ATC: FEATS Winners (31 Aug 2013)
Author Archives: Conrad
BLOC: Evita (28 Nov – 1 Dec 2013)
In the 1970s Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber combined in the writing of Evita, a rock opera based on the life of the iconic Eva Peron, wife of the Argentinian President, Juan Peron. It proved to be their most successful and thoughtful collaboration with music spanning latin-american, liturgical, rock and ballads. The opera follows the story of the feisty and illegitimate Eva who, at the age of fifteen journeyed from Junin to Buenos Aires and found her way into the tricky world of the capital’s theatre, film and radio. She eventually meets Juan Peron, the most popular military man of the time and marries him. He becomes President and together they establish a regime at once socialist and totalitarian. Her power, her popularity and her vanity are short-lived. Tragically she dies of cancer at the age of thirty-three.
Brussels Light Opera Company will present Evita at the Auderghem Cultural Centre from 28 November till 1 December.

ATC Improv is 1 year old! We will be celebrating with a smorgasboard of improv games and special guest performers…
The Ghost Sheep will be making their first foray into longform improv with a format called The Motel, a show where every scene takes place in – you guessed it – a motel room!
There will also be plenty of special guests, including Neil Curran, founder of Improv Fest Ireland, who will be taking audience participation to another level in his show, ‘Neil + 1’.
Last but not least, a birthday would not be a birthday without cake, so stick around after the show and celebrate with us!
BLOC: Evita auditions
The Brussels Light Opera Company will be presenting the Tim Rice/Andrew Lloyd-Webber musical “EVITA” at the Auderghem Cultural Centre theatre between the 28th November and the 1st December 2013. It will be performed in English. This will be a very challenging show for all concerned. It is sung throughout; there is hardly any dialogue. The dancing will be very, very basic Tango/Samba style; nothing balletic.
