Former SOACT member Sam Moran has been called up for international Yellow Wiggle duty due to sickness to Greg. Sam was a member of SOACT in the early 1990's and performed in a cabaret show at Dallows in Kincaid Street, in which he tap danced in his role. Hail the Wagga Wagga Wiggle Wiggle.
Stepping Out into the Playhouse
SOACT has made a triumphant return to the Riverina Playhouse with Richard Harris highly entertaining show "Stepping Out". After a short tour around the Riverina, SOACT bumped into the Playhouse for the first time since 1997.
"I am thrilled that SOACT is back in the Playhouse" says director Fay Walters, "it is a wonderful space to work in, and this will give our members great experience, both actors and crew."
Fingers Crossed for a CAT Award
All the members of SOACT have their fingers crossed that one of our illustrious members, or lets hope more than one, receive a CAT Award for their efforts in three of SOACT's 2006 productions.
The CAT Awards, Canberra Area Theatre Awards, which has been going since 1995, doesn't just award actors. In 2003 SOACT received two awards, both for it's Dimboola production, Peter Buckley for best new talent, and for Best Costume Design - a real feather in the cap (pardon the pun) for SOACT's costume department.
Dein Perry taps into Wagga
The creator of the world reknown "Tap Dogs" lead more than 120 tappers of all ages through a number of routines at Wagga's very first tap-a-thon.
