20.01.2022 Cessation of Rehearsals and Productions As most of you would be aware, The Premier and the Prime Minister both released statements last night and this morning about closing public venues and meeting spaces.... While some details are being worked out, the intent of their message is to stop unnecessary activities which may contribute to the spread the Covid-19 virus, including unnecessary travel and meetings, and to stop them from today. I've also spoken to the Manger of the Seven Hills Hub today and the venue will be closed up to the 30th June. In the light of this, Villanova Players has sadly ceased all rehearsals, monthly meetings and the performances of "Switzerland" and "An Ideal Husband" planned for May and June. We remain committed to both productions and will work hard to ensure that they do go on at a suitable time, once the restrictions on public gatherings make that possible. While it is disappointing and I respect the keenness of our members to keep things going, we need to listen to the advice of our Health professionals and take a serious break from activities which might spread the virus. During this difficult time, please stay safe, try to support each other from a safe distance and there are many activities which can help us come back stronger and healthier. Stay safe and wash your hands, Leo Bradley

17.01.2022 The cast and crew of "Switzerland" would like to thank Members, friends and family for supporting us through a very rocky and extended rehearsal period. We delighted Brisbane audiences with live theatre full of surprises, plot twists and turns. One of our best kept secrets was our second Patricia Highsmith played by Lucy Moxon. Thank you Lucy, you were simply marvellous. Photo: Christopher Sharman Publicity: Vivien Broadbent

08.01.2022 What Director Bruce Parr has to say about "Switzerland" by Joanna Murray-Smith. Be prepared to be tied up in knots when you enter the world of Patricia Highsmith, author of the novels featuring Tom Ripley, one of fictions most notorious career criminals of the twentieth century. Highsmiths literary agent in New York has sent Edward Ridgeway, an inexperienced young man, to try to persuade the abrasive author to write one last Ripley novel. Edwards chief and only qualificati...on for the job is that hes a fan of Highsmith. It becomes quickly clear that hes well out of his depth. He finds himself as a character in what could be a Ripley novel. But in a play where nothing is ever what it seems, Edward is soon caught up in a cat-and-mouse game where the ending is sure to be a bit messy. And what on earth is Highsmith doing in Switzerland? You will be gripped by the mystery to the very end. LIMITED PERFORMANCS! LIMITED SEATS PER SHOW!! COVID19 MEASURES IN PLACE!!!

06.01.2022 Remembering our past member and friend, Laurie Monsour. Lawrence Monsour passed away peacefully last week after a four year battle with cancer. He loved and supported his family, kids and grandchildren without limit, and gave so much to others during his life. He will be missed everyday but will be with us for ever. Under these exceptional times and circumstances, there will be no funeral for Laurie, apart from a small gathering for immediate family.
