Well, it’s all in the numbers really - three plays for the price of one!  - Three new directors, three one-act plays over eight performances, with a total cast of 11… confused? 

Don’t be, Watch Us Play is a true joint effort, a night of three, one-act plays linked by all the fun, frustration and frivolity of the theatre - enabling audiences to learn what is really going on behind the actor’s facade.  

This Is A Play by Daniel Maclvor, explores the actor’s inner monologue during a performance, contrasting what the audience sees with what the actors are really feeling. Directed by Lynn Stahlhut.

The Actor’s Nightmare by Christopher Durang, shows every actor’s fear of walking unprepared in front of an audience, when an accountant is mistaken for an actor’s understudy and forced to perform a play for which he doesn’t know any of the lines.  Directed by Natalie Creighton.

Boise, Idaho by Sean Michael Welch is a clever comedy. A couple at a cafe has their lives imagined - aloud - by a stranger at a neighboring table, as though he were the narrator of a novel. When the couple decide to play along, reality and fiction intertwine in amusing fashion.  Directed by Kitty Humble.

Watch Us Play opens August 19 at Capitol Theatre Tamworth and runs over eight performances, closing on August 28. There are evening and matinee performances available and a special schools’ performance on  August 25 at 11am.

The exquisite new stage adaptation of May Gibb’s Snugglepot & Cuddlepie arrives at Capitol Theatre on August 12 for two shows at 12pm and 6pm. 

Hailing from Soweto in Johannesburg, Soweto Gospel Choir brings together some of Africa’s finest singers at Tamworth Town Hall on August 21 at 5pm. The choir is one of the world’s greatest vocal ensembles.

Tickets for all these and more, are available online at entertainmentvenues.com.au, by phone on 6767 5300 or in person at Capitol Theatre Box Office, Ray Walsh House or the Golden Guitar.
