NESBITT FOR PRESIDENT
(3 plays - 1 rib-tickling story)
Monkton B. Nesbitt saw nothing wrong with power, as long as he had it and this was a man with absolutely no beginning to his talents.
In public life there are four possible achievable power-base levels, prime minister of a country, premier of a state, mayor of a region and Monkton's territory, president of a community group.
Monkton B. Nesbitt firmly believed that nominating yet again for president was a bit like running a cemetery, though there were people under him, nobody would try to rise up.
He'd held the position for twenty-four years and he looked a shoo-in to make it twenty-five and set a record. It was at this point that his wheels fell off.
Nesbitt for President is the laugh-packed Comedy & Consomme, winter dinner show, opening Friday 10th July for two weekends at The Indee. The laugh-delivering cast includes Debbie Pitura, Luke Lanham, Jerri Lee, Rita Walker, Marion Johnson, Kate Cullen, Lindley Moon, Ruth Williams, Georgia Lee Leslie and Anita Tilly.

INDEE NEWS
FROM THE BIO BOX - John Burls
In my early radio days I was horrified to find that the boss of a music station, for which I'd been hired to help build the ratings, had obviously inhaled. He'd signed an old-time ventriloquist to work on air. It failed to connect which probably stopped him from signing jugglers or a slack-wire act.
This memory came back when we decided to re-create the era of radio drama, by staging The Maltese Falcon as a live theatre offering. Would it work? It certainly did and the Lux Radio Theatre audiences approved heartily. The Indee acting team blended beautifully with our guest radio personalities. John Stokes (ABC Coast FM Breakfast Presenter) was a suitably evil Joel Cairo. Nathan Evans (4GY Weekend Breakfast) was a NY cop and a nasty gunman and Bob Stuart (ABC Coast FM) played a NY detective, the DA and the aduiences absolutely love his super old-time, plummy radio announcer doing the Lux commercials.
Special mention should be made of Josh Bird, a student at Noosa High, studying drama. Josh has worked on a number of productions with The Indee, but never, of course, with "live" sound effects. He did a simply superb job of opening and closing doors, firing bullets and dropping bodies to the ground, via a sack of potatoes.
Sadly the Falcon was the last acting appearance on the Coast for Carine Bail. She and husband Dan have decided to head for the hills. The hills being in Adelaide. She's been a tremendous asset to the Indee and, like all our team, a pleasure to work with.
The next question was would I Can't Believe It's Not Opera! work? The full house and audience feedback gave a resounding yes.
The Indee AGM was held on June 15th and the executive committee comprises yours truly (Pres), Luke Lanham (Vic Pres), Noelene Rudd (Secretary), John Barnett (Treasurer) and Carol Burls (Theatre Manager).
