24.01.2022 Hobo Playhouse Actors’ Studio aims to run two courses in Term 1, 2021, COVID restrictions permitting. They are: - An Introduction to Method Acting for beginners and actors who want to do a refresher at the Maldon Neighbourhood Centre on Sundays from February 28-April 18 from 1pm-3pm. It will include a range of method exercises to explore sensory and emotional memory, improvisations, personalisation, creating a backstory, script analysis and working on a monologue or a scene.... The course runs for eight weeks and the cost is $150 adults/$120 concession. Limited to six people. - Scene Study sessions will be held on Thursdays from March 4-April 22 from 7.30pm-10pm at Castlemaine Community House. Scene Study is for experienced actors who have previously performed in theatre/film productions or have completed the HPAS Introduction to Method Acting course. You are given a monologue or a scene, feedback is provided, you do further work on the scene during the week and then present it until you nail it. A range of method exercises and improvisations will be included as part of the warm up. The course runs for eight weeks, costs $150 adults/$120 concession. Limited to eight places. A COVID Safe plan will be in place for both courses. Please DM if you want to discuss either of the courses further. There are no auditions, first in best dressed.

19.01.2022 Hobo Playhouse was absolutely rapt to work with these two very talented creatives - Anne Southall, Course Coordinator Master of Inclusion and Diversity, and actor Adeline (Del) Johnstone on a La Trobe University education film shoot today. Thanks for turning up dressed in character Del (you nailed the look, the character and the performance) and big thanks to Ben, our filmmaker, for such a terrific shoot.

19.01.2022 Like other theatre companies, Hobo Playhouse has cancelled its upcoming film and theatre projects including our performance of a remount of Biting the Hand by Anne Southall in Bendigo in August. (Most of the cast are pictured here). But the Hobos will be back, bigger and better than ever, later in the year. Stay tuned! In the meantime our Artistic Director, Jeffrey Bryant Jones, is working online with local actors on their monologues. It’s a great way for each of us to keep our hand in and to stay connected. We’re aiming to bring some online content to you soon. Take care and stay well. From everyone at Hobo Playhouse :)

13.01.2022 Calling all actors ...

13.01.2022 The Global Reading of Sharaf At 5am this morning a wonderfully exciting theatrical experience was had. Eight creatives- actors, film makers a director and the ...writer met on zoom from all around the world, the USA, London, Egypt to have the first global read of a new Wolves play set simultaneously in Australia and an Arabic country. Written for an Iraqi Australian, a refugee from the first Gulf war, and exploring an honour killing, the play is an epic tragedy populated with poor people both from the country it is set in and USA. And it was fantastic. A long and dense play it had humour was, powerful, raw and engaging. It also avoided any clichés. Our plan now is to do a few more zoom rehearsals before attempting a global live read. The play is called Sharaf (Honour). Rohana Hayes Producer
