 Little Town Liars         Society Slump Superstars

Little Town Liars

Synopsis:
The show is set in Louisiana, 1956. It is the Halloween fair and the town is a buzz with excitement. The Austin kids  Belinda and Jake, along with their good friend Shirley, venture into the woods to take what they think are just innocent herbal pills. 3 days later, they wake up. What begins as a simple cover up, quickly snowballs into a case of mass hysteria within the town, where the excuse I was abducted by aliens becomes the popular excuse to cover up one's wrongdoings. Little Town Liars is a real tribute to Wellington's creative arts industry with a cast of 12 enthusiastic and very talented kiwi performers, who have a knack for creating hysterical characters. Our talented crew has been working hard to bring the beauty of 1950s America alive. The accents, the fashion, the architecture, the fads  it solicits such a specific atmosphere. Combining that with the hysteria of UFO culture, hallucinogenic drug-use, teenage pregnancy, adultery, embezzlement, and murder, Little Town Liars is set to be a chaotic mash of 1950s awesomeness, Hopton Stewart sa - http://www.theatreview.org.nz/reviews/production.php?id=2950

Society Slump Superstars

Synopsis:
Want to see the cast of Glee be assassinated one by one? Get ready to suspend your disbelief and witness the hilarious debut musical theatre work of Joshua Hopton Stewart. Based on his team's entry into the 2010 V48Hour Short Film Competition, Society Slump Superstars is a tongue-in-cheek story of a group of high school students who find themselves caught in the very centre of the biggest societal renovation in history! Follow them as they try to adapt to a new way of life where a wavering note, a wrong lyric, or a tap with the wrong foot could be their demise. Our musical takes place in modern-day, Recession-hitNew Zealand. The erratic Prime Minister Potts decides to improve the mood of his country (and his lacklustre ratings) by turning real life into a musical because everyone's happy in musicals. When the music plays, citizens everywhere must break into song or disappear mysteriously by The Men in White&
