It will be an exciting first for The Art House on May 17 and 18 with the showing of Flat Pack, a new and engaging one-woman show that will both delight and tug at the heartstrings.
It is the first produced work fully supported by The Art House Creatives program, from concept, through development and onto the stage to tell the emotional story of a daughter having to pack up her father’s life as his dementia worsens.
Flat Pack is a story that asks at what point do we become our parents’ parents, written, developed and performed by local artist Danielle Brame Whiting in collaboration with award-winning playwright and director Vanessa Bates, and multi-talented actress and movement director Angie Diaz.
The nostalgia, the guilt, the happy memories, and a piece of found furniture are what await audiences in this theatre drama.
Creator Danielle Brame Whiting said it was so exciting to have her work produced by The Art House, Wyong, and to be able to share the premiere of Flat Pack in the venue where her idea first found its support.
“The staff of The Art House are genuine flag bearers for the support and development of local artists, and I feel proud that my work is able to represent them,” she said.
Flat Pack is the pioneer production paving the future for The Art House as it seeks to cement its name among other great theatre producers such as Belvoir Street Theatre, and Hayes Theatre Co.
Witness this beautiful first production, created by extremely talented artists from the Central Coast as it makes its world premiere in The Art House studio on May 17 and 18 at 7.30pm.
