Retrospective in Theatrics

Wenona Revue

Scaling a walk up the streets of North Sydney toward the Independent Theatre, sweat drips down the face like a meal over a hot plate of anything against the raw. Scoring a ticket from the trumpeter, a seat up in the gallery, away from the parents of the students from Wenona Performing Arts.

Three pages in the program reveal nothing but a constant rechecking. So many performances, so many italics and credits. The eye casts the mind into a small storm of spin. Closer inspection says that the spreads are days and that the program changes slightly from one to another. Certainly more logical than having to work out the hours on hours length suggested at the passing glance.

Friday; day after Thursday's opening night; day before Saturday's expected big bang bye bye.

Flight attendants set the scene and from there on in it's an all out gas. From the singing, acting and movements all around the night itself just ream the cheeks and channels an energy down the core of the spine.

Anticipation in the days and weeks making the wait an incredibly joyous spectacle. Throwing in oldies, Queen's Crazy Little Thing Called Love, a bit of ballet and a hilarious skit, the night is an invigorating sensation.

Not enough words to pay compliments with. Just the bursting of joy at the seams.
