MEET THE CAST
JULIA LOANEY - DOATSY MAE, the waitress.
Julia has been a passionate member of Coolum Theatre Players since 2003, having served on the committee from the outset, then as President and Publicist, whilst also appearing in numerous musicals, cabaret productions, pantos and plays.
She humbly accepted Life Membership in 2017 and the Volunteer of the Year at the 2018 Coolum Lions Club Australia Day Awards.
Julia jokes that while it painstakingly took time and buckets of makeup for her to look the part of the 102 year old grandma in The Addams Family, no amount of makeup was going to make her look like a 22 year old whore in The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas!!
So she’s delighted that there’s the role of Doatsy Mae, the waitress, suitable for her because she absolutely loves working under Jennifer Rousset’s direction.
Julia now resides in Peregian Springs and she also loves “harmonising” every Thursday morning with the luscious voices that make up Cool Harmonies community choir. These community involvements along with walking, crosswords, jigsaw puzzles, gardening and some travel, fulfil her life with husband Noel.
You need to BOOK NOW to be part of the musical magic, comedy, fun and heartfelt moments of this amazing musical story.

MEET THE CAST
MICHAEL HEALY - SHERIFF ED EARL DODD
Michael started in amateur theatre in 1980 at Lind Lane Theatre (now The Lind). He spent three years with the theatre working on various productions both on and off-stage before leaving to sing in showbands.
Michael returned to the Sunshine Coast theatre scene in 2007 in Eumundi Independent Theatre’s production of Bronhill Encore.
He has worked with various theatre groups on the Coast in singing and acting roles. Past productions with Coolum Theatre Players include the role of P.T. Barnum in Barnum! The Musical (2009) and directing the comedy film noir musical Adrift In Macao (2013).
He is excited to be playing the Sheriff for the second time around.
One of his favourite lines from the show (one of many): “There are some folks it just won’t do to fart with…and I’m one of them!”
Michael has been living in Nambour since 1978 and he manages a plant production nursery.
He also works part-time as an Educator in Outside School Hours Care
Another fun fact, he is also a Branch Instructor for Rhee TaeKwon-Do in Tewantin!

MEET THE CAST
DEREK SILK – GOVERNOR OF TEXAS
Although primarily a singer Derek says he stumbled into things theatrical 25 years ago in London when he played the obviously vital role of 3rd pig in a local production of Godspell. He says he was lucky over the ensuing years to play many roles as diverse as romantic leads in Gilbert & Sullivan and Offenbach to the old codger Le Clerc in the farce 'Allo 'Allo.
After emigrating from the UK to the Sunshine Coast in 2010 Derek joined the Caloundra Chorale and Theatre Company and has performed in a number of concerts and shows there. He is also part of a small group from CCTC that regularly entertains the residents at Age Care Homes in the Caloundra area. "This is something I love doing and it's wonderful seeing the response from people as we sing," Derek says.
Doing Best Little Whorehouse in Texas with the Coolum Theatre Players is the first time he's ventured north for a production and he says it's been great fun fitting in with a new group of talented people. He is very much looking forward to playing the role of the duplicitous and hypocritical Governor of Texas when the show opens in July.
He notes that there are many memorable songs in the show that the cast hope will leave a lasting impression with the audiences, but insists he will never again hear the word “giblets” without a smile forming on his face!
"When I'm not doing this kind of thing I'll probably be found trying to persuade the plants in our garden in Pelican Waters that they really don't need to take over the world!"

AMANDA ZINN, “Jewell” in “Best Little Whorehouse in Texas”
Amanda’s passion for musical theatre commenced at an early age. Having studied classical ballet and singing, Amanda successfully auditioned for the Brisbane Light Opera Company at the age of 18. Amanda was also involved in many shows with other Brisbane companies such as Savoyards, Shoestring Company and Ignatians during the 1980’s.
Amanda joined Phoenix Ensemble at Beenleigh after moving to Logan City in 1990. Her most notable achievements with Phoenix were the roles of Lily in “The Secret Garden”, Laurie in Oklahoma, Katie Brown in “Calamity Jane”, Dorothy in “Stepping Out and Maggie Winslow in “A Chorus Line”.
After moving to the Sunshine Coast in late 2006, Amanda joined the Caloundra Chorale and Theatre Company (CCTC) and has performed in lead and supporting roles in many of their productions including Truvy in “Steel Magnolias”, Ruth in “Calendar Girls” and Sister Mary Leo in “Nunsense”.
Amanda has also worked with BATS in Buderim, appearing as Daydreams in “Senses Working Overtime” written by a Sunshine Coast local. This play was awarded Best Overall Play as part of the Festival and Amanda’s performance was acknowledged by the adjudicator.
Amanda lives in the Little Mountain (Caloundra) area. She works full time and says she loves enjoying the Sunshine Coast lifestyle with her wonderful husband and three children and extended family.
