We've all seen them (we've all done them) and this show has them all!!
We have built a reputation on our work with music, however mostly due to financial constraints and other factors, this has primarily been with recorded sound. Projects like this has helped us connect with musicians and build the capacity of the company to extend the use of live music moving forward.
Working with the Townsville Civic Theatre staff on a production is also something we have enjoyed the opportunity to develop our working relationship with them. We would love to continue our relationship with these creatives. These are the best technicians in our community but rarely have time to work outside their own venue, so the ability for TheatreiNQ to work within their venue is imperitive to be able to put all the professional creatives in town working together to create the absolute best offerings our town can produce.
