Sally Fleming has played a critical role in bringing to life several Beaumaris Theatre productions, including A Year with Frog and Toad and Arsenic & Old Lace. We asked Sally to step under the spotlight to get to know her better.
Congratulations to the cast and production teams of The Bridges of Madison County and A Year with Frog and Toad on their well-earned Music Theatre Guild of Victoria nominations and commendations!
Andrew Wild is making his Beaumaris Theatre debut in Arsenic and Old Lace this November at Beaumaris Theatre. We asked Andrew to step under the spotlight to get to know him better.
Annalei was gorgeous inside and out and she radiated ebullience and a zest for life, she had a fabulous sense of fun and humour and she had the most stunning and dazzling smile.
Ella Creaton’s creative genius has been a vital element to many Beaumaris Theatre productions over the last couple of years. We asked Ella to step under the spotlight to get to know her better.
It is truly captivating and the music and singing is beautiful with amazing voices, heartfelt lyrics and some very comical moments too. You will laugh and you will cry and you will relate to something or someone in almost every scene.
Step inside the doors of the theatre, and it's a different world. Every common area hums with action, collaboration and laughter. This is one of the many rehearsals for the inaugural Beaumaris Theatre Monologue Festival. For three hours, a colourful crew of creatives flit through the building, each bringing to life a unique story.
Here we are in June, halfway through the year. What a delightfully busy six months we’ve had. Throughout the last few months, we’ve had three shows overlapping and Beaumaris Theatre was abuzz with theatrical activity, which is just the way we love it.
Beaumaris Theatre is delighted to announce the all-star cast of The Bridges of Madison County, directed by Colin Armstrong and musically directed by Sue Fletcher.
I am writing this as the cast and production team of Steel Magnolias prepare for their final two performances, rehearsals for our August production of The Bridges of Madison County have kicked off (announced below), and we are also fast approaching our very first Beaumaris Theatre Monologue Festival!
It’s hard to pick a favourite character, especially if you see it as a woman yourself – you will probably relate to each one of them in some way, or, picture in your mind, a friend you could easily have represented by one of them somewhere within the plot.
We are delighted to announce the directors and actors who will be bringing original work to life in Beaumaris Theatre's inaugural Monologue Festival.
The Monologue Festival will feature a series of powerful performances by local actors, each presenting an original monologue that highlights their skills and creativity. The festival will celebrate the art of solo performance and offer a platform for actors to shine in the spotlight.
Beaumaris Theatre Inc. is delighted to announce the playwrights and their monologues who will be featured in our inaugural Monologue Festival this June.
Thank you to everyone who supported our concert in support of Cancer Council Victoria on Saturday 27 April. With your support, we have raised an incredible $2,933.75 to support Victorians affected by cancer.
Congratulations to Committee member Fiona Willians on being a finalist for the Citizen of the Year Award at the recent Bayside Community Awards.
I first saw the movie Steel Magnolias in 1989 and I was uplifted and torn apart by the beautiful, heartwarming story, witty and moving script and the special relationships of the friends played exceptionally by Hollywood’s powerhouse of female stars. There was no doubt their friendships transcended off-screen to real life.
It is hard to find the words to fully describe the impact Robyn, Steve and Trevor have had on Beaumaris Theatre and our community. We are so grateful for the passion, leadership, compassion and creativity they have brought to the Committee, expertly guiding the Theatre through challenging times and establishing a strong foundation for the future.
A Year with Frog and Toad has been described as part vaudeville, part make-believe and all charm. While the cast is five adults, this production is a perfect way for the whole family to come on an adventure across the four seasons with Frog, Toad and all their friends.
Fred has been involved in the Theatre scene in Melbourne for over 45 years. He has made it a better place. Not everyone can have that said about them - but Fred can.
Camilla has been involved with Beaumaris for the past twenty years. During this time she has choreographed seventeen of our productions. She has given her time generously, both whilst serving on the Committee and when we required her support after she stepped down from Committee duties.
Steve is a man of action and many talents. He can often be found riding his bike, participating in Parkrun, helping behind the scenes at the Theatre with maintenance, set building, working backstage as a crew member or stage manager or appearing on stage. Every December, Steve can be found in a red suit and white beard spreading Christmas joy!
Since his first role with ACE Theatre in 1995, Stephen has been involved in over 55 productions. Beaumaris Theatre is very grateful for all the contributions Stephen makes and has made over more than 20 years.
Natalie Carden is making her Beaumaris Theatre Inc. debut in Little Miss Sunshine this September. We asked her to step under the spotlight to get to know her better.
Beaumarisical was a 70th Anniversary gift to our cherished and treasured Beaumaris Theatre family and the pleasure was truly ours.
We met with Robyn to discuss her 20-year journey in community theatre and her contribution to Beaumaris Theatre as a member, an actor, a director, and a Committee Member. We asked Robyn to reflect on her experiences and to give us some insight into how she came to be involved, the changes she has seen over the years, and her personal feelings about the benefits of belonging to a community organisation.
My personal involvement with Beauy extends back almost 20 years. I’m pleased and proud that, apart from BUGSY MALONE and RETURN TO THE FORBIDDEN PLANET (both before my time), I have either been part of the production team or seen every show represented in this production.
Mason Frost is making his Beaumaris Theatre debut in The Three Musketeers this month. We put Mason under the spotlight to get to know him better.
Our event is truly unique to us and we are delighted each year that our kindred thespians come together through music and friendship to raise funds for this extremely worthy cause in loving memory of our dear and cherished friends Barb Stewart and Lee Pezzimenti.
It is such a privilege and an honour to be leading and guiding our devoted and passionate Committee and creative talent as we strive to do what we all love so much and produce live shows that make us laugh, cry, think and immerse ourselves in storytelling and music.
