LTC's first production for 2009, Who Goes Bare?
is finished - everyone's clothes finally returned to them and
the cast needing to go bare no more. Despite a few bumpy
moments early on in the run (in which a hat spectacularly
shattered a glass on the stage with hilarious results), the show
has gone over very well with audiences.
The performances were generally praised by everyone, with
special praises frequently made to Kristina Creighton as
the ditzy maid Minnie (one avid theatregoer saying she gave the
best performance he'd seen on an amateur stage ever) and
James Evans as "Maxie Maudlin" and is series of nearly
impossible quick costume changes throughout the play leading to
a spectacular array of new and different characters every time
he made an appearance. But everyone involved did an
amazing job bringing some serious laughter and merriment to
those who saw it. Many finished the play wishing it didn't
have to end!
The show is on! Two shows down, three more to go, the
season for Who Goes Bare? is going nicely, with tickets
starting to sell out! After a bit of a bumpy start, the
cast are starting to hit their strides putting in some
wonderfully comic performances. Audience reports have been
very positive, some saying they think it's one of the best shows
LTC have done in years, and others saying they haven't
laughed so hard in ages, and they can't wait to come back and
see it again!
In Beauty And The Beast, Kate Taylor has had to
step down from the role of Mrs Potts due to personal reasons.
To fill the role of the famous dancing teapot, Denise Twite,
who has been in various LTC productions over the years including
Fiddler On The Roof as Fruma Sarah and Into The Woods
as Cinderella's Mother, has stepped up from the ensemble.
According to the production team, the choice between Kate and
Denise for the role of Mrs Potts was very close indeed, and
while it's regrettable that Kate has had to withdraw, Denise
will certainly deliver the goods. Or at the very least,
pour the tea.
Meanwhile, in the Who Goes Bare? cast, John Lord,
who was originally playing the part of the Police Seargent has
had a heart attack (no doubt brought on due to the increasing
nudity appearing in this play!). Michelle Linahan
has graciously agreed to step into the role with incredibly
short notice with just over three weeks until opening night.
Michelle, who has for the past few weeks been prompting the cast
at rehearsals, we last seen on stage in Break A Leg Theatre
Group's Thriller Of The Year, but is no stranger to
Gippsland theatres, having been Assistant Director in Fiddler
On The Roof and Break A Leg's No Sex Please, We're
British and was recently Chair of Gippsland Associated
Theatre Inc. As the police sergeant, Michelle is sure to
bring some order to the rest of the Who Goes Bare? cast,
though we have yet to hear whether she will be playing the role
as a "he" or a "she". Either way, Michelle will definitely
do a fine job! Well done sir! Or ma'm, as the case
may be.
