Moonlite Theatre and Moorabool council are teaming up for a BaccChat event on Saturday, December 2.
From 10am-noon guests are invited to a morning of play readings, songs, improvisation and morning tea for all ages.
Moonlite Theatre is an amateur theatre group that began in 2017 and takes its name from one of Bacchus Marsh’s most infamous residents – the 1860s, bushranger Andrew George Scott or, Captain Moonlite.
The group will be performing two radio plays written by a Melton playwright Alex McMurray, titled No Business Like… It”s all relative and No Business Like… Strike While the iron is hot.
The cast will also do some live improvisation, which will allow for audience participation.
Theatre vice-president Tim Hawthorne said the event is a positive opportunity to show the value of having an amateur theatre company in the Bacchus Marsh and Melton community.
“We are excited to be part of BaccChat, it is a mainstay in our event calendar each year,” he said.
Moonlite Theatre typically perform two shows a year outside BaccChat. Mr Hawthorne said the group is limited in the plays they can produce due to only having a small pool of actors to call upon.
“We will encourage anyone, regardless of experience but with a passion for theatre, to come down to BaccChat to discuss how you can get involved with our group or follow us,” he said.
“We are always looking for new actors/actresses, directors, playwrights, front of house, backstage, sound and light technicians.”
