Review from La Boite Ambassador - Ashlei J.

Statespeare is definitely not just one for the Shakespeare enthusiast among us!

Shake and Stir Theatre company

have devised an enthralling performance which drew everyone in the audience into the world of the four grade twelve students studying Shakespeare for their final performance assessment. Being there on opening night, I can assure you that there was not one negative comment said by anyone about La Boite’s latest piece of brilliance! For those who haven’t yet experienced the amazing intimacy of theatre on the round, this would also be the perfect performance to introduce you to it. For performance times.
Get ready for an amazingly entertaining performance! Remember to mention any one of the La Boite Ambassador’s names (Ashlei J.) during a phone booking or on the night (not internet bookings) to receive $15 tickets!

Year 10 - Children's Theatre

Year 10 - Children's Theatre

On Thursday, May 14th, the YEAR 10 DRAMA class presented group-devised Children's Theatre plays for students in Grade One from St Joseph's School, Nundah, and Holy Rosary School, Windsor.
The four groups who presented were very successful in delighting and entertaining the children.


Year 10 Drama students - briefly evaluate your experience.

The Seed

The Seed is a new Australian play written by Kate Mulvany. The story is based on her own experiences. The Seed takes place in Nottingham, England in the 1990s.
The Seed contains some references to infertility. We strongly recommend you discuss with your students how inappropriate responses might impact on the actors and other audience members. Our Teacher's Notes outline some activities which may help introduce your students to the ideas of the play.
The Seed contains strong language and some drug references.
It is important that students are fully briefed about appropriate theatre etiquette before seeing the production. Please remind students that this is a live performance and that the actors are able to see and hear them in the audience.
There are 3 actors in the play, each actor plays the same character throughout the show. The playwright, Kate Mulvany, is an actor in the play.
The play runs for approx 2 hours 15 minutes (including one interval)
After each school matinee performance there is a Question and Answer session with the director and cast. The Teacher's Notes contain some activities you can do with your students to prepare them for the Q & A session in order to make the most of the opportunity.
The Seed contains some strobe lighting and the smoke from one herbal cigarette.
