BRIGHT Theatre Company is preparing for its first opening night since 2020, with a collection of comedies about life, love and connection.
BTC production coordinator Carolyn ‘Cal’ Waddell said she was looking forward to returning shows to the newly refurbished courthouse this weekend and next.
“Our concept of old merging with new, ties together four separate plays,” she said.
“We've got a brilliant ensemble cast of eight actors all desperate to entertain.
“Please come help support our local theatre company and enjoy an evening of love, laughter, literature and life.”
The collection of comedies performed by BTC will feature;
- ‘Time Flies!’: a journey of two young lovers and an encounter which gives a whole new meaning to the phrase “life’s short”, as time waits for no one;
- ‘English made simple’: wordy practitioners are here to help us delve into the finer side of the English language and discover some helpful, and not so helpful, hints to explore love and connection;
- ‘Sure thing!’ With Bill and Betty: two strangers who meet in a cafe and whose conversation continually resets, allowing them to navigate multiple outcomes and humorous exchanges; and
- Words, words, words’: placing monkeys in a cage and expecting them to produce classic literature in 15 to 20 minutes is much the same as sending your child to school for a week and to return home with a degree in philosophy, however this is live theatre, miracles can happen.
All performances will begin at 7.30pm this Friday, September 13, Saturday, September 14, Thursday, September 19, Friday, September 20 and Saturday, September 21 with a matinee performance also on Saturday, September 14 at 2pm.
The shows will be held at The Bright Courthouse on Park Street, Bright.
