Hello Guys and Dolls,



Welcome back FASTies to Melbourne! Brisbane was beautiful and I hope that those of you who didn't make it up with us this time, come next year =)


SHORT FLICKS
October is shaping up to be one of this busiest months of the year! Next Monday the 10th of October, the filmmakers of La Trobe have their night! At ACMI Cinemas at 8pm Short Flicks premieres! To purchase tickets please go to the ACMI website or you can buy your tickets at the door on the night (if you plan to do this, please arrive early to collect them!)


THE OCTOBER SEASON
Next Tuesday the 11th signifies the start of the October Season. This year 'A Lie of the Mind' and 'Closer' are on offer in the Studio. It is recommended that you book tickets in advance as the Studio has only limited seating. Call the office on 9479 1198 or email me to book your seats.

MUSICANS WANTED
The LaTUCS Choral Society is performing a concert on Friday the 21st of October and are in need of some musicial help. They need a drummer, a bass player and a pianist to accompany them for the song 'The Creation' by Bobrowitz and Porter. You can find a sample recording of the song here: http://www.waltonmusic.com/Sound12/TheCreation/

If you interested in helping out, give me a call in the office or email Nathan Mackie on: nathan.p.mackie@gmail.com


THE BALL
Finally it's that time of year again! The Long Live The Prohibition Ball is on Friday the 28th of October at 7.30pm in The Playroom. Tickets cost $30 if you pre-purchase them through the Student Theatre and Film office, or $35 at the door if there are any remaining. Due to the relatively small size of The Playroom, there is a LIMITED number of tickets available. If you absolutely cannot face the end of the Student Theatre year without one final dress-up and dance-till-your-clothes-drop-off, then it is very muchly recommended that you pop by the office and buy your tickets sooner rather than later!

Till then, be good and I hope you're all having a lovely afternoon!

Monday means Short Flicks!!

Hello film and theatre enthusiasts!


Yesterday may have been overcast and grey but there was colours abound at La Trobe! If you didn’t make it to Bundoora yesterday, you missed something spectacular! For instance… an amazing 60’s dance party, some babes in bathers, a Bollywood dance, a fight between two Jedi’s and a fencer, two green kayakers not to mention a few hundred others throwing balloons and glitter all over the Union Building! What an amazing day! Huge thanks to everyone who came out in colour and helped make LIPDUB so much fun! Expect to see video links going up to the final video within the next week or two =)

SHORT FLICKS
But don’t exhale just yet, believe it or not this year just keeps getting bigger and better! This Monday night, the 4th of October, is Short Flicks!! This night of nights is going to be held at ACMI cinema at Federation Square at 8pm. If you haven’t already made a visit to the CBD and bought your tickets at the box office, make sure you rock up early on Monday – expect a crowd! With nine new films ready to hit the silver screen this is going to be one amazing night you can’t miss! We’ll see you there!

THE PLAYER
The next issue of The Player is here – complete with reviews from our Northcote Town Hall season! You can of course come in and pick up a better resolution copy on usb from the office anytime. To download use this link: http://www.mediafire.com/file/i526xa4024z1nyy/The%20Player%20-%20September%20Edition.pdf The next issue is a joint FAST/LIPDUB so if you’ve got contributions to make to the issue make sure they come in before October 15. There are a few jobs up for grabs for upcoming editions: we’d love to hear from people interested in reviewing Short Flicks, The History Boys and The Philanthropist.


There are comp tickets going for the MelBorn show Ms Robinson comes to town if anyone is interested in reviewing the show! Get in touch with me and I’ll hook you up! Reviews are getting published both in The Player but also Theatre Alive! There are also $20 tickets for youse who would like to see the show if you quote ‘PANDORA’ at the door =)
