Arranging a date to meet for coffee, in later life, can be fraught with challenges. Intentions can get confusing and arrangements misunderstood. This is just one of the hilarious short skits in Maleny Players forth-coming production ‘Stages’, held at the Playhouse at Maleny Showgrounds on the Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th of February, in two matinee performances commencing at 3pm.
The revue-style production has the theme ‘Stages of life’ with particular emphasis on celebrating the joys of ageing via drama, comedy and interesting and humorous stories presented as genuine monologues.
The short play ‘Together Forever’ tackles the challenges of ageing in a long term marriage. The various skits provide some amusing light relief and highlight some life’s everyday foibles, which audience members can easily relate to. Some of the monologues are dramatic, some reflective and some just amusing but all are heart-felt and often relate to past experiences. In late 2022 local author, Jill Morris, and experienced actor, Astrid Ainsworth, decided to gather together like minded people to discuss and workshop ideas particularly with regard to ageing in the modern world when 70 can be regarded as the new 60 and people are living longer and participating actively in all aspects of life. With some members also very good singers and musicians the show has an entertaining balance throughout the numerous segments. Suitable for all ages Stages is bright and positive and designed for the local audience. It aims to provide amusing entertainment and enjoyable reflection.
