Tap Cats of the Sunshine Coast is now in rehearsal!
SPAT is proud and delighted to be premiering this play written by Stanwell Park author Christine Sykes.
Christine adapted the play from her novel of the same name, which was inspired by her and her aunt’s experience taking up tap dancing in retirement.
It’s the first SPAT production that showcases tap dancing and gives some of our best local tap dancers “their moment in the sun”.
This red-carpet event is sure to be a crowd pleaser, so book early to avoid missing out. There are only four performances so it’s a case of “first in best dressed”.
Performance dates are: Saturday evening, April 26 at 7:30pm, a twilight performance on Sunday April 27 at 4pm, and evening performances on Friday, May 4 and Saturday, May 5, both at 7:30. Tickets will be available from mid-March. Go to www.spat.org.au and follow the link to buy tickets.
SPAT Singers set date for Dinner Shows
The dates for our annual dinner show are Saturday, June 21 and Saturday, June 28. Also, this year we are also offering a soiree performance on Sunday, June 29. It will start in the late afternoon and at interval light refreshments will be provided instead of the 3-course meal served at the evening performances.
The dinner shows and soirees are much loved; replete with a range of songs from classical to farcical and interspersed with plenty of audience participation. It also showcases our members’ instrumental talents as they accompany some songs with flute, violin, accordion, saxophone and clarinet and, of course, piano. The prices have not yet been decided but we can promise it will be great value for money.
If you would like to be part of this fun-filled event, now is the perfect time to join SPAT Singers.
Our talented director, Lindy Sharp, will be unveiling her repertoire over the next few months. Come along to the Stanwell Park CWA Hall Friday evenings at 7:30pm. In addition to great music and great company, our members also provide liquid refreshments and scrumptious eats at interval and, best of all, there is no charge for all this, except the annual SPAT membership fee of $15.
SPAT will also be putting on a show in late August/early September. I’ll reveal more details of this in the April edition.
Stay tuned!
