The Return Of Love
Letters
Tuesday 20
May, 2008
Just when we thought the nostalgia had finished, we find more
reasons to look back over our history and revisit our past
shows. Back in 2000, Christine Skicko and Ernie
Rijs delighted us all in the short play Love Letters
- and now they're both back to do it all again, under the
excellent direction of Barry Whitehead!
If you
happen to be passing through Trafalgar East on Saturday May 31
(and if you're not, you should be), come along and see this
lovely little Pulitzer Prize nominated play in action.
Love Letters will be performed in the Trafalgar East Hall on
Telephone Road at 8:00 PM (doors open at 7:00). Tickets
are $10 each. For bookings please call either Noreen on
(03) 5633 1506, Cheryl on (03) 5633 1999 or Glenys on (03) 5633
1884.
Our Best
Photos!!!
Thursday 15
May, 2008
And the curtain goes down again on another successful Latrobe
Theatre Company production as Our Best Bits
finishes its short season at the Turfside Function Centre in
Moe. Director Christine Skicko and her very
talented cast have once again shown us how skilled and capable
our members can be - not only performing to a theatre full of
eagle-eyed audience members, but wowing an audience who are
simultaneously trying to eat! Seriously, well done to
everyone!
For those of you who missed Our Best Bits,
we've just uploaded a whole bunch of photos and other
information about the show on our brand new
Our Best Bits page.
For those of you who did see it - now you can relive the whole
experience from the comfort of your PC! And don't think
this is the end of Our Best Bits, not by a long shot.
There's already talk of taking the show to other venues and
continuing this new tradition for a very long time to come.
As always, stay tuned...

Best Bits after its opening performances at the Traralgon

miss the show in the Little Theatre, then worry not, as the show
will be travelling all over the valley in the near future.
