‘Secret Bridesmaids' Business’ is a 1999 box office record-breaking, Australian comedy, penned by NIDA trained playwright, Elizabeth Coleman. Elizabeth, who recently turned 50, started by writing scripts for the ‘Flying Doctor’ TV series.

If you knew a secret that could shatter a bride’s dream the night before her wedding, would you tell? That’s the premise of the Old Mill Theatre’s first production for 2013, Secret Bridesmaids’ Business, written by Elizabeth Coleman and directed by Mary Wolfla.

Maybe I'm joking, maybe I'm not. Either way if you know what's good for you, you won't miss award winning writer Director, Jess Mess' next production--'The Standover Man.'

Smiling assassins, dead saints, awkward first dates, ruthless drug lords and live music...THE STANDOVER MAN is action-packed, beautiful and sublime. Besides if you don't book tickets, I'll send my boys around--and you won't like them when they're angry.

At first I thought I was in for another night of Shakespearean-Battle-of-the-Sexes which would have been dull to this reviewer but Paige Newmark's production of Much Ado About Nothing for Shakespeare WA offers much more.

Manly Musical Society presents RENT


Jonathan Larson

Hannah Courtney

Vibrant, edgy, and exciting, Rent is based on the glorious Puccini opera, La Boheme, a sumptuous, romantic, passionate feast for the senses set in 1840s bohemian Paris. Transported to 1980s New York, our innovative production will hark back to its artistic origins, allowing the eternal bohemian spirit that spans the ages to infect the stage with beauty and light.
