Final weeks of rehearsal are always a demanding time as actors, under the guidance of their director, are encouraged to add more layers to their characters which can be a little overwhelming at times.

Last Thursday night, rehearsal was a breakthrough point for cast with Di Minihan thrilled with the confidence shown in letting go of inhibitions and giving a truly amusing performance.

This week cast will have background music, chosen and sourced by producer Lyn Sterling, added to a few scenes bringing new challenges in projecting their voices over distracting sound necessary for particular effect. Patrons are in for a cracker of a show.

Dags will be on stage on March 29, 30, 31 and April 5, 6, 7. Tickets are available online at www.baytheatreplayers.org.au. If you prefer to purchase tickets in person, the Box Office is open at the theatre on Saturdays only from 10am to 12 noon. There are only eight shows so book your tickets now.

Director Sam Lloyd invites you to the information session for the mid-year production of Macbeth, on Saturday, March 16, at 2pm in the foyer of the Bay Playhouse in Gregory Street, Batemans Bay.

The session will cover the details of the play, the available roles, the director’s vision and the audition and rehearsal expectations. Sam will answer any questions leading into both the audition process and the production itself. If you are interested in auditioning on Saturday, March 23 it is highly recommended that you attend on March 16.

Don’t forget there will be a fun-filled murder mystery evening with a three-course meal on Saturday, August 17, in the Batemans Bay Soldiers Club auditorium.

We are aiming for around 160 guests or 20 tables of eight to maximise the enjoyment. Spread the word and save the date! We will keep you posted in future newsletters and on our Facebook page and website. This will be a great opportunity to enjoy a relaxing night out.
