Cosi: ‘A wonderful rollercoaster’

CPP Community Theatre

Cosi

Set in a psychiatric facility, Cosi is a play about friendship, romance, community and difference.

It’s 1971 and Australia is protesting the war in Vietnam.

But inside the facility, the resident patients are listening to Mozart, learning their lines and occasionally skipping their medication – it’s art, it’s mayhem.

It’s a wonderful roller coaster all the way to opening might.

CPP Community Theatre will be holding an information night, where you can come along to meet the director, hear about the vision for the production, partake in some readings of the script and sign up for an audition.

It’s highly recommended that you attend if you are interested in auditioning for Cosi, as this is the start of the Company’s audition process.

Even if you are not planning to audition, come along anyway – there are plenty of other ways to get involved.
