  • PERFORMER SPOTLIGHT: Sophora Cliff

    Can you tell us a bit about yourself and how you got started in theatre? Sophora: I got into theatre from a young age after being cast in my first ever role i na professional Christmas production of Toad of Toad Hall in the New Vic Theatre (in the round) in the UK when I was in primary school. It meant getting time off school and spending time with the adult cast; experiencing the scale of such a show cemented for me at that age that this is what I wanted to pursue! Did you undergo any formal or informal training? Sophora: Most of my days after school were taken up with choir, singing lessons, LAMDA acting lessons, and piano! I studied performing arts up to the age of 18 and then went to university to complete a Bachelor of Musical Theatre, Drama and Film. Can you share a particularly special or challenging project from your theatre career so far? Sophora: The first show I produced and performed during my time at university was particularly special. I won a grant to create the show, which meant that meant that once we had performed it in the university theatre, we could transfer into the City of Bath Theatre, which was incredibly challenging due to the scale, but also very rewarding! Are you working on any shows at the moment? Sophora: I am working on our upcoming A Night at the Musicals, which is the end of April at the Ron Hurley Theatre, with my amazing team! And our wonderful cast will start rehearsing in the upcoming weeks. I am really looking forward to seeing everything we have planned come into fruition. Are there specific types of roles or theatre genres you find most rewarding or challenging? Sophora: I often think comedy is more challenging to pull off in a production than dramatic. It is also really rewarding when you get the laughs and know the choices you or the show made have landed well and have given people that enjoyment! How do you approach collaboration with directors, fellow actors, and the production team? Can you share a positive collaboration experience that stood out to you? Sophora: Producing the first A Night at the Musicals by myself was a lot to take on when I also work a full time corporate job. So when I knew I wanted to continue this venture, I brought in a more permanent team to help me grow the show. That experience of getting to bounce ideas and to have back-up in the decision-making has been so much more enjoyable and has elevated the show beyond what I could have done solo. Are there specific goals or roles you aspire to achieve in the future? Sophora: I would love to continue working on growing A Night at the Musicals. There is a lot more we can do with the formula of this concert and see how far we can take it! What advice do you have for individuals aspiring to gain a role in a stage show? Sophora: I heavily thought for many years that performing, whether it be stage or screen, was going to be my full-time career, and it was all I dreamt about. The reality of graduating and getting a job, then stressing about where the next paycheck would come from, hit me harder than I thought. After a particularly big letdown that I had my heart set on, I decided to travel! Fast forward to now and I work a full-time corporate job in Australia. I had lost some of my passion for the industry, but then doing some community theatre shows reignited that passion and led to me bringing A Night at the Musicals to Brisbane, 13 years after I did it at university! There aren't many paid performing opportunities if you decide to take another career path as your income, or if you are in your 30s and enter the realm of being too old for some roles and too young for others... or if you are a terrible dancer... So my advice is, it is more than achievable to create a platform so that you and others can do what you love while letting it fit into whatever path your day to day life leads you!

  • REVIEW: "The War of the Worlds - The Lux Radio Play" - New Farm Nash Theatre presents: A Night of Science Fiction

    Embarking on my first venture into the realm of radio theatre, I felt like a curious explorer discovering a forgotten treasure trove of storytelling. As a millennial with no prior exposure to this vintage art form, I was both intrigued and excited by the prospect of experiencing a performance that relied solely on the power of sound to ignite the imagination. Originating in the 1920s, radio plays swiftly rose to prominence as a leading form of international entertainment by the 1940-50s, captivating audiences at home with their immersive storytelling. Presented by New Farm Nash Theatre, "The War of the Worlds - The Lux Radio Play" offered an immersive journey into the world of science fiction. The cast was brilliantly chosen, showcasing versatile talent that transported viewers back to 1955 from the moment they stepped on stage. Each cast member embodied their multiple roles with aplomb. The flawless execution of Hollywood's transatlantic accent, particularly from Ella Bromback, added an authentic touch, complemented by exquisite emerald green period costumes that evoked the glamour of the era. The evening began with "The Day the Earth Stepped Sideways," a comedic play exploring the whimsical concept of traversing alternate universes, similar to that of ‘The Midnight Library’, ‘Rick and Morty’, and ‘Loki’ for my younger readers. The comedic banter was sharp and witty, effortlessly eliciting laughter from the audience. The play explored themes of mother-son dynamics, the pursuit of knowledge, and the unpredictable nature of choice. Each moment presented an opportunity for characters to venture down new paths, continually stepping sideways into a myriad of bizarre and amusing realities, from a whimsical land where communication with birds reigns supreme, to a world where rhyming is the language of the day, to a chase scene through a tap-dancing society. Interspersed with real radio advertisements for 'Lux' products from 1955, we transitioned smoothly into "The War of the Worlds," based on the classic 1953 film, where the audience found themselves thrust into the midst of a Martian invasion. For me, some standout performances were John Mann's commanding presence, Petra Donnison's flawless execution of multiple accents, and Lara Latham's embodiment of every character they portrayed. One of the production's most impressive features was its use of sound effects, masterfully crafted by the skilled foley artists stationed at the back of the stage: Rob Crook, Hazel Newman, and Mark Corben. With a myriad of physical objects at their disposal, from metal sheets and fake doors to balloons and rubber gloves, they brought the auditory landscape to life with remarkable precision. Personally, I momentarily closed my eyes to immerse myself fully in the auditory journey, vividly envisioning each scene with remarkable clarity, despite never having seen the 1953 film. “The Lux Radio Play" is a captivating homage to the golden age of radio drama, skilfully brought to life by New Farm Nash Theatre. With its impeccable performances, ingenious sound effects, and nostalgic charm, this production is a must-see for aficionados of timeless storytelling. NOW PLAYING UNTIL MARCH 23, 2024 TICKET LINK

