If there is one place that I love on the Gold Coast and spend a lot of time at it is of course, the ARTS CENTRE GOLD COAST.
This year they have had a name change. In fact they had a lot of changes and with a new General Manager Destry Puia settling, its looking good.
Galleries, theatres and cinemas . . . what more could you ask for? You'll love it!
Often I Find That I Am Naked by Fiona Sprott
"...a polished black comedy. Thomas portrays her character fantastically... while Clark gives a great performance. Plenty of (strictly adult) humour and some great ‘theme music’...a slick, well rehearsed offering". Nikki Gaertner, theatreguide.com.au, Adelaide, February 2010.
Anyone who's ever dreamt of perfect love but woken up hung over and naked in a stranger's bed is invited to laugh along when a new Australian comedy, Often I Find That I Am Naked.
Catch it in the Arts Theatre at The Arts Centre Gold Coast from Tuesday 21 September to Sunday 26 September 2010.
Direct from a critically acclaimed sell-out season in Brisbane, Often I Find That I Am Naked follows the life of down under Jezebel.
She's a professional Australian woman who spends her time shopping, drinking cocktails and looking for love any way she can: speed-dating, Facebook, text sex, RSVP, STD clinics, rehab and even hiring a private detective.
Acclaimed producer and lead actor Jo Thomas says Often I Find That I Am Naked "is a comical yet bold portrayal of the struggles many Australian women encounter in the dating world".
“What I love about the piece is the brutal honesty couched in humour, and I must admit I can relate to many of the dating disasters in this piece - maybe minus the rehab and private detective,” Ms Thomas said.
“I also know many fabulous single women and men in their early 30‟s who say it's hard to find someone to connect with, and the eternal question seems to be and how do I meet people?‟
"Well, Jezebel has lots of ideas and lots of dating tips. She is willing to give anything a go!”
Often I Find That I Am Naked is by critically acclaimed playwright Fiona Sprott, whose work has been produced across Australia and the UK, as well as in New York, Bulgaria and soon Brazil and Canada.
Directing Often I Find That I Am Naked is National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA) graduate Shane Anthony. Shane has also trained in New York with Anne Bogart and the Saratoga International Theatre Institute. He has directed an array of works in Brisbane, Sydney, New York and Hong Kong.
Joining Jo Thomas on stage is Sam Clark. Sam has toured with theatre productions such as Newton’s Law and Stick and Stones, and made TV guest appearances on Sea Patrol and Tightrope.
