A prize for guessing who these two divine dramatists are...
Have just figured out how to get Youtube movies on here. If you know of any great performances - pass it on :) Our new header image is from the archives. Oklahoma from 19- -? More photos from the vault in the photo gallery. If you know any of the shows, or performers post details here and the captions can be updated. Goondiwindi, where the wind comes sweepin' down the plain And the wavin' cotton can sure smell spot on When the wind comes right behind the rain. Goondiwindi, Ev'ry night my honey lamb (Corish?) and I Sit alone and talk and watch a hawk Makin' lazy circles in the sky. We know we belong to the land And the land we belong to is grand! And when we say Yeeow! Ayipioeeay! We're only sayin' You're doin' fine, Goondiwindi! Goondiwindi O.K. Huge support/interest for Red Hot Mama's, a collabarative dramatic ensemble under the auspices of Pauline Clyne. Starting next week. Open to all Mama's who are red hot. Sizzling stuff! Contact Pauline Clyne for more details paclyne2@bigpond.com.au  Acting is the most minor of gifts and not a very high-class way to earn a living. After all, Shirley Temple could do it at the age of four. Katherine Hepburn I love acting. It is so much more real than life. Oscar Wilde Acting is merely the art of keeping a large group of people from coughing. Sir Ralph Richardson Actors are the opposite of people. Tom Stoppard I'm a skilled professional actor. Whether or not I've any talent is beside the point. Michael Caine You can pick out actors by the glazed look that comes into their eyes when the conversation wanders away from themselves. Michael Wilding Acting is all about honesty. If you can fake that, you've got it made. George Burns If it's a good script I'll do it. And if it's a bad script, and they pay me enough, I'll do it. George Burns A good review from the critics is just another stay of execution. Dustin Hoffman Working with [Sophia Loren] is like being bombarded by watermelons. Alan Ladd Wondering why you love to sing?? A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song. ~Maya Angelou He who sings frightens away his ills. ~Miguel de Cervantes, Don Quixote Some days there won't be a song in your heart. Sing anyway. ~Emory Austin Sing out loud in the car even, or especially, if it embarrasses your children. ~Marilyn Penland The singer has everything within him. The notes come out from his very life. They are not materials gathered from outside. ~Rabindranath Tagore You can cage the singer but not the song. ~Harry Belafonte Those who wish to sing always find a song. ~Proverb I don't sing because I'm happy; I'm happy because I sing. ~William James So she poured out the liquid music of her voice to quench the thirst of his spirit. ~Nathaniel Hawthorne Of all the wonders of nature, a tree in summer is perhaps the most remarkable; with the possible exception of a moose singing "Embraceable You" in spats. ~Woody Allen God sent his Singers upon earth With songs of sadness and of mirth, That they might touch the hearts of men, And bring them back to heaven again. ~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Congratulations to Lew Verney and Paddy Martin for their achievements in this year's Australia Day Awards. Lew was awarded Citizen of the Year and Paddy was awarded the 2010 Cultural Award. Well done you blokes! Great stuff.
