On the Home Front – 5 Oct 2015

Winter is finally over and FAM rehearsals are under way for On the Home Front our ANZAC  inspired play. The play has evolved through the development stage following  last year’s preview performance with Q & A session at our local Bright RSL Sub Branch and now FAM will perform the play  at  Bright P-12 College Stadium, Monday 5 October, 12.30pm Community  members welcome – Gold Coin donation.

On the Home Front Fam Title

View scenes from the play http://vimeo.com/97214497

This original play by Pieta Swann BA (Educational Theatre), Grad Dip Ed  is about the experiences of three Australian women as their loved ones serve during WWI.

Using historical newspaper reports, songs, letters and poems the play reflects upon the start of the Great War in 1914 to the Gallipoli Campaign in 1915 when the ANZAC legend was formed.

The performance presents history in a dynamic way through the intermingling of historical facts, personal stories and engaging performers. It is designed to inform and inspire students’ (audiences’) imaginations.

While the subject matter of the play is aligned to the Australian National Curriculum outcomes for students in years 6 and 9 it is a wonderful opportunity to provide context to all students and community members for the ANZAC commemorations that will take place locally, nationally and internationally in 2015.

FAM Presents to Mount Beauty Probus Club

Its been so busy I forgot to thank the Mount Beauty Probus group for inviting me to speak a few weeks back.

They were warm and welcoming. I introduced my self as a “frustrated Thespian” hilarious thing was my mic technique wasn’t up to scratch, it cut out a little and a gentleman didn’t hear me correctly and thought I said I was a “frustrated lesbian!” Classic!

He has given me permission to use that story as my opener next time I present.

I noted a couple of frustrated Thespians among the the group I might add.

Thank you to Eleni Wood for the opportunity.

Writer Pauline Thompson’s character’s came to life in a way we, the cast and crew couldn’t have imagined. We were blown away by the enthusiasm of our audience. Truly a shared experience we will remember.
