Reppies who came down and helped out at the Mayor's Victorian Bushfire Appeal Fundraising Auction on Saturday February 21.

Travis Hooper, Clare Fleming, Ben Anderson, David Holle, Tim Sadleir and Alison Allen all flew volunteered their time, and flew the flag for the GRC, putting their RSA qualifications to good use serving behind the bar, clearing away empties and washing glasses til midnight. Thanks to all of you! More than $50,000 was raised at the event, and will all be donated to charities helping those affected by these devastating fires.

Well seeing as we were having so much trouble keeping the website at goldrp.asn.au updated we decided to start a blog instead. Much easier and soooo 2008 I reckon.

The Club will be using this blog to post upcoming events, pictures, news and reviews and pretty much whatever is going on at the GRC.

Feel free to leave a comment, we'll check them all and respond if we really have to.
