Local theatre for emerging playwrights

Made in Boorloo is a new WA Youth Theatre Company (WAYTCo) program for young and emerging playwrights that sees two new plays presented by double bill at The Blue Room Theatre.

Fresh off the high-octane production line of WAYTCO’s wildly popular 24Hr Play Generator, Laura Goodlet and Manuela Coentro de Souza have developed their writing from time-crunched 10-minute plays to marinated one-act-length works. What a difference a few more days makes! 

The Made in Boorloo double header features the story of five campers on school holidays at Lake Douglas. It’s 2010, it’s Kalgoorlie and a star has just fallen to earth. In the second bill, a fateful group assignment presents a moral challenge: how do you stand up for what’s right even if it means upsetting your friends?
