What To Know About This Production
The Geelong Lyric Theatre Society (GLTS) is a community-based theatre company with a well-established reputation for presenting high quality and affordable Musical Theatre. The GLTS has been established for over 40 years. We aim to provide an accessible creative platform for both established and developing creatives and performers in our local region, which includes providing opportunities for first timers and experts alike. Traditionally, we have presented two full scale musical productions each year. We are more recently scaling back on our production output and opening-up our options to also incorporate smaller productions in alternate theatre spaces.
In keeping true to our Community Values we also intend to continue providing opportunities for a wide range of performers and creatives to participate in our productions. To this end, we are creating and staging ‘Wish Upon A Song”, a concert production celebrating some of the most well loved music of Disney. The program will consist of approximately 25 musical numbers over 2 Acts. It will not only provide for a sizeable cast of soloists and ensemble, but also feature an auditioned youth symphony orchestra on stage. Geelong Lyric are also thrilled to be partnering with the Geelong Youth Choir for this production. Both senior and junior choirs will join cast and orchestra on stage to ensure a spectacular concert experience for our audiences in May. Geelong Lyric are proud to be building this show from the ground up, including original orchestrations by Musical Director, Brad Treloar!
We are looking to cast up to 40 performers, including approximately a dozen under 16 years of age (age 10 and above).
The Geelong Lyric Theatre Society have staged many wonderful productions in Geelong over our 40-year history and some of our most recent productions include:
The Last 5 Years – 2019
· The award winning “Song Contest – The Almost Eurovision Experience”
· Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
· The Wizard of Oz
· Legally Blonde
