The Pitch at theatre

A play entitled "The Pitch" will be held at the Peninsula Theatre on Thursday, June 19, and Friday, June 20, from 8pm.

"The Pitch is a satire about trying to crack the big time in Hollywood," according to theatre marketing director Ms Lisa Kelly.

"Peter Hougton's show was critically acclaimed in Melbourne in 2006 and 2007 and was awarded two Green Room Awards for performance and for best new play.

"The Pitch is set in the very humble apartment of aspiring screenwriter Walter Weinerman just before he is about to sell his screenplay to an all powerful Hollywood film industry panel.

"We watch as Walter practices pitching his film concept.

"Walter's film pitch is a desperate effort, that involves him demonstrating all the roles that he hopes will be played by Hollywood's A-list actors, including a clenched teeth Clint Eastwood, a debonair Sir Anthony Hopkins and a scintillating Catherine Zeta Jones."
