VOICES - The Carrical Project
| 
Candlelight Productions and Servants Community Housing proudly present…
VOICES: The Carrical Project, a collection of true stories exploring the tragic loss and debilitating stigma of mental illness and the creativity, character and hope that can spring out of it.
Based on true stories, VOICES is a theatre production about men with mental illness living in a rooming house in Hawthorn. The first season was so well received by the audience and industry that we are bringing it back for a second season in September 2011!

+SQUEAKY CLEAN COMEDY+ 2011...Melbourne Votes Yes!
|
People of Melbourne, you’ve proved that there’s a huge demand for clean comedy. Over 1800 of us doubled up and belly-laughed our way through Candlelight Productions' hit season of +SQUEAKY CLEAN COMEDY+.
Run over three weeks - Friday 8th and 15th and Saturday 23rd April - at the Melbourne Conference Centre, it was a night of sparkling wit for everyone (adults and families alike), without the need for the grimy stuff.
International stand-up whiz Dave Wiggins (USA/NZ) and nine of Australia’s best comedians fired out the gags as we rolled about in our seats.
The Aussie contingent included: Michael Connell, Jason Pestell, Mike Klimczak, Lach Ryan, Phil Andrews, Cam Semmens, Michael Tancredi, Beau Steggman and Luke Holt.
+SQUEAKY CLEAN COMEDY+ was possibly the only overtly clean comedy show in the festival aimed at adults (from over 300 shows). Thanks for your support and a big thankyou to all of the volunteers who made this amazing season possible.
Here's some of your feedback...
“Hilarious night... Cannot wait to bring more friends next year.”
“Love the show! ...My sides are sore and eyes weeping – you cracked me up!”
“Thank you – I brought my 17 year old granddaughter and we could both enjoy this together on our ‘night on the town’. Next year please.”
Meanwhile, we're already planning for next year's Comedy Festival. If you would like to be involved or know of someone who you think would be great on stage, now is the time to let us know! In particular, we welcome applications from females - we'd love to support you in the great work you do!

Garden of Delights

Candlelight Productions presents
Leng Te in

Garden of DelightsIs there a place where the forgotten things lay down to die? And what if when they reach this place, these things - hopes, dreams, people - find a place where they belong, giving them a second lease on life? Candlelight Productions spent nine months creating a full scale show to help to launch award-winning writer Leng Te's debut CD, Garden of Delights... Our audiences were invited to journey with us into a unique experience of music, poetry, drama and dance, a curated art exhibition and a gardening lesson. It was a kind of paradise - where for one night all the discarded and undervalued things of the world could find hope, value and purpose again. In line with the theme, the entire set was constructed largely out of discarded or recycled goods, to create a desolate junk yard which was transformed during the show into the Garden of Delights. The audience was also treated to garden-themed food, produced with love by our amazing hospitality team. Gingerbread cut flowers and cupcake blossoms were devoured by the hundreds and every person had the opportunity to bring home their very own "forgotten thing". The event was supported by the laid back tunes of the Jesse Mitchell band. Check them out if you ever get the chance! Garden of Delights CDs are available for sale at JLIB_HTML_CLOAKING . |
