2008-09-08T07:40:00.000-07:00

Tickets to The Playroom are $15 dollars for adults and $12 for concession/seniors. If
you would like to pay less, read on:

1) If Billy came to The Playroom on opening night and bought $15 worth of tickets, how
many tickets would Billy have?
The correct answer is TWO. On opening night you can get TWO tickets for the
price of ONE!

2) Billy could also pay less for his ticket by inviting all his friends.
If you book in a group of 10 or more, all tickets are $10

3) Billy, being a frugal boy, is also a My Fringe subscriber. This means that any
night of the Fringe Festival Billy can see the show for $12.
My Fringe subscribers pay $12 any night.

4) If Billy had the foresight eight months ago to write, direct, design produce and
perform his own Fringe show he would also have an Artist Pass which would give him free
entry to The Playroom.
Being in the Fringe Hub, The Playroom offers free entry to holders of Artist
Passes if they are seats available on the night.

Welcome to ‘The Playroom’

2008-09-01T07:57:00.000-07:00

A girl plays on a wine glass orchestra and a boy builds a spiralling city of wooden blocks. An old man and woman sit outside a lolly shop; they watch each other watching the world. Shadow puppets and paper dolls rain down and a boy and girl decorate seemingly endless rows of steaming gingerbread men…

Welcome to ‘The Playroom’ where theatre is darkly comic and accompanied by an orchestra of children’s toy musical instruments. Where little children play with adult’s toys and forget that even though they’re playing make believe, the toys are real.

‘The Playroom’ is an original musical theatre performance/installation presented by a core cast of six talented performers. The production has been written and scored by Alisa Tanaka-King and directed by Brienna Macnish, both members of St. Martin’s Youth Theatre Creative Ensembles 2007/2008.

The show gathers together emerging artists who have worked with some of Melbourne’s most significant youth theatre organisations including St Martin’s Performers Ensemble, Platform Youth Theatre and RMIT Union Arts.

‘The Playroom’ can be visited twice nightly by meeting your guide in the Festival Hub Foyer (Arts House, North Melbourne Town Hall) for performances at 6:30p.m. and 8:00p.m. The season runs from October 1 to October 11. There are no performances on October 6 or 7.
