A snippet of Groover in action

by Cellobella on Monday, December 6, 2010

As you know Groover has been in a play recently called The Beat Goes On by A Lad In Sane productions. Well, I have a tiny bit of the show so you can see him in action. Actually you see more of his co-star… My only excuse is that I got too involved in the [...]

Stage kissing – not a guide

by Cellobella on Tuesday, November 9, 2010

So as you know I have recently been in a play – a wholly improvised play – at Subiaco Arts Centre, and Saturday night’s performance took me back to an audition I had when I was about 15. 15 and NEVER been kissed. In the audition piece I had to kiss my lover. WTF Well [...]

In a New York Minute

by Cellobella on Friday, October 22, 2010

“In a New York Minute, everything can change… things can get a little strange” DON HENLEY I’m in this  Spontaneous Insanity show at the Subiaco Arts Centre and I am out of my comfort zone. It is a wholly improvised show, with improvised music and improvised lighting. Luckily I completely trust my fellow actors and [...]

Man in the marigolds

by Cellobella on Saturday, July 3, 2010

Tonight we went to the Phoenix Theatre in Hamilton Hill to see the last night of the community theatre production of “The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-moon Marigolds” a play by Paul Zindel, directed by Jane Sherwood. When I first saw this on Facebook I was immediately keen to go. I was a big [...]

The reviews are in

Not that I’m biased but I do agree with this particular review of Groover’s first ever stage production (with lines and everything) – Arsenic and Old Lace: Within this set we meet Joseph Kesselring’s bizarre characters, all of whom are presented by well-chosen actors, but one must say that the standout character of Teddy Brewster/Roosevelt [...]

Shrouded City

by Cellobella on Tuesday, June 15, 2010 · 3 comments

One of the things I like about commuting (rather than driving) to work is the feeling that I am part of something bigger. Yesterday for example, looking  up as I walked up the ramp from the station I was struck by this image of my city shrouded in low lying cloud. It doesn’t happen often. [...]

Getting excited

by Cellobella on Monday, May 24, 2010

Only a month to go before the opening night of Arsenic and Old Lace, the play Groover is appearing in at the Midland Junction Arts Centre. Four weeks to find out where that actually is! Groover is the one with the bugle. Scripts are already down and the group are doing full run throughs which [...]

Learning lines

by Cellobella on Sunday, May 2, 2010 · 1 comment

Yes community theatre is all very well in theory – a fun time out showing off in front of your mates. But there’s some serious line learning to be done – even if you’ve got a smallish character part. So… what better way than to learn them and exercise at the same time. Once at [...]

Bugle Boy

Well rehearsals have started and now we are without Groover’s company two to three nights a week as he heads to Midland to rehearse for Blak Yak‘s upcoming production of Arsenic and Old Lace. (the season is in June – don’t miss it) This is Groover’s first foray into community theatre and he has to [...]
