When you hear or read the term, “children’s magician”, what comes to mind?
I think of a middle-aged man in a clown suit or an outfit that possibly includes a plastic top hat and a polka-dot bow tie that he obtained at a party hire shop. He does tricks with cups and balls, sponge animals, playing cards, linking rings, balloons, pieces of rope and plucks coins from behind ears. He says the magic words, blows on his hand, sprinkles the magic dust, snaps his fingers, sucks air though closed teeth while ..read more

Reviewed by Ron Lee, CSP
We’re all familiar with The Odd Couple television series that ran from 1970 to 1975. Felix Unger, an anally-retentive, fastidious neat freak, is thrown out of the marital home and is taken in by poker buddy, Oscar Madison, who is not exactly house-proud.
The premise might have inspired the twelve seasons of Two and a Half Men.
So is a concept that was created by Neil Simon exactly sixty years ago relevant to today’s society, or would it be considered to be a q ..read more

In the 1980s The Performance Space staged some strange and innovative productions that included one that involved the importation of 15 tonnes of sand for the set. Then it became the Giant Dwarf Theatre which was basically an improv school.
The latest incarnation at 199 Cleveland Street, Surry Hills is The Grand Electric which is backing up its last show with the compellingly delicious mix of cabaret, music, dance, circus, acrobatics, decadence and fi ..read more

It was standing room only in the packed Sydney Spiegeltent for the opening of Bernie Dieter's Club Kabarett. The uninhibited debauchery and freedom of 1930s Berlin cabaret is alive.
Bernie, the ultimate cabaret artiste and EmCee, is a combination of Joel Gray from the musical Cabaret, Carlotta, Frank 'N' Furter and former Cabaret Conspiracy singer Boom Boom La Bern. Bernie ..read more

It’s 1949 in Brooklyn, and Willie Loman is an old-school salesman in a hat and a brown suit. He is in his sixties and has been pounding the pavements and the roads for decades but progress has overtaken him. He thinks that he still has the chops for it but his last 700 mile sales trip resulted in no conversions. He has been more a journeyman than a hotshot salesman and his mediocre career is fizzling out.
Willie is proud, opiniona ..read more
