BWW Review: ALTAR BOYZ at Subiaco Arts Centre

With Perth Fringeworld drawing to a close, Arise Productions went for a quick backup from their production of Avenue Q to put on another comedy and off-Broadway smash in ALTAR BOYZ. The result is a hilariously enlightening Christian boy-band concert that may not save your soul, but that is sure to entertain you.

BWW Review: EMILIE: LA MARQUISE DU CHÂTELET DEFENDS HER LIFE TONIGHT at Subiaco Arts Centre

Anatomical Heart productions rather fittingly closed their debut performance just as National Science Week was kicking off. Their performance of EMILIE: LA MARQUISE DU CHATELET DEFENDS HER LIFE TONIGHT was a treat as much for theatre enthusiasts as it was for science enthusiasts.

BWW Review: MINNEAPOLIS at Subiaco Arts Centre

MINNEAPOLIS, a play by Will O'Mahony packed Subiaco Arts Centre for each of its performances. It is dramatic and confronting at different points and in different measures.

BWW Previews: MINNEAPOLIS at Subiaco Arts Centre

At Orfield Laboratories in Minneapolis, Minnesota, is what was the quietest room in the world. The silence is unbearable, and the weight of silence was something Will O’Mahony wanted to work with when he was writing MINNEAPOLIS, which opens at Subiaco Arts Centre on July 27th. I had the chance to chat with Will before MINNEAPOLIS opens.
