Sam McCool - Turning Thoughty

Event Date: 26/05/2016, 06:45 pm

ONE MAN’S CRISIS IS ANOTHER’S OASIS!
By age 40, most humans have had an average of 730 million thoughts. Some are good, some are dubious, and some are downright disastrous. On the 26th May, 2016, two things will happen - Comedian, Sam McCool,

launches the premiere of his new show ‘TURNING THOUGHTY’. On that very same day he turns 40 celebrating it at Australia’s most prestigious venue, SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE. This marks McCool’s long-awaited

return to the world-famous venue after a sell-out show in 2012 when he came to prominence on Channel 7’s AUSTRALIA’S GOT TALENT.

“Incredibly convincing… hilarious.” - Australian Stage

“Enthralling… keeping the whole audience on their toes.“ - Herald Sun

“Seriously good fun.” - Melbourne Comedy Festival



It’s a hilarious new show about age-ism and getting older, but rather than suffering a mid-life crisis, Sam has coined the phrase “mid-life oasis” to encapsulate his thoughts on turning 40. At 35, Sam quit his day job and

took on the challenge of becoming an international globe-trotting comedian, but 5 years on how does it feel to still be “living the dream”? And what next for a creative mind with half the world left to explore?

Sam’s show is all about the thoughts, decisions and choices we make to set us on the right path, to live out our dreams… and become a fuller version of ourselves. It all starts with our thoughts and as he suggests it’s really never too late!

Senior Moments - Quick Tix

Event Date: 26/05/2016, 08:00 pm

Return Fire Productions is pleased to present the world premiere of Senior Moments
Return Fire Productions is pleased to present the world premiere of Senior Moments, a comedy revue with a deliciously funny and fresh collection of comic senior moments, sketches and songs. A seriously funny cast who are old enough to know better make wicked fun of the trials and tribulations of growing old disgracefully. Glen Street Theatre in Sydney’s north will house the debut season of this tongue-in-cheek comedy from May 26 this year.
Light-hearted, fun and a little bit naughty whilst always remaining nice, Senior Moments features sketches such as ‘Senior Mastermind’ and ‘Old School’ (Romper Room meets Play School for the neglected over-65 age group), and musical highlights like ‘I Am the Very Model of a Modern Age Retiree’. At last audiences young and old can have some Senior Moments they’ll want to remember!
Senior Moments features a cast of veteran performers including Penny Cook (A Country Practice, Ladies in Lavender), Lex Marinos (Kingswood Country, The Slap), Benita Collings (Play School, Sleeping Beauty), John Derum (The Aunty Jack Show, A Sentimental Bloke), and Russell Newman (Fireflies, Dirty Dancing), with younger performers Nicola Parry (Thank God You’re Here, The Hollowmen) and Christian Barratt-Hill (The Jesters, Packed to the Rafters). Former Channel 9 musical director and Midday maestro Geoff Harvey will join the cast on piano.
Writer/producers Kevin Brumpton and Angus FitzSimons have been writing comedy and satire together for over fifteen years. They wrote and produced two series of the comedy The Jesters, starring Mick Molloy, Susie Porter and Deborah Kennedy, which was nominated for an AWGIE award for Best Situation or Narrative Comedy Writing. Having honed their gag writing skills for radio legend Doug Mulray, their television writing credits include Good News Week, The Chaser’s CNNNN, and the off-beat SBS comedy Life Support, as well as being Head Writers on the long-running Comedy Inc.

Appassionata

Event Date: 29/05/2016, 03:00 pm

Two of the most monumental works for the piano in a one-hour concert followed by drinks.
Resonance concerts are fabulous, one-hour events which highlight some of the world's greatest music, performed by leading singers and instrumentalists from Sydney and beyond. They are followed by complimentary drinks.

This month, two of the most monumental piano sonatas in history are brought to the stage by pianist Chris Cartner.

Beethoven’s ‘Appassionata’ (meaning ‘passionate’) is a work which sums up the depth of his personality: a world-changing sonata of humanity, rage, love and deep emotional impact.

The second half features the third (and final) piano sonata by Brahms. Truly a ‘symphony for the piano’, the work contains arguably some of the greatest melodic material of the 19th Century. From its devastating opening, through a profoundly beautiful second movement and a wild ‘scherzo’, the finale is almost cinematic in scope. The sonata remains one of the highlights of the entire piano repertoire.

The Taming Of The Shrew

Event Date: 19/05/2016, 07:30 pm

Sport For Jove remounts it hugely successful production of Shakespeare's more controversial play.
Sport For Jove is remounting its hugely successful production of Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew on the great Hollywood soundstage of the silent film era, in the York Theatre, Seymour Centre and the Riverside Theatre, Parramatta.

Shakespeare’s love stories challenge us very deeply. They tend to be models of disharmony and madness in which trust, patience and finally, hope, are only reached through chaos and pain. They are as troubling as they are funny, and as beautiful as they are disturbing. The Taming of the Shrew captures that paradox perfectly, among the most challenging, confronting and exuberant plays ever written.

Sport for Jove’s world-class production won unanimous critical acclaim in its 2011/12 Summer Festival Season, where it was nominated for 5 Sydney Theatre Awards including Best Independent Production, Actor, Actress, Director and Design. This strictly limited season is not to be missed!
