Bombs Away! A Musical

Synopsis:
From the guys who brought you Comedy Festival hits Space Race and The Irrefutable Truth About Pet Food, comes BOMBS AWAY - an explosive, brand new comedy-musical where no New Zealand icon is safe (from bombs). It's 2012 in the island nation of New Zealand, and when a bomb-terrorist starts targeting the some of the country's most beloved landmarks, the Prime Minister calls upon the only guys qualified for the job. A.D, Matt and Ben are Bombs Away", 3 bomb disposal experts who couldn't defuse a bomb if their lives depended on it (often the case when it comes to bombs). Armed with courage, teamwork, and song, our unlikely heroes venture on a nationwide journey that takes them everywhere from Kelly Tarlton's to the Waitomo Caves. From Ohakune's giant carrot to the world famous Hobbit Film Set itself. With the country facing a threat to it's identity and tourist viability unlike any it has ever known, it's up to the three least qualified techs in all of the Commonwealth to put aside their differences and sort it out. With a hilarious script from Nic Sampson, Ryan Richards and Barnaby Fredric, complemented by an exciting full length musical score from Joseph Moore, BOMBS AWAY is an absurd and uplifting show that promises to me one of the most unique of the 2012 New Zealand Comedy Festival. BOMBS AWAY is based on the award winning short musical, A Stitch in Time, which competed in and took out the lion's share of the awards at the Short + Sweet Theatre festivals in Auckland and Melbourne. No strangers to the stage or screen, Nic, Ryan, Barnaby and Joseph have written, devised and performed 13 original comedy works for Auckland and Wellington theatres - as well as having performed in and written for numerous NZ Television productions. With impossibly catchy songs, an innovative set and elaborate stage-explosions - BOMBS AWAY is a likely sell-out, and an absolute must see.

Feel Felt Found

Synopsis:
An Uproarious and Controversial Piss-Take of the Corporate World! Brace yourself as you are in for turbulent ride. Three comic actors have come together to create a comedy piece that is nothing short of ridiculous! Feel Felt Found is a pseudo-epic uproarious light-hearted look of the world of the SUIT as the corporate Mercedes Benz-driving, conference-calling, high-flying business consultant. The piece will be the journey of one man and the characters that he meets that change him. He journeys through innocence, discovery, power, corruption to eventual downfall and redemption. Whether you work in the corporate sector or not -rest assured- the warped imaginations of this multitalented triumvirate have created laugh-out-loud theatrical punch that will see all the patrons gagging for more!

Green Room

Synopsis:
A fairly shallow story about three shameless, ruthless, hapless young louts and their unending rivalry to get the girl, the line, the good hat, Green Room's charm is in the droll performances of the protagonists as they feverishly undertake their self-serving agendas. There are a few clever twists, some not unpredictable but still satisfying in a way. The action goes down (mainly) in the green room of a locally produced international film. Three plucky lads, just extras in the project at this stage, hustle and scheme to milk this would-be Hollywood scene for all it's worth. . .
