Get Real success

The recent performance of "Get Real!" at the Peninsula Theatre was a success, according to director Mr Terry Collins.

"Audiences of all ages responded to the timeless messages and terrific good fun portrayed in the show," Mr Collins said.

"We certainly loved performing it."

Production manager Mr Paul Russell said that "Get Real!" was the culmination of the creative process of the Mental Health Theatre Project.

The project included theatre skills classes, group scriptwriting workshops and rehearsal of a play with music based on the classic tale of The Velveteen Rabbit.

The project, now in its second year, brought together local theatre artists with the local mental health community.

The nine performances were complete with original songs by Lee Hardisty, choreography by Francoise Angenieux, and direction by Terry Collins.
