glen street theatre season 2012
welcome to 2012 at glen street “I regard the theatre as the greatest of all art forms, the most immediate way in which a human being can share with another the sense of what it is to be a human being.” Oscar Wilde I always take great delight in attending shows at Glen Street Theatre. It is one of the Council’s assets where people come together to share the experience of a live performance in a comfortable, intimate setting. As the Mayor of Warringah it is my great privilege to welcome you to the 2012 Season. It is one that can best be described as fun, intelligent, thought provoking and highly acclaimed. The season opens with the return of the brilliant Miriam Margolyes with Dickens’ Women. This is followed by Every Single Saturday – a sporting musical that those who spend time on the side of a sports field will identify with. Bangarra Dance Theatre also returns to Glen Street with their internationally acclaimed production of earth & sky. If you enjoyed Codgers during 2008, then you must see the World Premiere season of Biddies. As a special event, I am very fortunate to announce that Darren Coggan will be back on stage with his acclaimed production of War Stories for four performances only. Given how quickly his last show sold; make sure you don’t miss out on what promises to be a sell out event. Next in line is the sensational production of Shifting Sand by internationally renowned Australian group TaikOz.
Next is the anticipated new comedy Stop. Rewind. followed by Critical Stages’ exceptional drama, The Flood. Last but not least is the fabulous The Wharf Revue – a popular favourite with our patrons. This year the music season, Music at the Glen, boasts nine concerts with a delightful mix of musical genres. A highlight will be our local resident Tom Burlinson with his new show, Now We’re Swingin’. As you read through the brochure, let the magic and mystery of each production unfold. Be inspired to subscribe or at the very least, purchase tickets for one or two of these wonderful shows. Join in sharing an interesting and entertaining mix of first class productions from Australia’s major producers. The 2012 season is very exciting and it reflects your feedback about what you would like to see and hear at Glen Street Theatre. Please come along and experience your local theatre while being provoked, amused and charmed in our unique location in Belrose. Michael Regan Mayor of Warringah

dickens’ women 3 – 12 february Following sell-out performances in 2007, BAFTA®-award winning actress Miriam Margolyes returns to Australia for an encore national tour of her one-woman tour-deforce, Dickens’ Women. Bringing to life twenty-three of Charles Dickens’ most affecting and colourful female (and male!) characters, Margolyes presents her powerful, hilarious, and at times shocking exposé of Dickens, his writing, and the real-life women who were the influence for the characters in his novels. Join in the worldwide celebrations for Charles Dickens’s 200th birthday with a very special performance on 7 February. This will be a Glen Street exclusive with a party after the show to celebrate the actual birthday of this literary genius. Don’t miss your chance to see this acclaimed actor in the role she was born to play.

every single saturday 15 – 26 February Laugh out loud with this musical comedy about four parents whose only common ground is the football field where their kids play Every Single Saturday. Meet Neil, an aloof orchestra conductor, unaccustomed to the pressures of being a father to his estranged son; Sandy, a harddriven working class fitness freak trying to avoid her struggles at home; Liz, a welleducated North Shore mum trying to rebuild her life as a single parent and the team’s coach, Carlo, an Italian soccer dad reliving his days as a former sports hero. Follow their sideline dramas as the junior team goes nowhere fast until Neil’s son, the talented Becks, arrives. Featuring more than a dozen original songs, dazzling dancing, plenty of laughs and a few tears, this heart-warming, inspiring, poignant and romantic new Australian musical comedy celebrates the pain and the passion - the oranges and the lemons - of being a parent on the sidelines. After all, that’s where the real action is!

bangarra returns to Glen Street for the first time since the sell-out season of true stories in 2009
of earth & sky 28 march - 1 april Spectacular. Original. Evocative. Don’t miss these two works inspired by old and new stories in this theatrical fusion of dance and visual arts. Commissioned by Bangarra’s Artistic Director, Stephen Page, of earth & sky features the work of celebrated choreographer Frances Rings and the talented Daniel Riley McKinley. Artefact by Frances Rings, is inspired by the dynamic between ‘man and object’. It honours Indigenous symbols of ancient and modern rituals that hold great spiritual meaning and connection to place. Riley by Daniel Riley McKinley, explores the cultural resilience of Indigenous Australians. It is a celebration of the life of Aboriginal photographer and film maker, the late Michael Riley, and his internationally acclaimed cloud photographs.
13
At the heart of Bangarra’s work is the inimitable soundscape and musical creativity of David Page, one of Australia’s most successful Aboriginal contemporary composers.

