The now grown up and up-and-coming professional actors from SHYAC in its 29th year since its founding, is embarking on a never-before-seen work from Southern Highlands young writer David Bermingham.
David who is 21 years of age has written a mighty, fun and uncompromising exposure of the under belly of the young adults culture in our rural hills.
Comfortable, self-satisfied and happy with its situation, life in the Southern Highlands is not always as cosy as it may seem. Not always a bouquet of roses, rather a bouquet of barbed wire.
Roulette is a new play that is being work-shopped, from the perspective of 18 to 20 somethings.
Young in age, but this new play exposes the underbelly of our often self-satisfied lives and presents a view that may alarm, certainly enlighten and bring out laughter at how a younger generation view themselves and their region as either a death trap or something to be embraced.
The show is directed by multi award winning Dave Letch and produced by Manager of SHYAC Mandy Bransgrove.
Roulette follows six friends who are at a cross roads and times are a-changing. Friends since high school, they are now questioning their lives and friendships and their place on the world stage, let alone being in the comfort of the Southern Highlands.
Some it may suit, others it is just a habit. The problems are formidable, the good times are hilarious and under the microscope truthful.
David Bermingham has written a play that observes all with an eye that opens bare that not all may be well in the younger generation.
Roulette breaks boundaries. It has a cast of brilliance and is a dynamic move from SHYAC to smash the mould and provide a platform to give a voice to the next wave of theatre creators.
Roulette is an exciting, bravely dangerous and fun-filled. With a soundtrack from the crazy world of a karaoke bar in Moss Vale - the location for the play.
There is singing, boogy-ing punching, loving and leaving.
Roulette isn't for the little ones - it's a very grown up play and should be seen by an audience 14+ young, old and in-between.
Roulette takes the magnifying glass to our more-than-often unseen younger culture.
The staged public reading of Roulette will be held at the Hill Top War Memorial Hall on Sunday April 19 at 2 pm.
Tickets are available at the Welcome Centre in Mittagong: 4871 2888 and the Hill Top General Store and cost $10.
Limited tickets at the door.
Refreshments are available after the reading before a Q and A session with the cast, director, producer and, most importantly the writer.
Don't miss this one: it's a voice we've never heard from before.
All proceeds from refreshments to go to the Hill Top War Memorial Hall to keep the hall alive and flourishing.
