MADS looks to future
Counting down: the cast of Meeniyan Amateur Dramatic Society’s Into the Future is looking to Sunday’s opening.
THE scene is set for Meeniyan’s Amateur Dramatic Society’s next big hit as the group steps into the future.
Show director Paul Hendry promises the three part show Into the Future will have it all: great acting, dancing, singing, comedy and even some romance.
Mr Hendry has been singing the praises of the young cast of around 20, and is eagerly counting down the days until the show begins on January 15.
Two key actors to watch out for will be local youngster Kate Ball and Mirboo North’s Phil Ashton.
I, Robot sees the duo play housewife and robot respectively in a take-off of an Isaac Asimov story.
“This is going to be brilliant. They are going to knock the socks off the whole audience,” Mr Hendry said.
Technofruit is a one man show, featuring plenty of music and dance numbers.
The other show, Crime Stoppers, promises an intriguing twist and Mr Hendry is remaining tight lipped about it.
“It’s about a guy who is believed to have a robbed a futuristic wine depository. It’s captured on camera but the family doesn’t believe it’s him,” he said.
“But there’s a big sting to come, so I won’t say any more at this stage.”
The three comedies will feature hit songs from yesteryear, as well as some current pop sensations.
The crowd will be able to sing along with classics such as Turn Back Time, Rocket Man and Time Warp, while the younger generation will love Lady Gaga’s Bad Romance and Katy Perry’s Fireworks.
The show proves a family affair for the Hendrys, with the director’s wife Pat providing much of the costume design, and their daughter Tara becoming involved as musical director.
Tara will bring fellow singers, and members of trio Turning Point, Tarnya Wilson and Tish Cartwright.
“It’s good to have such great support, and to see these three ladies lending their talents to the stars of tomorrow,” Mr Hendry said.
