22.01.2022 MRS GILHOOLEY THE PSYCHIC HEN will read your future for $10. Compared to your average Economic Forecaster, she says, we astrologists look downright scientific.
22.01.2022 PLANET RECTANGULA'S FAVOURITE STAND-UP COMEDIAN, WAHOO (Pictured here with his interpreter) Our newest creation/creature, WAHOO had his 'world premier' this week. It was our first performance in three and a half months. So good to be 'trodding the boards' again.... I've been chomping at the bit to get back in front of an audience. See more
18.01.2022 GEARING UP FOR THE END OF THE PANDEMIC
14.01.2022 'OUR AMBROSE' the Yorkshire mole has given up digging all day for worms and has instead become a Worm Farmer. "They're very popular these worm farms, they are. Everybody's talkin' 'bout Global Worming."
14.01.2022 SELF ISOLATION: a time for the "THREE R's". Reading Rewriting Rehearsal
14.01.2022 Restoration work continues apace though the deadline of Saturday's Tumbarumba Agricultural Show is gone. The Show has been cancelled. {You can guess why.} Next Deadline is Sunday when we appear at the Imaginarta Puppet Centre at Sutton Forest in the Southern Tablelands. The 'new' Arlecchino is performing "TO THE RESCUE" at 11am the following Sundays: 22 March, 29 March and Easter Sunday 12 April Special Guest Appearance from "HAMLET the Wonder Dog"
14.01.2022 Arlecchino is repaired! (his original costume has been framed and will go to a museum) He's ready for tomorrow's performance at IMAGINARTA (Google it - it's a thing) The 11am show will go on! The following Sunday's too. Up to now we've had 18 performances cancelled. We're going to have a lot of free time for reading and working on scripts. KEEP WELL (and keep your distance)
10.01.2022 HERE I AM ALL BUNDLED UP FOR WINTER AND LOOKING A BIT IRISH I performed my COMMEDIA dell’ARTE show at a one of my favourite high schools this week. When I started going there I was in a double classroom. After a few years as the school grew, I performed in the gym to larger numbers. Then three years ago, a proper theatre was built and it was lovely. This year, due to social distancing, I was back in the gym. ... With 213 students stretched across the length and breadth of a rather large gym, I had to play to the widest sightlines I’d ever encountered. There’s nothing like a challenge first thing in the morning. See more
06.01.2022 As an optimist I've started planning for an eventual 'POST-CORONAVIRUS COMEBACK', despite the doomsayers who predict a Post-Coronavirus Recession. Remember, doomsayers surrounded Joan of Arc, too, but she went ahead and built it.
04.01.2022 I'm at last poking my head up above the Coronavirus barricades. With some library performances this month and a few agricultural shows lined up in February and March. Let's hope people continue to follow health guidelines. The future lies ahead.
03.01.2022 After several thousand performances, our hard-working puppet, ARLECCHINO, has gone in for some much needed repair and renovation. He’s on his third head and second body. But he’s still the original puppet, of course.
01.01.2022 Due to the Coronavirus Pandemic, all our public and private shows have been cancelled until some high school shows in June. We have been invited to perform at July’s MELBOURNE FESTIVAL OF PUPPETRY and so far it has not been cancelled. We’ll have to wait and see like everyone else. In the meantime with so much free time I am concentrating on comedy writing for our three newest characters, HAMLET THE WONDER DOG (not named for the Shakespearian character but for a small settlement), SHRAPNELLE (if we can get off her Social Media long enough) and WAHOO (a stand-up comedian from the planet Rectangula.) KEEP HEALTHY and as our Cockney Security Bulldog always says on his rounds, You can look but don’t touch nuffing!
