She Stoops to Conquer by Oliver Goldsmith
Burnside Players' first production for 2010 will be Oliver Goldsmith's 'She Stoops to Conquer', an 18th century comedy, directed by Damien White. In order to woo Charles Marlow, the son of a wealthy aristocrat, Miss Kate Hardcastle is forced into a plan which sees her posing as a barmaid. Add to this a practical joke played on Marlow and his friend Hastings, in which they are lead to believe that Kate's family house is an inn and her wealthy father the innkeeper, and numerous romantic subplots, all interspersed with the usual interference of the older members of the family, and hilarity ensues.

Matt Byrne’s politically erect Fringe comedy hit The Penis Principles is coming back by popular demand to Holden Street Theatres from April 9 to 11. After a terrific Fringe season writer/director Byrne has decided to bring the ballsy comedy cabaret show back for one weekend. “The show has legs and balls, we believe it can go a long way,” Byrne said. “And it has a serious side too. Men have to extract the digit and look after their health, this show could save your life.” Performances:Friday 9 & Saturday 10 April at 8 p.m. Sunday 11 April at 6 p.m.
$5 Discount to see the show! All tix are normally $25 but you can catch Matt Byrne's ballsy comedy cabaret show for just $20 if you book through VenueTix! The Advertiser called it: "Good clean Dirty fun!" Encore Magazine called it "Pun-tastic!" and it got five stars from the audience on Talkfringe! Seating is General Admission. When you call Venue*tix state the Pasword "BALLS" HARDENED CRITICS RAVE ABOUT“The audiences and the critics loved the show so we thought it would be great to bring it back for anyone who missed out,” Byrne said.“We had a tremendous response from men and women, who found out more than they bargained for about the way men think."Matt Byrne says it’s time men took “a long hard look at themselves.” “We’ve had Busting Out about Busts and Vagina Monologues about … ginas, now the time has come for the The Penis Principles about … pulls,” Byrne says.“Women want to know what men are thinking, well here’s their chance to find out.” The show co-stars Kim Clark, Rohan Watts and Matt Byrne and covers a multitude of sins and topics. “We tackle men’s equipment and hidden hang-ups with tongue in cheek, situation in hand and a song in our heart,” he says. “We examine everything from size, contraception and self satisfaction, to circumcision, toilet etiquette, and sperm count... which is a lot easier than counting sperm! And there’s a bunch of very funny songs about the problems caused by He Who Must Be Obeyed, with plenty of interaction with the crowd.” The show also promotes Prostate Cancer Awareness, encouraging patrons night to get a check up. We are already being lined up to do the State Prostate Cancer Conference in October. ADELAIDE TWO DAY SCRIPT TO SCREEN MASTERCLASS
Double AFI AWARD WINNING Actor/Writer/Director ANTHONY HAYES (Ten Empty, Look Both Ways, Suburban Mayhem and The Square) Invites you to spend an exciting two days with him and other industry luminaries SPECIAL GUEST TEACHERS INCLUDE
KIRSTY McGREGOR - Leading Film & TV Casting Director
DANIEL KRIGE - BAFTA Nominated Writer/Director All teachers will take the class for at least one full day "Anthony Hayes’ Ten Empty… impossible to dismiss for the actors’ intensity". Empire Magazine
April Thursday 15 & Friday 16 at Holden Street Theatres ....
TEACHERS Anthony Hayes, Daniel Krige, Kirsty McGregor
DAY ONE 10 am – 5 pm.Day one, your teachers Tony and Daniel will take you from script to audition. Working intensely with each teacher for half a day, you will learn how to interpret a scene, build a character and how to walk into an audition room being fully prepared and with absolute confidence. Your teachers have experience as actors AND directors, so know the best ways to calm down those audition nerves and also can guide you on what a director is looking for. By the end of the day you will take away a scene to prepare on your day ‘off’, using the techniques you have learned with Tony and Daniel. You will then ‘audition’ with Kirsty McGregor on day two of the course. DAY TWO. 10am - 5pmAt the beginning of day two, Kirsty McGregor will conduct a seminar for approx 1 hour, during which time you will have the opportunity to grill her with any questions about the casting process. You will then be taken through the audition process during which you will perform your scene prepared on your day off. Kirsty will offer feedback and direction and you will do the scene once, perhaps twice more (depending on how well you nail it!). The class will all be present during the audition process as we find you will learn as much from watching other people audition as you do during your time in front of the camera. SELF TESTING Kirsty will also talk to you about how to prepare and audition when you do not have the opportunity to be in the room with the casting director – whether it be because you have not been invited OR because you are interstate or overseas. At the end of the day, there will be a half hour re-cap, during which you can ask any still-lingering questions. COURSE ONE - THURSDAY 15TH APRIL AND SATURDAY 17TH APRIL 2010COURSE TWO - FRIDAY 16TH APRIL AND SUNDAY 18TH APRIL 2010 2 x 6 hour sessions with a day break in between to allow you time to prepare your Audition scene 16 Students per course.

