LCTC President Lochie Beh said ‘The production was a resounding success. The cast, director and crew all did a fantastic job. Night after night our audience was almost rolling with laughter. It was wonderful to see.’ But don’t take Lochie’s word for it, read this amazing review from Weekend Notes: www.weekendnotes.com/cosi-lane-cove-theatre-company/ Our zany and wonderfully talented cast
![]() Auditions for our upcoming show Holding the Man are coming up on 27 and 28 May so we sat down with director Kathryn Thomas to get the lowdown on the show and what she’s looking for. 1. What is 'Holding the Man' about? Holding the Man is about an extremely complex 15 year relationship between Tim and John, in which they go through the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. It is honestly one of the most tragic and uniquely beautiful stories I have ever read. 2. Why did you want to direct this show? I was drawn to direct this show because as a member of the LGBTI community, I find stories like Tim and John's so incredibly important towards creating social change and understanding towards the community. It is also one of the most challenging shows, even just to watch, so I was drawn to the complexity. 3. What parts are you looking to cast? I am looking for a full cast, which is Tim, John and 4 ensemble members who play multiple roles, like the boys friends and family. 4. What are you looking for in cast members? With all the casts I have worked with, openness is key. I have a unique directing style, using a lot of psychological exercises and practical work, so being open and prepared for a challenge is essential. 5. Which part of the production process are you most excited about? It's easy to the say the finished product, but what I'm most excited for is creating a relationship with the cast, forming that bond which often happens over a show, especially one of this nature. Also just seeing what actors do naturally is mesmerising, and maybe my favourite thing as a director. Book your audition at Brand X in St Leonards by emailing [email protected]. ![]() Lane Cove Theatre Company is staging Cosi from 6-9 April here we give you the top five reasons why you should book your ticket now. 1. You’re supporting home-grown, Aussie talent. Cosi was written by Australian playwright Louis Nowra. 2. Too much Mozart is never enough. The play centres on our main character who is teaching the patients to perform Cosi van tutti. 3. We all need to understand more about people living with mental illness. Cosi is the story of a fresh-faced university graduate Lewis, who is contracted to put on a play at the local psychiatric ward starring the patients. 4. Many of our cast are critically-acclaimed veterans of the stage including Anna Kourouvale and Brent Dolahenty. 5. You deserve to treat yourself to a night at the theatre. Cosi is on at the O'Kelly Drama Theatre in St Ignatius College from 6-9 April 2017. Book your tickets now. |
