MAREEBA Youth Theatre will be bringing their second ever production to the stage as they present the wacky comedy adventure Unnecessary Farce. 

Following the story of two cops, two crooks, two bystanders and eight doors it is a comedy adventure riddled with intrigue, bribing, bagpipes and underwear.

Director Michael Bryce is excited to be able to bring his second production to life with a host of young talented actors. 

“This is our second year running a play specifically for our youth members, these young actors have the talent and dedication to do any role justice, but it can be hard for them to break into the senior group,” he said.

“Our younger members have been able to get bit parts in our senior performances and have done a terrific job, but they didn't always get the roles that they could really get their teeth into. 

“We felt that they needed an opportunity to star, to be the leads.”

With a cast full of young actors none above the age of 23 and some as young as 14 there is a welcome mix of young eagerness steered by tried and tested theatre experience. 

“These people are the future of our club and anyone who saw last year's play will know that the future is in good hands,” Michael said.

“There have been some challenges, as has become typical in our pandemic affected world, but we are looking forward to putting on a great show once more. 

“We are glad to be able to provide some much-needed entertainment and comic relief for Tableland audiences.” 

Please note this is a M15+ show. Tickets can be purchased at www.trybooking. com/BSPPI
