With the month of May here it's finally setting in that our fabulous show is going to hit the stage in a matter of weeks! HAC is back and we couldn't be happier. All of the craziness that is the last few weeks before opening night is well and truly underway as our fantastic cast, crew and creative team work around the clock to finalise and polish our show. We are so thankful to all of the local businesses who have shown their support by sponsoring us for this production season, we can't do it without you.

If you haven't booked your tickets yet please head to the Horsham Town Hall website, or walk in to purchase directly form the box office. We are thrilled that restrictions no longer limit the number of seats we are able to sell so naturally we would love to see all of those seats filled for every show. 

We have had quite a bit happen amongst out HAC family over the past few months so please take some time to read through and catch up on all things HAC.

Back in 2020, we were shattered that “Broadway Showcase” had to be cancelled. We had rehearsed for over two months, and everything was going so well. Damn you COVID-19!!! However, we are so excited to advise that it has been re-born and “Broadway Showcase” – TAKE 2 – has new legs. It will hit the Horsham Town Hall stage for six performances from Wednesday 18 May 2022 to Sunday 22 May 2022. It is a concert-styled show featuring performances from approximately 24 musicals and is directed by HAC life member and stalwart Debbie Boutcher.
After online auditions and a few call-backs, the creative team made many tough decisions and arrived at a cast of 27 amazingly talented performers of all ages, experiences and walks of life.  It has been great to see everyone together in one space, belting out some great tunes and enjoying each other’s company.
With only 2 weeks or so to opening night, there is a lot of work to be done in a short amount of time. However, everyone is keen, excited and ready to put their best foot forward.

Tickets are on sale and there are special prices for families
and HAC members. This is sure to be a show that the whole family can enjoy. So, get in early and book those seats. We
would love to see you there supporting local theatre once more.

Aaaand we are off! The journey for shows in 2022 is now well underway- with auditions, callbacks, casting and first full cast rehearsal done and dusted for the revamped Broadway Showcase. With a smaller cast and some different numbers to take into account the cast differences, HAC is back. It was such a great feeling to walk into HAC house and to hear the sound of voices in song and laughter as we got back to doing what we love so much.
There are some new faces and some returning faces after a break. Keep an eye out for when tickets go on sale, the joy our wonderful cast and crew will bring to the HTH stage after a 2 year break will be undeniable
Rehearsals are in full swing and things are getting finished off. What is clear is the absolute joy and energy that the cast is bringing to each rehearsal. What is coming together is going to be a smorgas board of musical moments that all the family can enjoy.
In the last couple of years, many of our HAC family have had additions arrive to their own families. We congratulate them all and look forward to seeing them grow up surrounded by theatre. Weddings have also abounded and is has been lovely to see snippets of those celebrations on social media. And we have lost dear past members, and we extend our sincere condolences to their loved ones.
Most of all we are also looking forward to what the rest of the year holds for us. What it looks like has not yet been decided, but we know that with the energy and excitement of getting to bringing local theatre back, in any form, whatever the next 8 months will look like, there will be colour, joy and talent abounding. Tickets for the Broadway Showcase are on sale, so grab some soon and get ready to enjoy the ride.
So keep your eyes out for show announcements, buy those tickets when they open for sale, support, your friends, family and the next-door neighbours who may take the plunge and have a crack at auditioning and performing this year. It is both terrifying and exhilarating. And come and celebrate with us - theatre is back and HAC is back.