  • REVIEW: "Big Yikes" at Brisbane Powerhouse by Playlab Theatre

    A Millennial Reflection on the Turbulent Transition to Adulthood Millennials and Gen Z assemble because this is the show for us! ‘Big Yikes,’ presented by Playlab Theatre at the Brisbane Powerhouse and penned by the insightful Madeleine Border, delved into the chaotic realm of post-high school existence with unfiltered honesty. The audience was mix of young adults, and as the show began, a sense familiarity immediately washed over me. Juliette Milne's portrayal of Loxie, the protagonist navigating the daunting journey from adolescence to adulthood, was anchored by her unwavering commitment to the character. Despite initially feeling intimidated by the prospect of remaining onstage throughout the entire production, Milne expressed much excitement at the opportunity to originate a character in an new Australian production. The laughter that constantly rippled through the theatre was both cathartic and validating. As Loxie stumbles through her first job as a kitchen hand at a café – also my first job – her mishaps, from spilled drinks to burnt coffee and panic attacks, left me nodding in recognition. Even if those specific incidents don't resonate with you, fear not. Loxie's journey also encompasses struggles with navigating social interactions, dealing with demanding customers, complexities of divorced parents, encountering fake friends, coping with stressed-out supervisors, anxiety from university decisions, getting drunk on $5 wine, late-night calls to mum for a ride home, enduring conversations with overly talkative strangers on public transport, and the awkward apologies following romantic rejections – a collective "YIKES!" moment indeed. Amid Loxie's tumultuous journey, 'Big Yikes' masterfully weaves relatable moments and profound insights. From the realisation that “not everyone is gonna like you, and vice versa,” to the humorous musings of “I don’t have time for domestic duties anymore, I’m a working girl!” — each line serves as an illustration reflecting the nuances of modern life, including the cost-of-living struggles. But as Loxie grapples with the complexities of adulting, she encounters wisdom in unexpected places too — “I’m going to find my calling, by not finding my calling,” a reflective reminder that growth often arises from discomfort. The versatile trio of Billy Fogarty, Tenielle Plunkett, and Christopher Paton, comprising the supporting cast, seamlessly shifted between roles, bringing a kaleidoscope of characters to life. Their interactions with Loxie underscored the multifaceted nature of young adulthood, where every encounter can shape our journey of self-discovery. The uncomplicated set design, paired with innovative projections and lighting techniques, provided a dynamic backdrop for Loxie's story. Scenes transitioned smoothly; enhanced by witty lines projected onto the set, such as 'If you can’t afford medication… try meditation.’ The Q&A session following the performance offered insight into the creative genesis of the production. Playwright Madeleine Border shared her inspiration behind the play, citing the noticeable absence of representation for the daunting transition from high school to university within the realm of theatre. Notably, 'Big Yikes' demonstrated a commendable commitment to inclusivity. Gender-neutral characters, names, and pronouns were intentionally integrated into the storyline. This approach ensured that the production resonated with a diverse audience, amplifying its impact and relevance. In essence, ‘Big Yikes’ serves as a mirror reflecting the joys and tribulations of modern youth. With its blend of humour, heart, and authenticity, it invites audiences to laugh, reflect, and empathise with the universal journey of growing up.

