Julie Vellacott says that being a director is one of the biggest challenges she’s faced.

She is a huge Noël Coward fan and even published a book about “Food and Noel Coward”.

“I wanted to pay tribute to Noël Coward who has been part of my life since a child singing his songs with my brother and friends around the piano,” Julie says.

Julie has been encouraging others to appreciate his work via the Boonah Playmakers.

“Some of them had never heard of the multi-talented playwright, actor, composer, writer etc., but I think it’s safe to say they are enjoying the experience. Blithe Spirit seemed the obvious choice - fun, witty and just the right number of performers required.”

Julie’s great love is the theatre, along with music and film. She’s also passionate about reading and writing, having written various short stories and articles. She also enjoys cooking, which has been part of her professional life too.

Julie, also the President of the Boonah & District Cultural Foundation, has been on stage and behind the scenes many times and attends as much theatre as she can manage. Her experience as an events manager has also helped her to be organised and embark on directing.

“Having a great support team of actors and crew is a wonderful thing and I’m very thankful for them all,” she says.

We thank Julie for immersing us in the wit and wisdom of Noël Coward and trust the audience is going to enjoy the show as much as we are.

Linda is playing Mrs Bradman, friend of the Condomines and the mother of Doctor Bradman.

Linda describes her character as a “bit ditzy” and “not exactly seeking a career in neurosurgery or astrophysics”.

“Mrs Bradman often seems to have a way with words – the wrong way!” Linda says.

After a 10-year hiatus, she says it's wonderful to be once again interacting with other members of the local community.

“The cast and crew all have a great sense of humour and rehearsals tend to leave me feeling quite buoyant afterwards,” Linda says.

Linda has been a music industry professional (vocalist and multi-instrumentalist) from the 1970s until serious injuries in 2016 made it impossible to perform.

She is currently working as Musical Director and Producer at Studio 446, as well as A&R Manager with Blue-Kat Records.

Outside of making music, Linda enjoys cooking up a storm when the opportunity arises. She’s also a self-described “chronic reader” and Lauren Bacall tragic.

We reckon you’ll enjoy Linda's beautiful husky voice and her cheeky sense of humour which sneaks through in her character.

Catch her at the Boonah Cultural Centre. Book here: https://creativescenicrim.com/event/34294838-a/blithe-spirit-by-noel-coward

The theatre is a special experience. 💚

It brings people together for a shared moment of connection to other people and situations. Each performance unique, fleeting and only for those in the room - like a ghost!

Live theatre for mum 😍

So many of the mums we know say they have more than enough “stuff” and they truly value special experiences with family. ��Why not buy tickets to a live performance of Blithe Spirit for Mother’s Day. 😊

On the Friday you can enjoy dinner beforehand at one of our local restaurants. Or, for the Saturday matinee why not visit the art gallery next door and grab something delicious at one of our great local cafes beforehand and make a day of it.

The bar at the Boonah Cultural Centre opens an hour before the show.