biddies 11 - 22 April After Codgers you told us it was time to hear from the ladies. So move over Codgers, here come the Biddies! Five ordinarily marvellous women find themselves back in their infants school classroom plying their knitting needles in a good old-fashioned session of ‘stitch and bitch’. Their confessions are frank, their rivalries intense and their jokes outrageous. They discover a common frustration with the limitations of being female and mature in a world still largely defined by men. Accidentally locked in the classroom, with nothing but ingenuity, Adora Cream Wafers and a bucket to get them through the crisis, unknown reserves come to the fore. Released from their own constraints, they rediscover their capacity to love, forgive - and take control. If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em! Men see their wives, adult children see their mothers, grandchildren see Nana, and the mature Australian woman sees herself. Some of our most beloved actresses bring this delightful new comedy to life and laughter on the stage. You’ll laugh till you cry. Vulnerable, feisty and in full bloom, these gals are everything ... except old!

war stories – a salute in story and song to the anzac spirit 1 - 2 may Inspired by his own family history, performer Darren Coggan connects us to an iconic part of our heritage. Personal and exceptional stories of Australians at war are woven into songs that provide an intimate perspective of the tales that have helped shape our nation. War Stories takes you on an insightful journey into the lives of the Australians behind the lines. We reminisce about the generation of women who stayed at home and kept the country running. We celebrate the mateship, humour and courage in the Gallipoli trenches. And we honour our Indigenous diggers, a story rarely told. Awarded Heritage Song of the Year at the 37th Golden Guitar Awards, Darren’s beautiful performance brings a warmth and integrity to the narrative. War Stories is a salute to the Australian spirit and how we find the strength to shine in the most intense and heart-breaking situations.

shifting sand 17 - 26 may A powerful evocation of the ocean’s many faces. Shifting Sand is a new work richly inspired by the beach and the ocean. From the delicate play of light on the surface of the sea to the raging fury of winter storms, TaikOz’s thunderous taiko drumming and dynamic movement seeks to capture the beauty, majesty and force of the ocean. ‘Taiko’ is the Japanese word for ‘drum’ and TaikOz is Australia’s leading taiko drumming group. A TaikOz performance is more than just the beating of drums: it incorporates a complete world of drumming, song and dance that harks back to ancient Buddhist and Shinto rituals. It is a reflection of contemporary musical life, irrespective of nationality. A TaikOz performance is not only for the ears and the eyes, but is felt throughout the entire body. It is a truly visceral experience.

stop. rewind. 3 - 14 july How well do you know the person at the next desk? Stop. Rewind. is a deft and recognisable comedy with heart that begs the question: is it too late to live the life you’ve always wanted? As a disparate group of co-workers at a departmental office struggle to hold onto their dreams, we glimpse the series of compromises that has led each to their place in this eclectic community. Trevor is worried he’s wasted his life. Dim wants to be a musician but he’s been in this ‘temporary’ admin gig for thirteen months now. Heather is perfectly all right, except for being too old and fat to ever have sex again. Tabitha is fine with having sex, only it’s with her married co-worker Grant. And Nina’s trying to hang on to her family home without the help of her couch potato philosopher husband.
21
Life continues at its painfully familiar pace until a catastrophic event in the department forces everyone to examine their own lives, what they want, and what they are really prepared to sacrifice to get it.
p21
the flood 4 - 15 september The sheep farm is now dilapidated. The farm house, once magnificent, sits dark and squalid by the river, sheltering a mad old lady and her isolated, hard-drinking daughter. The memories are seeping through the floorboards and as the sun sets, the flood waters rise. In the wind and rain, the screen door bangs open and Catherine appears: she has returned home from London. A mother is now trapped in the house with her two estranged daughters; one who takes care of her, one who has been away for twenty years. The mesmerising friction between the bereft sisters explodes during a sleepless and alcohol-fuelled night as memories of their dead father surface. Memories which their mother either can’t or won’t remember. This arresting production expertly plunges into a world of dark humour, suspense and intrigue as a web of family history unravels in the haunting Australian outback.

Once more, you can be sure the Revue will be packed full of its trademark up-to-thesecond satire of contemporary politics and popular culture, which has made the show such a hit year after year.

He will also perform songs made famous by super cool swingers of the current era including Harry Connick Jr, Michael Bublé and Robbie Williams. Tom’s show includes the greatest songs from the era of swing, including Sway, Just in Time, Beyond the Sea, L-O-V-E, Birth of the Blues, The Way You Look Tonight, Ain’t That a Kick in the Head? and Feeling Good. “This music is, to a degree, timeless,” says Tom.
