McAuley teacher returning to the Brisbane Stage!
Mr Conaghan, our Leader of Learning for Creative Arts and Languages, is returning to the Brisbane professional stage for one night this May!
21 years ago, he performed the lead role in the world premiere of Zigzag St. by Philip Dean. This Australian play was the very first production for La Boite Theatre in the newly built Roundhouse Theatre in Brisbane. This year, La Boite is celebrating its 100th birthday with a series of one off play readings of ten iconic plays from their long history.
In The La Boite Encore Play Reading Series, actors take the stage with scripts in hand, bringing landmark plays to life through dynamic, varied, polished performances. While not full productions, these readings are set to be a lively celebration of theatre in its rawest form and a tribute to the plays that have shaped La Boite through the years.
Mr Conaghan says he is very lucky to have this learning opportunity to reconnect with the professional theatre landscape and some of the highly skilled artists that create Australia’s theatre culture.
He’s also happy to share this daggy pic of the original poster from 2004!
