Four plays staged for Club Night

Four one-act plays will be staged by Woy Woy Little Theatre on its inaugural Club Night on Friday, August 15.

The plays are The Last Munro, Merge, Cluttered Nest, and A Really Useful Person

The Last Munro was the Little Theatre's entry in this year's Central Coast Theatrefest at Wyong.

It was directed by Penny Dilworth and Denise Main, staring Mike Jeffries, Judi Jones and Tyrone McMaster.

"Although we didn't win, the adjudicators gave very complimentary remarks," said Little Theatre secretary Ms Linda Williams.

American play Merge was also entered in the Theatrefest by long-time member Brendon Flynn.

He starred along-side Rose Cooper and won Best Production.

Cluttered Nest was written by Little Theatre member Joan Dalgliesh.

The group hopes to enter this play at Wyong next year.

A Really Useful Person is a multi-award winning play from this year's Short and Sweet Festival at Peninsula Theatre.

Written by Mike Jeffries, author of The Last Munro, it won best script, best actor, best production and best direction awards.

Among the actors on the night will be Sophie Stratton, who won the Little Theatre's $500 scholarship through its Youth in Performing Arts program.

Details will be announced on the night of the Little Theatre's 2009 season, which will see the number of productions increase from three to four.

Seats for the Club Night are still available.

Entry is by gold coin donation.

For bookings, phone Linda on 4344 1800 or Margaret on 4344 7624.

Ms Williams said the theatre was always looking for new talent and support.
