401 - The Hills Are Alive With The Sound Of Theatre

It takes a family to raise a theatre company, so we gathered Stirling Players family members, Erik Strauts, Bronwyn Chapple, Anita Zamberlan Canala, and Probir Dutt, to take is into some of its rich heritage and interesting moments.

The SA Drink of the Week is from Howard Vineyard, which supports the work of Stirling Players.

And in the Musical Pilgrimage, we hear an original composition by Stirling Players committee member, Probir Dutt.

Running Sheet: The Hills Are Alive With The Sound Of Theatre

00:00:00 Intro

Introduction

00:02:20 SA Drink Of The Week

The SA Drink Of The Week this week is a 2022 Shiraz from Howard Vineyard.

For the record, the General Manager and Head Winemaker at Howard Vineyard, Tom Northcott, was a guest in episode 161 A Night At The Manchen, and his 2010 Amos Cabernet Franc was our SA Drink Of The Year in 2013.

00:07:50 From The Stirling Players – Erik Strauts, Bronwyn Chapple, Anita Zamberlan Canala, and Probir Dutt

The Stirling Players is a prominent amateur theatre group based in the Adelaide Hills, with a rich history marked by significant achievements and contributions to the local arts scene. As the group approaches opening night of its first ever “cross species” production, a play called Sylvia about the relationship between a man and his dog and the rift that creates in the relationship with his human wife, we’ve gathered backstage while people scurry about us, bumping in the set and running some of the final rehearsals. To take the story of Stirling Players out for walkies, we have the director of Sylvia, Erik Strauts, committee member and theatre stalwart, Bronwyn Chapple, actor who plays Kate in Sylvia, Anita Zamberlan Canala, and fellow committee member and composer, Probir Dutt.

Sylvia runs September 13-28, 2024. Tickets here.
