Uniting Productions will hold a preview of three short plays bound for the Norfolk Island Short Plays Festival on September 14.

The preview will take place at 2pm and 8pm at the Uniting Church Hall in Donnison St, Gosford.

The first play is Allocateeism by Paul Bucci.

It’s about a pensioner couple living comfortably in their own home who receive an unexpected visitor with some disturbing news.

Directed by Robyn Weidlich it features Angie Bain, Laszlo Weidlich, Cathy De Vries, Julie Bailey and John Czerneicki.

Monologue by Sal Bartley is the second play.

It asks all of life‘s important questions.

If plays are pre-cast why do we have auditions?

Should you always prepare a monologue for the audition?

Can a theatre group have too many females of “a certain age”?

Cast members are Sal Bartley, Cathy De Vries and John Czerneicki.

The play is directed by Ron Baker and sponsored by Wyong Drama Group.

The third play, also by Sal Bartley, is It’s Complicated – winner of several awards at the 2024 Wyong Drama Group Festival.

Mothers daughters and sisters are bound by history, love and trauma but maybe what we don’t say is more important than what we do say.

Directed by Debi Clarke the play features Sal Bartley, Julie Bailey and Helen Herridge and is sponsored by Wyong Drama Group.
