I think it's fair to say,  we all knew – committee,  cast,  me – that it was going to be a popular choice of material for an end-of-year show.  I would have had to have done something pretty drastic to have messed it up.  But during the later rehearsals,  a cast member commented that “die-hard fans” might not approve of what I had done, and it got me thinking: 
Would I alienate fans, with my Choristers?
Would integrating two episodes feel like – excuse the pun – some kind of sacrilege?
Would it bewilder audiences and confuse them, by shifting from present to past?

Damien, thank you for your many contributions to Beaumaris Theatre - we are very lucky to have you as part of our theatre community!

I am absolutely thrilled with the opportunity to play Gerry again, she has been with me all this time, ready and waiting for another round of Dibley shenanigans.

Introducing the cast of our November production of the Vicar of Dibley.

Being able to work on a character like Roy as an actor has been truly exciting. And honestly, the role of Roy has reinvigorated the essence of what I love about character work, portraying characters, and theatre - all of it really. I guess that is what happens anytime you are offered a truly great, well-written script – which in fact is what Cosi by Louis Nowra is.

It was a little over 3 months ago that I was given the opportunity to pitch a production to the Beaumaris Theatre Committee. A slot had opened up in the season, and I figured that I had just the production that could not only fill that spot but prove to be a wonderful addition to the 2022 Beaumaris season in its own right.

Introducing the talented cast of Cosi who will take to the stage this September.

Dan Bellis has been delighting Beaumaris Theatre audiences since 2016 and is a very valued member of the Beaumaris Theatre Committee. This year he takes on a new role, directing our September production of Cosi. We asked Dan to step into the spotlight so we can get to know him better.

All good fairy tales come to a happy ending and our spectacular production of Jack & the Beanstalk ~ a Pantomime is no exception.

Book your audition for this Aussie classic!

Louis Nowra’s vibrant play is set inside a psychiatric institution in 1971. Lewis, a young director, takes on the task of mounting a production of Mozart’s Cosi Fan Tutte in the burnt-out theatre. He becomes emotionally involved with his patients-cum-actors as his operatic production lurches forward and anti-Vietnam protests rage outside.
