May       

4th May 2012  Auditions for Youth drama classes and show(s)             

Drama classes and rehearsals for youth group.

Very important to the health of the club. Mary Gray has a good group in place and they come to the fore when a musical is in production. I would also like to see a Youth Club organized with a club-night held on the (say) last Friday night of each month. Fun, food and a few drama experiments, all combined to make the evening an eagerly anticipated event.

Auditions for LADIES NIGHT

June

 THE INTRICATE ART OF ACTUALLY CARING - Saturday 9^th June @ 8pm

Funny, poignant and moving, The Intricate Art of Actually Caring is the story of two young guys on a road trip that becomes a spiritual journey to James K. Baxter's grave.

Mixing music, drama and comedy, Intricate Art uses the poetry and myth of James K. Baxter to look at what it means to be a Kiwi bloke.

 

Classes and rehearsals for Youth group  continue.

July

 JOHN LENNON AND ME July 18^th – 21^st @ 8pm

 JULY sees the production of the youth group’s wonderful play “John Lennon And Me.”

If interest is as great as we hope there will be a second production called “White Noise” to take up the numbers. Both plays are very special and will appeal to absolutely every one of all ages.

The Challenge

August 23 – 25 @ 8pm

September 6 – 8 @ 8pm

Teams of 4 people will be given a situation and a required line of dialogue to be included in a play written and performed by each team. They will only have two weeks to do so.  It is intended to create a competition between PLOC, OSPA and Waiuku with a Grand Final of the best and most successful plays to be adjudicated by a top NZ celebrity.

This is a wonderful way to introduce new members and to encourage them into full participation in all of the club’s activities.

Schools will also be invited to become involved.

September
