‘Art’ by Yasmina Reza at the Black Box Theatre Nambour

On Friday night a group of past and present Speech and Drama students went to see a play put on by a new Sunshine Coast-based group called Staged Theatre.

The play was ‘Art’ by Yasmina Reza, a French comedy that was later translated into English for London and Broadway audiences. It concerns the conflicts that develop in the relationship of three friends when one of them buys a plain white painting for a ridiculously large sum of money.

Staged Theatre put on an excellent production at the Black Box Theatre in Nambour and had the audience shrieking and gasping with the antics of the three actors. It was wonderful to see local talent up on stage and we’ll certainly be keeping an eye out for their next production.

Staged Theatre is currently looking for ten talented actors of all ages and experience levels to be part of their next production, ‘Shakesbot: A Digital Ode to the Bard’. Auditions are being held in Buderim on Wednesday 28th June. More information can be found on their website at https://www.stagedtheatre.com.au/
