Auditions open for cabaret
IF you have a secret, or not so secret talent, auditions are now open for the Tropical Art Deco Festival’s Roaring 20s Basket Cabaret.
A highlight of this year’s festival, the show will be held at the Innisfail Shire Hall on September 15.
The show’s creator and main performer, Brisbane-based Western Standards Productions’ Melissa Western, will be in Innisfail on Sunday, August 13 and Monday, August 14 to audition local talent to appear in the cabaret.
Innisfail residents may remember Melissa’s fabulous “Ella, Etta, Eartha” show and performance at Morning Melodies in 2022.
Festival convenor Kerry Linton said this show had plenty of opportunities for community engagement.
“It has been designed to incorporate and promote talented locals to really make this night an unforgettable event,” she said.
VooVoo, a bubbly heiress in 1920s Innisfail, is turning 21 and throwing the party of the year to celebrate.
Performed by the multi-talented Melissa Western and her hot jazz band, “The Roaring Twenties” is an immersive cabaret-style production featuring an authentic twenties sound with an Australian finish.
If you’d like to join the show, simply register to audition, either in person or with a video submission. Old, young, solo and group performances welcome.
