Jo performs

Jo spreads herself a little thinly being in two performing arts groups, so she is often relegated to minor roles, as she was in this show at Hawthorn Town Hall. However she did a lot of writing of the quite good original musical. Two weeks late in her other school performing group she had a bigger role.

I was so impressed by the lighting of the town hall.

And if you take away the squiggly stage lighting from the ceiling, it wasn't bad too.


I'm not so keen on the art deco interior lights being blue.

  3. Jo is definitely multi-talented which should stand her in good stead later.

    1. EC, yet still her social skills are wanting. But she is a 16 year old teen.

    1. Bob, perhaps better than being white and full of dead moths.

    1. Oh wow, Roentare. It was very different 32 years ago, as it was when I went there dancing there forty odd years ago.

    1. Ever so much better than the sandy colour it was once painted.

  7. I love the wedding cake look of the old town halls. I don't mind the blue lights but I wouldn't want to live with them.

  9. We are not used to seeing blue light shades I suppose, they are certainly different.
    The lighting certainly shows what the tower looks like, it's very nice Andrew.

    1. For sure TP. It is a high point and there must be an interesting clock mechanism.

  17. 16 is such a tricky age, I had some stagework then and I felt extraordinarly lonely and self conscious and thought nobody understood me apart from the director. She sounds very talented.
