Goldilocks, the most popular and beautiful girl in all of Fairyfail, has gone missing! The only person who can find her is Brownilocks, her lesser known little sister. As Brownilocks sets off, she meets some Fairyfail residents- the Big Bad Wolf, Rumpelstiltskin and more – and discovers that they don’t quite live up to their reputations…

This is an original script subverting well-known fairytales. Brownilocks is the perennial underdog, and will demonstrate to children that heroes can appear in unlikely forms. It is cheeky and high energy, featuring 5 performers, a live musical score and a lot of audience interaction.

Venue
PARADE STUDIO, PARADE THEATRES
Price
Full $25 / Conc $22 / Group 6 + $20

When:
Fresh from a five-star season at the 2009 Edinburgh Fringe Festival comes Princess Cabaret, a satire dealing with those meek and male-dependent icons, the Disney Princesses. Seven young women with backgrounds in comedy, musicals and impro bring you fast-paced sketches and songs as they explore old conventions and their nostalgia for childhood heroines. Who knows, maybe happy endings don’t always require a prince! This cheeky satire contains high-level coarse language and adult themes.

With writer-director Brydie Lee-Kennedy as Ariel, musician Sophie Miller as Tinkerbell, Jo Bourke as Belle, Keira Daley as Aurora, Amy Louise Hume as Cinderella, Rebecca Saffir as Snow White and Elise Fabris as Jasmine.

Alice: Through The Looking Glass

It’s time to go mad with the Hatter, the Hare and all your favourite characters!

Through the Looking Glass next playing at the Surry Hills Library, 11am, 17 April 2010

Tumbleweed Productions invites you to come on two fantastic, hilarious journeys through Wonderland and Looking Glass World. Three comic performers and a one-woman band present Lewis Carroll’s classics, which will be loved by children and grown-ups alike. The four performers will sing, dance and play their way through Lewis Carroll’s imagination in two fun-filled shows for the whole family.

So: are you ready to fall down the rabbit hole?

In the school holidays, Alice and her friends come out to play – look out for details of where here.

The Alice project appeared at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival 2009, the Bondi Pavilon in July 2009 and the Adelaide Fringe Festival in 2010.

Lend them your BLANK and they’ll sing you a song. In fact, they’ll sing you a whole musical – BLANK the Musical – with all the melody, harmony, fun and feeling of a regular stage musical – sans script and score. They’re singin’ on the edge!

Improvised comedy gets a song and dance routine by eight of Sydney’s hottest improv comedians. Just inspire them with your BLANK at the start, then sit back and enjoy as your BLANK unfolds.

The talented cast combines the spontaneity and hilarity audiences love from improvised comedy shows such as Theatresports®, or TV favourites Thank God You’re Here and Whose Line is it Anyway?, with the all-singing, all-dancing pizzazz of a Broadway musical.

Starring: Amanda Buckley, Tim Judge, Pete Lead, Brydie Lee-Kennedy, Jon Williams, Adam Yardley and special guests with Sophie Miller on keys.
