THE KILL and STARGAZERS Kick Off Moment to Moment Theatre Co.'s PubTheatre

'PubTheatre' is a collection of six short Australian plays, performed by the ensemble of Moment to Moment Theatre Company. We will have eleven performances between February 8th and February 22nd, some of which will be Australian / World premiers.

The Mission for PubTheatre: We want to bring theatre to the masses, young and old, who may never have experienced its magic. We aim to bring comedic and dramatic stories of high quality to pubs across Melbourne, in an attempt to break down perceived notions of what theatre 'has to be'.

Theatre does not have to be exclusive and expensive, in fact by nature, theatre is supposed to be the opposite; inclusive and intimate. Storytelling began with cavemen sitting around a campfire telling stories, creating hope and reflecting on their world. We don't have the campfire anymore, now we have the local drinking hole.

The Plays:

THE KILL

If you dream you die, you die right? Well what if someone else dies in your dream? Or what if you dream you kill them? And what if that person is sitting beside you on the couch, watching the TV? A psychological dream-thriller. With tomatoes.

Performed by: Adam Marsh and Daniel Snibson.

M2M was founded in June 2016 by 16th Street Graduate Adam Marsh with the aim of performing with actors trained in Sensory, Meisner & other acting techniques. With joint efforts from fellow graduate & Co-Artistic Director Louis Corbett, M2M have been hard at work planning our first season since October 2016.

M2M has grown to a full sized ensemble of 30 actors whom have graduated or are in training at various acting schools around Melbourne, utilizing proven and highly acclaimed acting techniques from leading internationally acclaimed acting teachers.

Our aim is to bring to life, the great works from contemporary Australian, UK & US writers in a way that is accessible & attracts non-traditional theatre going audience members.

Aside from theatre shows, M2M regularly host Open Stage Night, Melbourne's only open mic night that caters exclusively for theatre & acting, once a month at The Dan O'Connell in Carlton.
