The Crows of Darkmoor Common / Tracks

11-27 October, 2024

Tracks – Written by Peter Tarsi, Directed by Jonathan Canning

Ten strangers find themselves at a subway station, they have no idea of how they got there or where they are going…

Journey Beyond Life’s Last Station. Uncover the secrets, confront your past, and choose your platform – Heaven or Hell? The ultimate decision awaits as the train of fate arrives. All aboard for a gripping exploration of life, death, and the unknown.

The Crows of Darkmoor Common Directed by Jonathan Dunn

Welcome to Darkmoor, a comically dystopian world with steam punk vibes. In this odd 1860s setting, all words are banned for their ‘toxic effect’ on well-being. Amidst a diabolical plot to steal golden eggs from Ninja Nuns (Darkmoor Crows), an anti-hero and a heroine add romance to this unique theatrical nonsense. Get on board the express train to crazy-town in this all original, romp through the world of weird.

Auditions – Sunday 14 July, 10am – 2pm

Farewell to The Lovely Bones

A Box Office Success-The Lovely Bones

The time has come, to say, 'The End' and even thou the show has ended, we know, there's always more to come at Z-PAC Theatre

The Lovely Bones, was a highly successful show! We had sold out every show, which is great to receive such support from our community! We enjoy bringing you a variety of productions throughout the year, so please check our upcoming productions and ticket bookings are open on our website www.zpactheatre.com.au
The final curtain has fallen on The Lovely Bones, and now it's time to celebrate their success!

This is also, when suddenly the cast and crew realises, that’s it!, there are no more lines to be said, no more rehearsals, no more performances, it is simply, over! In community theatre, these actors, become more than a cast member, after months of rehearsals, they become a family.

There is no gradual ending, where you can wean yourself away from it. It is more of a very abrupt stop and maybe even crash. Congratulations to Director Tiffany Youngs, Co-Director Tim Holstein and the talented Cast & Crew!

Children of The Black Skirt

Book your Tickets NOW!

Children of the Black Skirt

9-25 August, 2024

Written by Angela Belzien, directed by Katanee Draheim

This story takes place in a mythical, timeless Australian orphanage.

Two orphan children, Old One and New One, are always wary of The Black Skirt (the cruel Governess who floats up and down the dormitory corridors, dangerously wielding her enormous scissors), and tell terrible tales of other poor lost children to escape the reality of their own lives.

The play delves into the history of Australia through the eyes of children, from convict times to early white occupation, to the vast era of the Stolen Generation to World War Two and beyond. These actors create a highly theatrical, physical and visually spectacular gothic fairytale, as they slip in and out of the perspectives of different characters to tell us the tales of children from Australia’s past.

Tickets are available online, www.zpactheatre.com.au or call our Secretary Helen, for group bookings on 0427 225 008 Email: bookings@zpactheatre.com.au

National Volunteers Week 20th-26th May 2024

A spotlight on our Volunteers!

Spotlight on our Volunteers!

Z-PAC is a community-based theatre since 1964 and it's run by volunteers, producing a number of quality productions each year! During National Volunteers Week, we focused on our many volunteers, who provide essential support and work behind the scenes. These include our Crew Construction Team, Marketing & Promotions Team, Stage, Light & Sound Technicians and our Committee Members! We also recognise our performers and directors, stage mangers and cast members, for all their dedication to The Arts! All performers are volunteers!

You don't have to be an actor to join as a Volunteer, we have local actors, directors, technical and support staff and we regularly have open auditions, for all levels of experience. Please visit our website to apply, www.zpactheatre.com.au 'Select-Join Us' or keep posted for 'Auditions', next is 14th July for Two One Act Plays, audition packs will be available closer to the date.
