24.01.2022 It’s getting closer so we need a set. Look Who’s Talking cast and crew get together on Sunday morning to make it happen.

24.01.2022 A message from the Mercury Theatre Wynnum executive committee: As most of you know public venues and meeting spaces are now closed in an effort to contain the spread of the COVID-19 virus. In light of this, Mercury Theatre Wynnum has ceased all rehearsals, monthly meetings and postponed the performances of "Look Who's Talking" and the 2 one-act plays "A Dog's Life" and "Husband Murderer's Support Group" planned for May and July.... We remain committed to these productions and will work hard to ensure that they do go on at a suitable time once the restrictions on public gatherings have been lifted. Dear members - please stay safe, wash your hands, try to support each other from a safe distance and we'll see you on the other side. Mercury Theatre Wynnum executive committee.

23.01.2022 AUDITION CALL: We are looking for 2 male actors and 3 female actors for our next play - Look Who's Talking - written by Derek Benfield, directed by Rosemary Thwaites, to be performed late March - April. "When two unexpected guests, Jane and Brian, drop in on Sheila and Andrew, a devoted middle-age couple, what ensues is a complicated and hilarious series of misunderstandings and mistaken identities as Sheila and Andrew begin to weave an elaborate web of lies and half-truths to hide their own possible infidelities." Auditions will be held this Monday 20th January, 7:30pm, at the Wynnum Community Centre, room 112, Florence Street, Wynnum. Please note: entry is from the rear of the building, the Charlotte St entrance. If you have any questions please call 0408-701-961.
