It’s a case of Double Trouble for the Moonlite Theatre.

The local Bacchus Marsh and Melton district theatre company is holding its latest production being held this month, Double Trouble.

Vice-president Tim Hawthorne said the production was broken into two separate productions, Donut’s Can Kill You and Room 326.

“Both have been written by local playwrights and produced locally,” he said. “Both plays are comedies and people get in trouble.

“One is about family trouble and the second one is about a bank robber and hotel guests.

“Both plays are fun and it’s a good night out to have a laugh.”

Hawthorne said where they can, they try to produce productions by local playwrights.

He said they wanted to work together with the community.

Moonlite Theatre normally produces two productions a year, while also performing at local libraries and retirement villages throughout the rest of the year.

This production is part of Moorabool council’s Hide and Seek event.

Hawthorne said the council had been a massive support of the company and allowing them to put on productions.

“Room 326 ties in with the theme of hide and seek and it works out really well.

Moonlite Theatre is always searching for new members on stage and the production side of things.

“The more people we have, the bigger productions we can produce.”

Double Trouble is on November 8, 9 and 16 at the Holy TrInity Anglican Church Hall.