On Guitar, Luke "Cherry" Ciaramella demonstrates a rare mastery of his instrument, especially for one so young... All four have shared the stage with world renowned artists including Don Burrows, James Morrison and Art Baron, and are influenced by the likes of John McLaughlin, Paul Desmond, Miles Davis and Paul Chambers. As well as Jazz Standards, The Mintons play original compositions which reflect the wealth and diversity of their Jazz and Soul influences. $10 entry and all door money goes to artists, so come on down and help support Adelaide's budding musicians!

Presented by Spin Youth Dance

Spin youth dance is a not for profit organisation formed to encourage excellence in young people aged between 10-18. This year SPIN celebrates its 5th anniversary with original and new members performing together. Act 1 TAP A cappella, Tap is a style with-out the aid of music comprising funky rhythms and riffs! Act 2 Journey Life is a Journey but some people go through life feeling unnoticed, unloved. If someone is different and defies what is classed as the norm they are classed as a loser. And when these people are gone they do not seem to leave even the simplest of legacies... Act 3 DO I OR DON'T I Why is it so hard to use the "L" word?! A word that is thrown around without care which can leave people hurt, scared and vulnerable. Think carefully before you use this word... DO I OR DON'T I? Performances Folly Bridge
Spotlight Theatre Company Inc is proud to present the intriguing play Folly Bridge by Kelvin Butcher during October 2009 in The Arch at Holden Street Theatres. What sort of a relationship was evolving when Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, the mathematics lecturer at Oxford University, took the three young Liddell girls, the daughters of Canon Liddell of Christ Church, on boating excursions and picnics along the Thames and then invited them to his rooms to take tea and dress up for photographs? Could it be that the creation of Alice in Wonderland by Dodgson, writing as Lewis Carroll, was an attempt to preserve the fond memories of those happy days when his attraction to Alice Liddell may have been a little more than mere friendship? These are the intriguing questions explored by South Australian playwright Kelvin Butcher in his fascinating play Folly Bridge to be presented by Spotlight Theatre at the Holden Street Theatres in October. In following the lives of Alice in her later years; Alice as a young woman, and Alice as a child; the play provides insights into the latent possibilities of her relationship with Dodgson. By cleverly introducing fictional characters from Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, the writer moves the play towards a climatic trial scene when Dodgson is called to account for his alleged actions by the Red King and his court. The comedic interpretations of the roles of the fictional characters relieve the dramatic tension but at the same time provide an effective device for highlighting the underlying seriousness of the play. For this is a serious play that touches on the sensitive question of relationships between adults and children. Warning: This play is not recommended for children of Primary School age. It contains adult concepts and some strong language. Preview: Thursday 1 October at 8 pm. Friday & Saturday, 2nd & 3rd, 9th & 10th October at 8 pm. Matinee: Saturday 3rd at 2 pm Bookings via Venue*tix on 8225 8888 or via Spotlight Theatre Company 0400 579 530 The Sunday Club at Holden Street!
