Latest news about "Murder's in the Heir"
Let's give a big shoutout to PAIGE FALLU!
The Coolum teen has landed a place in the prestigious musical theatre program at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA)
Coolum Theatre Players is SO proud of you Paige, having followed your journey for the past few years.
Many of you will remember that Paige was the winner of the CTP Bursary of $1,000 in 2017. You can see her here pictured with Noel and Julia Loaney and her drama teacher, Emma Clarke.
Paige spread her bursary across three opportunities to fuel her musical theatre dream.
Firstly, she undertook a Brisbane-based musical theatre course called "Broadway Bound" held in January last year, hosted by Underground Broadway.
In April she booked into an Audition Masterclass in Brisbane, presented by WAAPA.
And finally, she undertook a performing arts musical theatre audition workshop at Griffith University.
As you can see from the recent cover of the Coolum & North Shore News, Paige's hard work has paid off!
Congratulations Paige, we are all very thrilled with your news and wish you EVERY success with your musical theatre future.
Congratulations Paige! You Superstar! X
That’s so exciting for Paige and bravo CTP for your generous support of the Coast’s youth👏👏👏
Congratulations, and best wishes for your future.
Thank you so much for all your support in the past few years! The bursary was a huge help and I felt so honoured to be awarded it! Thank you again!
Thank you Coolum town for all the support our beautiful daughter Paige has received

Six performances in March 2019
Written by Billy St John
Directed by Michael Healy
Roles for SIX males EIGHT females and an usher and ..... it's going to be huge FUN!
Be prepared to be quick on your feet because this play is very unique. Each performance will be different because the audience determines the outcome!
PLOT:
Tyrannical billionaire Simon Starkweather gathers his family and employees to announce the contents of his will but then his lawyer delivers a bombshell - within hours this will becomes invalid.
Of course, the rejected heirs are not pleased and soon afterwards, a murder takes place!

Almost every character in this hilarious mystery has the weapon, opportunity and motive.
However, here's the twist - it’s up to the audience to decide WHO actually did it!

Simon Starkweather - a billionaire, tyrannical
Fiona Starkweather - his niece by marriage, befuddled
Jordan Starkweather - his great-nephew, Fiona's son, a playboy

Simon Starkweather 111 - his grandson, a college student (played by the same actor who plays Simon senior)
The staff
Bensonhurst - the butler, formal
Mrs Trent - the housekeeper, dour
Minerva Walker - the cook, temperamental
Nancy Pollard - the maid, shy
Rufus Jones - the handyman, surly
The professionals
Lois Van Zandt - a lawyer, professional

Men - we need YOU
Last night's first audition for Murder's in the Heir was fantastic. Lots of great talent, some newbies and some familiar faces, however, ALL were lovely ladies. No men!

Here's a few snaps from last night's first audition with director Michael Healy.
Some warm-ups with Kevin Blair to settle anyone's nerves and photos with Jen so we all know who's who.
It's going to be a hugely FUN rehearsal period and a truly fun and funny show. Performances in March!
Final audition Wed night Jan 9th at 7pm.
PS: can't make it? Contact director Michael Healy at mick_sings@yahoo.com.au and he will arrange an alternate time for you.

Director
Great to have you back in the director’s chair for CTP, Michael. It’s going to be a fun show.
Today a member of our CTP family had her final curtain call. It was a wonderful service, full of emotion and heartache. We will all miss you, dear Meg (though I never called you anything but Margaret). Rest peacefully now.

SAD NEWS
Sad news for CTP members this weekend. Margaret Cheesman passed away 3.45am on Friday morning, January 11th.
Margaret (Meg) was CTP's treasurer and FOH manager for several years from about 2009 - 13
Margaret was always happy to put her CTP shirt on and represent the theatre where and whenever needed. She is pictured here at the 2013 Sunshine Coast theatre festival.
Deepest Sympathy and love to her husband Terry and son Trevor.
*******
SENDING LOVE AND PRAYERS
We are also sending love and prayers to our life member and patron of Coolum Theatre Players, Beryl Keogh, who was admitted to the acute pain ward in Greenslopes Private Hospital on Tuesday night after a bad fall.
Her injuries are extensive - 5 fractured ribs, lacerations on both arms, muscle injury to her right shoulder and general bruising.
No visits are to be made at this stage, she is currently on high end doses of pain relief, and daughter Lorelle asks only for your thoughts and prayers for Beryl for her pain relief and recovery.
My deepest sympathy. Prayers for Margaret and for Beryl.
so shocked. also love to Terry and Trevor. You have lost a mighty lady but have been blessed with her as a wife and mum. xxx
so sad. To Margaret's family, she was so loved. Ohh, and Beryl, beautiful Beryl. My heart breaks. Thoughts and prayers from Robin Fleming and myself. Beryl and Robin are great mates and she walked to his 60th at the bowls club in 2017 and gave him biscuits as a present - cause she knew everyone else would buy rum. xxx I am sure Robin will pay more tributes when he gets home.
Rest In Peace Cheeso. Sad news indeed. Get well soon Beryl. Sending you healing vibes & prayers 🙏
R.I.P Margaret. Condolences to Terry and the family.
A few of our favourites are in here, how about you?
