Just putting the word out that Blak Yak are looking for a rehearsal venue for their latest production. We need somewhere fairly central (although that's negotiable) and cheap (that's not negotiable). If you know of anywhere, or have somewhere like that yourself, please please please either reply to this plea, email me on the above address or call me on:
041 799 4544.

Much appreciated.

Much as I enjoy going to see Blak Yak (& other theatre groups) at the Don Russell Centre, if that facility cost $2.4 million, somebody made an awful lot of money; it's also a pity they didn't consult some theatre people about the size/depth of the stage - for instance, a large scale musical is impossible.
Community Theatre groups don't need 200+ seat fixed pros arch theatres which can't be filled each night & in which sharing with other groups/finances preclude use on a continual basis (eg for rehearsals/set building etc). Ideally, about 100 seats & the ability to do their own tech, run their own front of house/bar/suppers, do their own ticketing, re-arrange seating/staging to suit the production - that is, control the facility - would suit most small to medium groups! How many such facilities could be built for $2.4 million???
