Saturday 19th June 7.30pm at The Rondo
It's time for some fun and social nights 'round the Rondo again with no expectations on volunteers except to have fun and meet other members and catch up with friends in our gorgeous little theatre.
Kevin and Narelle Shorey have gathered a bunch of familiar faces and had their first rehearsal, they have written and scripted just over an hour's entertainment with four guys and four girls. If you are interested in putting together entertainment for future nights please do chat to Kevin Shorey...
Also on the night a remembrance and honouring of one of our dear Rondo family members, Rosa Powell. We have a new remembrance garden in her honour. We miss her 'round the Rondo; she was always an active, caring and dedicated volunteer.
It's bring your own refreshments, glasses, nibbles etc and stay around for the lovely social gathering that usually follows, meet some directors and generally let's just enjoy theatre...or win our raffle with prizes kindly donated by Kevin and Narelle! All proceeds to a charity we will announce on the night...
See you there, June 19th, 7.30pm

A big thank you to Amara and Lynn for organising the first play reading social night at The Rondo. The night was a tremendous success with 14 people enjoying two different scripts. The first was a first draft of an original script by Geraldine Paterson, one of our newest members. It was shows very great potential as a comedy and stay tuned for workshops to develop the script further.
The second script was a one act by an Australian playwright that showed great promise as a potential fringe production. Everyone was very encouraging to have more similar nights so please, if you have a script that you would like read contact Amara and Lynn via secretary@therondo.com.au
Stay tuned for the next play reading night and come along and join in the fun 'round The Rondo...
