De-Instructing Gordon...Transmission One
Posted by Aaron-David on 27.7.07

Transmissions Will Be Overtaken...
...when the Farndale series of email and Internet adverts premiere soon here from the gang at STAG.

Many takes and hours later, (to recover from crying with laughter), the cast of They Came From Mars And Landed Outside The Farndale Church Hall Just In Time For The Townswomen's Guild's Coffee Morning had completed a set of very unique, somewhat incoherent, but oddly amusing adverts to promote the play which is being performed in September.

Watch out as each week a new Farndale advert premieres and then email in to tell us which one you like the best. Then, get ready to have a big "Ha, Ha" belly laugh.

Losing A Gentle Giant
This week members of Shepparton Theatre Arts Group were saddened by the sudden loss of long time STAG-er, Mark Craggs.

Mark joined STAG for Jesus Christ Superstar in 1988, playing the role of Annas and then followed this with a performance as Samuel in The Pirates of Penzance. He also appeared in many theatre restaurants, including Gals Gags and Gangsters and Gaslight and Garters, his gravel-laden voice turning out a very impressive version of Mack The Knife.

Whilie his last onstage appearance was in Les Miserables as Grantaire, Mark was also very involved in many facets of offstage activity for the company.

Never has there been a more genuine, sincere and honest guy. He was loved by us all and will be sorely missed.

Adios, big guy.

Zip-A-De-Doo-Dah
Ladies and Gentlemen,

What a bother. Being a computer Neanderthal, I am afraid I cannot upload the spectacular picture of the ladies (and Gordon) dancing up a storm. However, it looks like a production number worthy of Bob Fosse, doesn't it? (That's me on the left) Oh, that's right, you can't see it. Well, the funny thing is that it's so near the truth that the similarities are just uncanny. That's us rehearsaing Zip-a-de-doo-dah.

I would firstly like to say thank-you to Aaron-David for letting our Guild advertise on this web-thingy. I'm afraid I'm not up with all the latest technological lingo, except if it were a rocket to Mars! (That was a joke.) Oh, nevermind.

Anyway, I'm here to let you all know that our Townswomen's Guild will be performing the classic thriller, "They Came From Mars" in September, and as the supportive thespians you are, we welcome you to come along. One of the authors will be in attendance so we hope it will be a 'hit', as they say in stage talk.

Featuring in the play are yours truly, Ms Phoebe Reece as Professor Einstein, the delightful Norah as Mrs Thompson and Roberta the Robot (what a talent), Thelma as Jimmy and Susan - we are hoping that will stick it up her, or erggh, rather stick it to her with a difficult task of those two roles. One would hope that she does it well. Or as well as Thelma can. Gordon is Reverend Allsop, enough said there, and I'm not sure how it's happened, but Felicity Watson is playing his wife and Indesit the Martian, Lord help us.

Obviously with my vast range of character styles and offstage talents, you already know who to keep your eye on.

Now, if I have been clever enough to get the next bit right, click on the kink, I mean link below for all the ticket information.

Here is the kink.

Yours truly, Ms. P. E. Reece.
