The hotel (and its toaster) proves to be as dysfunctional as its occupants.  As a storm traps the guests in the hotel\, they come to discover what they really want\, or perhaps need\, out of life. \nCharacters: \nAll ages are very approximate stage ages \nNigel: A hotel clerk (30s to 40s). Ability with physical comedy a plus. Nigel is nonchalant rather than welcoming; querulous rather than patient. He hasn’t a pen for guests to sign the register\, but questions the effectiveness of using a pencil. \nJohn: Guest (40s +)\, wants to leave the town and start a new life and is in some emotional stasis at the start of the play. He is a man alone\, and if not content with that\, at least without hope that anything will change. \nRoy: Travelling salesman (50s +). Appears confident\, but his life is currently a bit lost and he wants to recapture his golden years. He is divorced with a grown-up son.\nRoy arrives at the hotel and meets someone from his past or are they? \nAlice: Guest (50s +).  She is waiting to move into her new life. \nMrs Spence: Nigel’s mum (60s-70s). Her daffiness and mothering conceal a broken heart. \nTom: Guest & Ellen’s husband (late 20s-30s) They’ve been together since they were kids\, and they’ve come from interstate to the hotel to try to renew their relationship. \nEllen: Guest & Tom’s wife (late 20s-30s) Like Tom she may not want the life she is in. \nTo book an audition time\, please contact John Graham at contactstirlingplayers@gmail.com.

Selznick has a problem: his massively hyped production of “Gone With The Wind” is bleeding big money\, the script is unfilmable\, he has fired the director and the production has been shut down. Disaster looms! He needs a new script and a new director now! \nWith renowned screenwriter Ben Hecht (who hasn’t read the book) and celebrated director Victor Fleming (already up to his eyeballs in directing “The Wizard of Oz”)\, and a diet of bananas and peanuts\, he locks the group in his office for five days to create a screenplay that will save the film. Filming the burning of Atlanta is easier than this! \n“It’s a blend of lively nonsense and a tribute to the golden years of Hollywood moving making\, with over-sized egos and larger than life personalities\,” explains director Harry Dewar. “Based loosely on the real difficulties that the film faced in 1939\, it’s an insight into what might have happened to get one of the greatest movies ever made up onto the screen.” \nFrankly my dears\, you must see this play!!

Book by Nick Enright Original Production by Ben Gannon and Robert Fox \nCreative Team: DIRECTOR: Selena Britz\nMUSICAL DIRECTOR: Jane Feast\nCHOREOGRAPHER: Carmel Vistoli \n\nThe Boy From Oz is the most successful Australian musical ever and the first to make it to Broadway. It is a musical biography/tribute to the late great Peter Allen. Peter Allen was born in the outback Australian town of Tenterfield in 1944. He made his entertainment debut at the age of 5 impersonating Al Jolson. As a teenager he became a pop star and then toured Asia. There he met Judy Garland who took him to London where he met and become engaged to her daughter Liza Minnelli. In the US Peter enjoyed the highs of success by winning an Oscar\, selling out performances in Radio City Music Hall\, and receiving adulation when he returned to Australia. There were also plenty of lows … breaking up with his wife\, staging a Broadway flop\, the death of his partner and his own battle with illness. Peter Allen had an extraordinary life which producer Ben Gannon realized had the potential to become a magnificent musical and with Robert Fox they turned it into the smash hit it became. \nThe Boy From Oz is a class above all other ‘jukebox’ musicals. The late Nick Enright skillfully weaved his plot around the life and complexities of Peter Allen. The songs and lyrics sit easily with the rhythm of the piece and with the characters as they enter and re-enter his life\, be they dead or alive. It leaps\, as does Peter himself\, from past to present and back to past all within the familiar context of one of his energy-packed concerts. \n\nInformation Session: 03/06/2024\nMaylands Church of Christ Hall\, corner Portrush Road and Nora Street Maylands at 7:45 pm \n\nAudition Information: TRYBOOKING \n\n\n\nAudition Information #:0\n\n\nDate:\n16/06/2024\n\n\nTime From – Time to:\n2:30 pm to 10:00 pm at Maylands Church of Christ Hall\, corner Portrush Road and Nora Street\, Maylands\n\n\nAudition Information #:1\n\n\nDate:\n17/06/2024\n\n\nTime From – Time to:\n7:30 pm – 10:00 pm at Maylands Church of Christ Hall\, corner Portrush Road and Nora Street\, Maylands\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\nCharacter Descriptions #:0\n\n\nRole Name:\nPETER ALLEN (Male)\n\n\nGender:\nMale\n\n\nStage Age:\n30\n\n\nRole Information:\nThe great Australian entertainer\, singer\, songwriter\, and dancer.

Book by Nick Enright Original Production by Ben Gannon and Robert Fox \nCreative Team: DIRECTOR: Selena Britz\nMUSICAL DIRECTOR: Jane Feast\nCHOREOGRAPHER: Carmel Vistoli \n\nThe Boy From Oz is the most successful Australian musical ever and the first to make it to Broadway. It is a musical biography/tribute to the late great Peter Allen. Peter Allen was born in the outback Australian town of Tenterfield in 1944. He made his entertainment debut at the age of 5 impersonating Al Jolson. As a teenager he became a pop star and then toured Asia. There he met Judy Garland who took him to London where he met and become engaged to her daughter Liza Minnelli. In the US Peter enjoyed the highs of success by winning an Oscar\, selling out performances in Radio City Music Hall\, and receiving adulation when he returned to Australia. There were also plenty of lows … breaking up with his wife\, staging a Broadway flop\, the death of his partner and his own battle with illness. Peter Allen had an extraordinary life which producer Ben Gannon realized had the potential to become a magnificent musical and with Robert Fox they turned it into the smash hit it became. \nThe Boy From Oz is a class above all other ‘jukebox’ musicals. The late Nick Enright skillfully weaved his plot around the life and complexities of Peter Allen. The songs and lyrics sit easily with the rhythm of the piece and with the characters as they enter and re-enter his life\, be they dead or alive. It leaps\, as does Peter himself\, from past to present and back to past all within the familiar context of one of his energy-packed concerts. \n\nInformation Session: 03/06/2024\nMaylands Church of Christ Hall\, corner Portrush Road and Nora Street Maylands at 7:45 pm \n\nAudition Information: TRYBOOKING \n\n\n\nAudition Information #:0\n\n\nDate:\n16/06/2024\n\n\nTime From – Time to:\n2:30 pm to 10:00 pm at Maylands Church of Christ Hall\, corner Portrush Road and Nora Street\, Maylands\n\n\nAudition Information #:1\n\n\nDate:\n17/06/2024\n\n\nTime From – Time to:\n7:30 pm – 10:00 pm at Maylands Church of Christ Hall\, corner Portrush Road and Nora Street\, Maylands\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\nCharacter Descriptions #:0\n\n\nRole Name:\nPETER ALLEN (Male)\n\n\nGender:\nMale\n\n\nStage Age:\n30\n\n\nRole Information:\nThe great Australian entertainer\, singer\, songwriter\, and dancer.
