SPAT saw 2022 off with a crash and a bang, with our outrageously successful Panto, Montana Smith and the Raiders of the Lost Land. Nine sold-out performances! Many thanks to the cast and crew for their energy and enthusiasm, and congratulations to writers Kelly Maree Michael and Bernadette Lemesurier on this absolute gem of a show. Special mention goes to Danielle Ives for her exquisite production design that had to be seen to be believed!

Our January school holiday theatre workshops were also a huge success, thank you to Kelly Maree, V and Sage for giving our young would-be actors and writers an unforgettable experience.

After all that excitement we took an extended break over the holidays, but now we’re back, refreshed and ready for a new season.

First up, a call for actors. SPAT is planning to put on a comedy play in May 2023, and we are on the look-out for talent. Never acted before? Don’t be afraid! Our shows are for everyone, all ages, shapes and sizes are welcome. Old hands and new faces, come along to the CWA and show us what you can do. Auditions will be held during the first two weeks of March – check out our website for details.

Also coming up this year – SPAT Singers is turning 40! Hard to believe that some members have been there from the very beginning. A very special celebratory show will be held in July.

Later this year, belatedly because of Covid, we will be putting on our RISE Festival. Two years ago we put a call out for aspiring writers to submit one-act plays that SPAT would produce as an evening of readings. Watch this space for news.

Lastly, we are looking for expressions of interest for improv classes for adults.
