Stanthorpe Little Theatre is delighted to be hosting a talent show for stars aged from 5 to 18, with two separate age sections; 10 years and under and 11 to 18 years. Acts can be solo, duets or small groups.
As this will be presented and ‘judged’ ( using scripted supportive and encouraging feedback) by children under 18, we are also seeking 5 actors to play the parts of audience liaison, presenter, and 3 judges.
There will be two auditions, Tuesday 29th May and Thursday 31 May from 4 pm to 6 pm. Participants will be asked to participate in a voice warm up, a short movement activity and theatre styled game before presenting their ‘talent’. Participants are encouraged to come to both audition dates, should they wish. Actors auditioning only for the judge and presenter roles will be auditioned first.
Parents and supporting adults are invited to be part of the audition audience but respectfully asked to be encouraging and non-judgemental.
Acts do not need to be completely polished ( can have room to improve or learn lines/ expand on) or have costumes at auditions. A willingness to participate, practice and improve their act is a must.
Bring props or costumes if you like, but these can be put together as the rehearsal is going on. For dance auditions, bring own music and way to play it ( CD player).
Rehearsals will be scheduled so that specific acts can practice with the director and cast are not sitting around doing nothing.

Summit Estate Winter Solstice -Thulimbah

Summit Estate Winter Solstice Saturday 23 June, 2018

We start at 4 pm and by 5pm we are watching the sun slip below the horizon serenaded by bagpipes. A bonfire is lit as we enjoy some Summit Estate good cheer on the shortest day of the year. As it gets cold we drift inside to the cellar door to enjoy antipasti and live music. We all hail the pig that has been on the spit since midday as it is paraded around for all to see.
After some food and dancing we rug up and step outside into the cold night under the Milky Way. The Wickerman looms large made of the previous vintage’s canes. The Wickerman makes a spectacular fiery exit up into the heavens and our new Vintage is safe. Bookings required.