  • PERFORMER SPOTLIGHT: Rhea Basha

    Can you tell us a bit about yourself and how you got started in theatre? Rhea: Of course! I am Rhea, I have an adorable dog, and I just finished my Masters of Clinical Psychology. I actually fell into musical theatre by accident. My first show was in 2022, after I spontaneously auditioned for 'Little Shop of Horrors' with the Savoyards. I had no real musical theatre experience before (excluding a school musical or two in primary school), and the main reason I auditioned was because I was procrastinating writing a thesis. After scrolling through FaceBook, I saw this random audition opportunity, decided to audition for one of the urchins, and I was lucky enough to get in--from there, it's been impossible to stop! Did you undergo any formal or informal training? If so, where and how did it shape your skills? Rhea: I did take singing lessons in high school, which was super valuable for both learning about my voice and also helping me grow in terms of confidence. However, there were two other things that were pivotal in shaping my skills: The Queensland Theatre Company's Youth Ensemble. I was very blessed to be part of their production of 'Hamlet', and it was simply amazing to work with these directors who were so passionate and knowledgeable. They provided us with brilliant audition tips, very personalised feedback, and opportunities to explore different roles. School Choirs. At the time, they felt like just a fun activity to do--but really, choirs have taught me so much! Holding a harmony, learning to sight read, blending voices -- these skills are so essential in musicals, and have helped me so much. How do you prepare for a new role? Rhea: It depends on the role, really! A lot of my roles so far have had a strong emphasis on singing very complex harmonies within a very small group -- so my main preparation has always been listening to the songs until I know them to the core. Singing aside, when it comes to my character, I think having a background in psychology has always helped me really try to understand character motivation, character goals, and character dynamics within a show. I try really hard to give any role a little analysis -- also taking into account how I, personally, would like to make it my own. Can you share a particularly memorable project from your theatre career so far? I have one that happened only last month! It was in Footlights Theatrical Inc.'s cabaret, 'She's All That' -- the show itself consisted of nine fabulous ladies singing nostalgic girl power anthems. During one of the beautiful ballads sung by another cast member, the lights of the venue just completely went out -- in fact, the whole suburb lost power. Somehow, through pure willpower and also the generator of a taco truck, the crew managed to power up four microphones and a light to keep the show running. Not only was that, in itself, just so inspiring and incredible to watch -- but I had a really special moment where, during my own rendition of "Girl On Fire", all the power just suddenly returned to the venue. It was so truly memorable, seeing everything just light up suddenly, and seeing all the joy in everyone's faces. I don't think I'll ever forget it. Are you working on any shows at the moment? Rhea: I am actually behind the scenes, this time! I am music directing 'Blood Brothers', with Ghostlight Theatre Co. It is my first time music directing a show, and I was definitely very nervous when I first started. However, the cast and creative team have been nothing short of wonderful -- kind, fun, and so hard-working. I'm having a blast! The creative team was lovely, and let me just go crazy with the music -- they've let me write harmonies, change things up, and add my own little quirks to the songs. I am so grateful for the opportunity, and I am so excited to see all the magic come to life onstage! Are there specific types of roles or theatre genres you find most rewarding or challenging? Rhea: Huge fan of all things musical! If there's singing in it, I'll be there. I am especially sold if there are hints of gospel within the music. I have mostly worked with smaller casts, and I have loved every single one. You do very much become like a family -- and it really gives you the chance to connect with all these amazing people with all sorts of different backgrounds. However, I'm still relatively new to the world of theatre--so I am so incredibly excited to continue to explore and try out new things. How do you approach collaboration with directors, fellow actors, and the production team? Can you share a positive collaboration experience that stood out to you? Rhea: For me, it's all about learning. I have a lot to learn, and so approaching directors, actors, and production teams with an open mind and enthusiasm has always been the way to go for me. An experience that really stood out for me was actually in my first musical, 'Little Shop of Horrors' with the Savoyards. The musical director, Hayley Marsh, is genuinely one of my role models. She just has this amazing ear for music, and her vision for the music was always so much fun to work with. Even though being an urchin and learning tricky harmonies was a challenge, she always made it fun, and had so much patience and wisdom to give. While I'm teaching music for 'Blood Brothers,' I often think about some of her techniques and tips. She really is amazing! What are some highlights throughout your stage journey that you are particularly proud of? Rhea: I think a particular highlight for me was playing Olive in 'The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee' by Brisbane Arts Theatre. This was particularly rewarding, because it was the first time I had to perform for so many nights -- the show ran for six weekends, and I was really proud of the stamina and determination that I had to perform each weekend while completing my masters degree. It was also very rewarding to be a finalist in the 'Best Lead Actress in a Community Musical' in the Golden Palm Awards for that role. That role and that show was so incredibly close to my heart, and it was so nice to receive feedback that the love I had for that role was present onstage as well. Are there specific goals or roles you aspire to achieve in the future? Rhea: I want to explore more! I want to work with different companies, I want to try different genres and styles, I want to work with bigger casts, and I want to music direct more! It is so exciting to me that there are so many different opportunities out there, and I don't want to miss any of them. I don't have any dream roles just yet -- but I will let you know when something snatches my heart! What advice do you have for individuals hoping to gain a role in a stage show? Rhea: Just give it a go. Because, really, what is the worst that happens? Sure, you don't get in, and it stings for a little while -- but there's always opportunities to get feedback and grow, and then nail the next audition. All panels are always looking for something different, and you may just be that person they are looking for! And always ask for help. You're never on your own -- not in theatre. There are always people who are happy to give you tips, feedback, and support.
