2026: A Year of Creative Horseplay!
Get ready to unleash your inner artist! The year 2026 is all about embracing your fiery spirit and taking bold steps towards creative expression. And what better way to do that than by joining the Maleny Players' Play Reading sessions?
This unique event has been a staple in Maleny for years, bringing together a community of passionate performers and enthusiasts. Led by the legendary Jill Morris and now under the capable reins of Pat Lovell, these play readings offer a fun and inclusive space for all.
Here's how it works: each month, on the last Friday from 9:30 am to midday, a new play is chosen. Whether you're a seasoned actor or a curious beginner, you'll be assigned a role or even participate in a round-robin style reading, ensuring everyone gets a chance to shine. The reading itself is a blast, with the script coming alive through the voices of the participants.
But here's where it gets controversial (or at least, a little unexpected)! After Act One, we take a break for a cuppa and some lively discussion. It's a chance to reflect, chat, and maybe even debate the play's themes and characters. It adds an extra layer of engagement and makes the experience truly interactive.
And this is the part most people miss: the Play Reading sessions are a breeding ground for future talent. Many past participants have gone on to grace the stage, direct, or even write their own plays for the Maleny Players' annual productions. It's a welcoming, supportive environment that nurtures creativity and community.
So, if you're feeling adventurous and want to explore your creative side, why not give it a go? You can contact Pat Lovell on 0402 618 030 for more information, or simply show up on the first Friday of the month and join the fun!
Remember, 2026 is the year of the Horse - a symbol of ambition and forward movement. Embrace your creative spirit and gallop towards new experiences!
