QOS Reader in Play
If you are around the Sunshine Coast, come and see it. Lind Lane Theatre (in Mitchell Street, Nambour) is a great little theatre with a fantastic stage - its also BYO drinks for interval and after.

The set for this play is quite special and its a good Australian drama - set in the mid-nineties. I have a small cameo in it, but its a good part.

Looking forward to seeing you there.
Kind Regards,
Adam Freeman

"I got in!! Whoo! hahaha! I got in the ensemble and the role of Ripper, the skater dude
that secretly plays the cello, so I get a little solo singing part and a few lines too. Thanks
heaps for all your help and support! Now you have the bragging rights to go tell all your
friends that I'm in[High School Musical] haha." D Raso
"BJ really enjoyed your workshop and has certainly gained much insight on auditions
