Variety, as they say, is the spice of life.
The popular proverb is the inspiration behind the much-anticipated ‘The Spice of Life’ Community Variety Show, which runs from November 7 to 10 at the Warkworth Town Hall.
Event coordinator and director Lee-Anne Scarth says ‘The Spice of Life’ will feature a rich mix of talent and offer a little something for everyone – from stunning performances to unexpected surprises.
Putting the “variety” in variety show is the fact it won’t just be the Warkworth Theatre Group stepping onto the stage – this year a call for performers went out to the local community via Facebook and the group’s newsletter.
“Normally we do a play, but we wanted to create a show that celebrates the wide range of talent in our community. Pretty much everybody was welcome,” Scarth says.
This means audiences can expect a diverse lineup of performers each bringing their own unique flair – everything from hip hop and high-energy dance numbers to poetry and side-splitting comedy sets.
“We’ve got a couple of people who have joined forces and created something different. We’ve got the Spice Boys, Smooth Dark Chocolate, the Jade River Ukes and the Razzler Dazzlers. We’ve got line dancing, some classical, right down to a good old sing-along.”
Scarth encourages people to support local businesses by grabbing some dinner in town beforehand and making a night of it.
“Then come along, grab a wine and enjoy some light-hearted entertainment,” she says.
“It promises to be an unforgettable evening.”
