There are tickets available for the WA premiere of David Williamson's 'Up For Grabs' which opens this friday at the Kwinana Arts Centre - Sulphr Road, Kwinana. For those who are tossing up whether to come down to see the show, but think it's too far. Think again, Kwinana Arts Centre is only 25 min from Perth. Also, this is not an overly long play - it will be done by 10pm, so it won't be too late a night. Please see following details for the play and bookings number. Kwinana Theatre Workshopi's next production will be David Williamsons: Up For Grabs. Directed by Paul Treasure. Casti: Simone - Kristen Twynam-Perkins Gerry - Adam Salathiel Manny - Lee Wright Felicity - Kimberley Shaw Dawn - Melinda Sklenars Kel - Don Lee Mindy - Joy Norton (Yes you have read correctly Up For Grabs marks the return to the stage of not one but two Finlay Award Winning Directors, Kimberley Shaw and Lee Wright, after 8 and 11 years respectively.) The story deals with the efforts of Simone, a young fledgling art dealer, to sell a painting by Australian artist Brett Whitely for a record $2 million and thereby establish herself at the “big end of town”. This ambition turns to desperation when she signs a contract guaranteeing this price. Performances: August 17, 18, 22, 24 & 25 at 8pm 19 & 25 2pm. Adult - $17 & Conc - $15 Ticket bookings on 9439 0290 (after hrs 9528 2220) Kwinana Arts Centre - Sulphur Road, Kwinana

What a thing to say. Are you suggesting that just because one has skills as a choereographer or dancer that they are then incapable at being at the very least good at something else?

Can I say Hugh Jackman? Renowned Australian Actor? Star of a few blockbuster films? Dancer, Singer, Broadway Star in Boy From Oz?

Or maybe Christopher Walken, another respected Hollywood Actor who is also a dancer, singer, broadway star and a choreographer.

Does the fact that I am a fight choreographer that I am therefore excluded from being an actor or director?

Open your mind a little. I guess you haven't heard of the all-round performer.
