Chris White All of us – audience, committee, cast, crew, production For the Direction Team team, front of house and all our volunteers – are beginning a new chapter in the life of CLOC Musical Theatre, starting tonight with our performance of Dusty, fittingly a premiere production for our new location. Co-written by CLOC’s Patron, John-Michael Howson OAM, who previously wrote SHOUT! (so successfully mounted by CLOC in 2007), Dusty provides a wonderful opportunity to showcase what CLOC does so well – gather the highest standard of talent onstage, support them with a first class production team, a professional and superlative crew par excellence, and back them up with a loyal and dedicated group of backstage, front of house and administrative volunteers. So sit back and enjoy, sing and hum along with the nearly 30 familiar and well loved songs which you are about to hear, clap, tap your feet and if that is not enough, feel free to get up and dance in the aisles. We feel sure by the end of the mighty megamix that closes the show, you will not be able to restrain yourselves from doing just that. And why not? CLOC is wishin’ and hopin’ you will be dancin’ in the street, we only want to be with you, so stay awhile for this show, for our next show and for many many future successful years for CLOC at The Nash.
