Welcome!

Welcome to the October blog and newsletter. If it's October it must only be a couple of weeks away from opening night for 'The Sound of Music'! I'm in the wonderful position of being able to see it from the audience on opening night, which I'm very much looking forward to. Just look at the cast photo here, it's going to be great! (Photo by Donna Fairall).

Don't forget that the children are double cast, as well as the role of Rolf, and that Fiona Stiles will have two nights off to sit at home in her PJs and eat ice cream out of a tub while her understudy Ursula takes on the role. So if you want to see a specific person, make sure you check out the cast schedule. You can also see some advance photos in the photo gallery just to get you in the mood!

Tickets are on sale now, via the Jetty Theatre Box Office on 0266484930 or online.
Scroll down to see the poster - and if you can, print it out and display it prominently somewhere!

Please contact the FOH Manager, Shalla Thomas if you would like to volunteer to usher for the show. Send Shalla an email.

Before the end of the year we will be auditioning for our first show of 2018, 'Seussical'. You can find out about the show on the 2018 Season page, and full information about the auditions is now available, including venue details. 

That's about it from me. Stand by for A Big Announcement about our 2018 program next month!

Show time is almost here!  

We are very excited for our November production of The Sound of Music and once again it is shaping up to be an amazing show.  I would encourage all of the CHMCC fans to get in early for your tickets because over 30% of available seats have already been sold.  Show dates are November 3-26 and all details, including the schedule for the children's performance dates, are available from the Jetty Theatre website. 

I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank Judi Williams our director, for her incredible dedication and commitment to this show.  She has experienced her fair share of challenges to date and has faced these with determination and even good humour! 

Our Junior committee has been working furiously to organise a summer workshop.  The dates for the workshop will be January 15-17 2018 to be held at the Toormina Community Centre. 
It will be for students of senior primary and high school ages. There will be workshops featuring dance, drama, music, makeup and is shaping up to be loads of fun. If you or someone you know might be interested, please direct any inquiries to: chmccjunior@gmail.com.

The Junior committee are also planning a production in September 2018 and are looking for adults who are interested in being on a production team.  Directors, choreographers, set design and stage management are the types of assistance they are seeking.  Again, if you are interested, please contact them at: chmccjunior@gmail.com.
I would like to encourage as much support as possible for our Junior committee - they are truly working hard and deserve the support of anyone who is willing.

Seussical the Musical Auditions will take place on December 9 & 10, 2017.  This is a fun show featuring the stories of Dr Seuss.  Please check out the audition page for casting details and keep this weekend free.

See you at the Jetty Theatre for The Sound of Music!

Well what a fabulous show we have lined up for everyone!!!

The cast are a mix of experienced and first time performers but they all share a dedication to the show which is awesome to witness.

For anyone who has not booked their tickets by now I suggest you get into the box office fast as all reports are that the show is already selling extremely well and I would hate for anyone to miss out because they didn’t book early. This was a real problem with our last fabulous show 'Wicked', so get in early folks.
 
For me this is a bittersweet production as this show was the first major musical that I  directed. My first time round instilled in me a joy for working with children and an appreciation of the great Rodgers and Hammerstein work.  The second time round is just as exciting and I can’t wait for the audience to react.
 
I must thank all the cast and the wonderful support I have received  from the company,  they have all done sterling work and the proof is in the pudding. We have a few surprises with the sets with something that hasn’t been used before in Coffs, so come along for a wonderful night of entertainment and support your local cast who have put in so much work.
 
See you there,


Judi
