Once again Steve Lane and Gwynn van den Bergen are organising a wonderful pantomime. Check out the poster ...  The Cast The Moonambel Community Theatre Company took the challenge of creating new directors in this production. Steve Lane stepped back into acting while Sanne Malkaer and Marnie Reece-Wilmore applied their skills to directing. Gwynn van den Bergen was once again a main director. The 3 plays were very different in their content but all entertained the audience. This is a new development in the Company and proved to be very successful.
TEMPTATION SORDID OR VIRTUE REWARDED Directed by Sanne Malkaer
Moonambel Community Theatre Company was invited to take part in the inaugural Midwinter Festival, an MEI event. Being a small but vibrant community, the theatre company was only too pleased to assist.
They helped to create the atmosphere of Steve Lane's original refrain by joining with the Pyrenees Chorale to walk lights towards the welcoming bonfire. While beautiful music filled the air hot air balloons were released into the night. Hopefully, the Festival will be repeated in the future.  The Moonambel Mechanics Hall had a weekend of celebrating the 80th Anniversary of 'new' hall. (The old one washed away in the floods of 1937!)
MCTC performed 'Its Raining At Lulubels's where we were entertained with an impression of how it must have been back then with the community coming together to build the hall we know today. Lots of music, comedy and entertainment as we were taken through the 4 years it took to build.  The local newspapers gave rave reviews for the MCTC pantomime 'Little Red Riding Hood'. The players once again showed their acting ability and had the audience wondering what was going to happen next. The main Characters...
Then there were these exta characters...

hard working team of performers until the next production. Congratulations Moonambel Community Theatre Company!
Watch this space for more information on the upcoming Moonambel Community Theatre Company production of the pantomime
'Little Red Riding Hood'. Same actors, different characters and a story you haven't seen before! Steve Lane puts a twist to the story telling things you didn't know happened in this traditional tale. Another production not to be missed. We were not successful in gaining the RAV grant
but we have gained a lot of insight and knowledge in how we wish to proceed with this ongoing project. Thank you to the townspeople for your enthusiastic support. The Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen's Guild Dramatic Society's Production of Macbeth
 The cast disguised using 'branches' from the Birnam Wood.  The talented cast: Steve Lane, Ruth Searle, Micheal Matthews (pianist), Gillian Matthews, Bernard Abadie, Sanne Malkier, Rachael Shapiro, Adam Donnison, Bella Henderson, Gwynn van den Bergen, Tanya Miles, Chris Sirre, Salli Argall, Graeme Akers and Jan Curtis. Photo: Ray Curtis  Steve Lane and Gwynn van den Bergen show their talents as performers as well as producing the whole variety show. Photo: Ray Curtis There were whole company songs, solos, groups and pairs. Sad songs, comical renditions and everything in between. Of course Micheal Matthews excelled as the company pianist. He performs more than any other cast member at the musical events. Once again we congratulate the whole company for their enthusiastic presentation of the performing arts to our small community.
