FOLLOWING swiftly on from their recent dance production Vintage Jukebox, the students of the Luitingh Alexander Musical Theatre Academy (LAMTA) are ready to embark on their acting production for 2023, entitled così – an Aussie classic full of comedy mayhem – at Theatre On The Bay from September 20.
Così is a heart-warming and hilarious play about friendship, romance, community and difference. It’s 1971 and Australia is protesting the war in Vietnam. But inside an institution, the resident patients are listening to Mozart, learning their lines and occasionally skipping their medication. It’s art, it’s mayhem, it’s a wonderful roller coaster all the way to opening night.
With its cast of loveable characters, Così offers a touching reminder of how art can make our spirits soar. The show is directed by seasoned Emeritus Professor Chris Weare and featuring a cast of 15 young actors from LAMTA.
Running time: Two hours 20 mins (including interval).
Content warning: Strong language and some adult themes.
Performances take place at the Theatre on the Bay as follows:
Wednesday 20 September at 8pm, Thursday 21 September at 8pm, Friday 22nd September at 8pm, Saturday 23rd September at 4pm and 8pm.
