‘When we are married’ is a 1938 play by the English novelist J B Priestley who was famous for ‘An Inspector Calls’ and suing Graham Greene for defamation. Priestley despised the conceit and duplicity of the Edwardian middle classes, and this play was a tongue in cheek attack at them. Presented in the Limelight Theatre, Civic Drive, Wanneroo, the two and a quarter hour play starts at 8.00 pm.

Hi Everyone,

Hoping to put the feelers out to community theatre and muster up some votes for a short film I co-wrote and star in called UNWANTED FRIEND that has made it to the 16th Finalist competition in Tropfest 2012. Both myself and Sean Hawkins are WA lads and the rest of the cast and crew are WAAPA grads. We are currently in competition with a fair few celebrities and need to get as much support as possible so we can make the final. We are up against 9 other films, so we are extremely close to making it through. You can vote everyday per device!

At the comedy's core is Barney Cashman, a middle-aged owner of a successful seafood restaurant, married nebbish who wants to join the sexual revolution before it's too late. A gentle soul with no experience in adultery, he thinks his marriage no longer provides him with a sense of romantic adventure but fails in each of his three seductions:
• Elaine Navazio, a sexpot who likes cigarettes, whiskey, and other women's husbands who has been an hot blooded customer of his restaurant aged 35 – 50ish
• Bobbi Michele, an actress friend who he discovers is madder than a hatter; and a pot smoking beauty who has failed at any attempt at an acting career. Aged 25 – 30ish
• Jeannette Fisher, his wife's best friend, a staunch moralist. Possibly the most depressed prozac pooping women on the planet also 30-50ish

I have three one act plays that I would like to have workshopped to see if they are fit for performance. I was hoping someone might know of a theatre group that would be interested in working with me to develop these scripts. Are there groups in Perth that do this? Is there a cost involved? I would really appreciate any information you can give me.

My Parents say that I should be in a BP (The gas station or company that has to do with gas) commercial beause I was had a BP card on my forehead and taking goofy pictures. So i really thought about it and said "Hey! why not give it a shot!" So here I am now asking if any one knows if BP is holding any kind of commercial adutions? If you have any info on it, please please please tell me,and I would be so so so so so so so so thankful.

Written by Carlos Goldini. Re-Written by Nick Enright and Ron Blair.

Director:
Carla Moore

Details:

Goldoni is made grouse in this colourful and riotous comic masterpiece. Truffaldino doesn’t really think through the problems inherent in having two bosses – especially when they’re unaware of each other’s presence and desperate to get back into each other’s pants. Our hero reckons he’s found a way of increasing his coin and food income on his labour. Or, as he puts it: “two masters, two wages, two dinners – too right!”

After getting a divorce from C.K. Dexter Haven, Tracy Lord prepares to marry again… however, in the days before her wedding, Haven and a reporter, posing as her brother’s friend, show up at her doorstep. From there, Tracy is forced to choose among her past love, her present love and her new love. Amidst the situation comedy, and fast-paced dialogue, Barry explores several contemporary social issues, such as society’s perception of class differences in America and attitudes towards adultery and divorce in the 1930’s.
