The inaugural Theatre Sports Championships will be held at the Deniliquin Club on Friday 15 June from 6.30pm and is open to all. Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for school age children and pre-school children are free.

A band of brave locals will need to be quick on their feet when they compete for the title of the inaugural Outback Theatre for Young People Theatre Sports Champions next month.

Theatre Sports is a fast-paced form of improvisational theatre that uses competition and audience suggestion for dramatic effect. The results are often hilarious and always entertaining.

Outback Theatre for Young People Artistic Director Alex Walker, the Director of last year’s highly successful Deniliquin staging of “Debs”, will be returning to Deniliquin to host the night.

“I am so excited to be coming back to Deniliquin to host such an exciting and entertaining event,” Ms Walker said.

“Theatre Sports is so much fun and I’m looking forward to working with the local teams, many of whom have been involved in past Outback Theatre projects.

“To be good at Theatre Sports, you don’t have to be a great actor, you just have to be able to think on your feet and think outside the box.

“The teams will have fun and so will the audience because I will make sure they all have a good laugh. It is great family entertainment,” she said.

Theatre Sports sees teams given situations, often suggested by the audience, and are marked on how well they adhere to the rules of the game, entertainment value and presentation.
