The 29th CATs – Combined Area Theatre Awards – whizzed by at The Q on Sunday afternoon in what was reckoned to be the fastest such event ever, reports arts editor HELEN MUSA.
Reviewer BILL STEPHENS reports that Queanbeyan Players' production of the excoriating chamber musical Next to Normal received an almost hysterical reception at its opening in the Belconnen Community Theatre on Friday night.
"This consistently well-sung production, with its attractive costumes, settings, large chorus and orchestra, succeeds in providing a delightfully entertaining evening of musical theatre," says reviewer BILL STEPHENS.
