  1. Macquarie Musical Society has announced First Date. Manly Musical Society has announced Jekyll and Hyde, and Nine. Engadine Musical Society also announced Big Fish for their October slot. Rockdale Musical Society is putting on Little Shop Of Horrors before The Little Mermaid. And don’t forget about Packemin with Shrek and Legally Blonde. Those are all the ones I noticed!

    • Thanks Sasha.
      FIRST DATE sounds like a great show for Macquarie Musical Society.
      Manly Musical Society and Engadine Musical Society don’t have those shows appearing on their website yet. Anyone got a link?
      We haven’t listed every show just 2 … so there will be nice surprises when you go to their site.
      Packemin is appearing now.
      Really great to have your input. What a year it’s going to be!

      • Manly and Engadine announced their productions on Facebook however I don’t believe they have updated their website. It’s going to be an amazing year! Can’t wait to get out there and see what shows come my way!

  2. Many thanks to the Association of Community Theatres for the following titbits. You can see their much valued What’s On in theatre in the suburbs and the country towns of New South Wales at their website. Where you can also register and receive their annual What’s On. It’s a great site for theatre people and their audiences.

    Notable trends in 2018.
    The most popular musical to be staged by members of The Association of Community Theatre is We Will Rock You – with six productions, followed by Shrek the Musical (4) and Rock of Ages (3).

    NSW Community Theatre premieres include Baz Lurhmann’s Strictly Ballroom the Musical, to be staged by the Willoughby Theatre Company.

    For plays, 2018 is sadly the final year of productions for The Genesian Theatre after 63 years in its historic Kent Street city venue. Details of their New Venue are expected to be announced later in 2018.

    Plays being staged this year include comedy, farce, Shakespeare, classics and international drama.

    The most popular Australian playwright in 2018 is David Williamson with four productions by member companies.
