About the Company:
ABitOnTheSide Productions was formed in 2010 and founded to produce ambitious, playful and challenging work in conjunction with contemporary theatre training and principles. The company was the brainchild of emerging artists, Felicity Nicol and Carolyn Eccles, a partnership which had been working together since 2007. They were equally driven by a hunger to perform with like-minded artists and to consolidate a supportive local community.
Along the way they picked up Nicholas Moore with whom they had worked during 2008/9 both individually and together with the Mudlove training troupe.
April 27th to May 8th will see the premiere of the company's first creative endeavour, a double bill production of Sarah Kane’s Crave directed by Felicity Nicol alongside the new devised work, Lot’s Wife, written and directed by Carolyn Eccles.
ABitOnTheSide Productions also has a strong education focus. Both adult and school's programs are currently being developed. For further information or to register your interest please see our website or contact one of our staff.

Big Brother heads Battle Royale and The Hunger Games in a sexy, tough and compelling new play by WAYTCo
The Western Australian Youth Theatre Company is putting 16 of Perth’s hottest young talent on stage in a remarkable play by Jane Bodie. Her play ‘This Years Ashes’ by Griffin Theatre Company won acclaim in 2011.
Set in a world of the near future these young people find themselves thrown together by forces beyond their control. Struggling to come to terms with their new situation, their captors encourage them to relax and socialise, but what are the reasons behind this most comfortable of prisons? Slowly they come to realise what they are meant to become – a revelation that tests them morally and ideologically.
WAYTCo welcomes back emerging director Renato Fabretti (DNA, October, Lord of the Flies) to work with the youth theatre ensemble and creative team to make this production unmissable. Fabretti, a WAAPA acting graduate and NIDA directing graduate has performed with many major theatre companies, and in Underbelly as the young gangster Chopper Read. His last production for WAYTCo, DNA, attracted big audiences and great reviews:
“Beautifully realised … with terrific direction and all-round excellent performances from the young cast”… The West Australian.
WAYTCo has produced remarkable talent in recent years – Tim Minchin and Clare Hooper stand out as success stories. The confidence and strength these actors achieve from involvement in WAYTCo productions help to prepare them for adult life, even if they don’t become celebrities.
MINE by Jane Bodie will be at the Subiaco Arts Centre from June 2nd previewing with a ‘pay-what-you-can’ night on June 5th before officially opening on June 6th. The production is on Wednesday to Saturday nights at 7:30pm until June 16th.
