Creating a world of live entertainment

(needs Internet Explorer)

 

 

 

 

The Zoom Theatre Company has produced a wide range
of live entertainment since 1985.

We have presented comedy in Edmonton, poetry in Denver, children's story-telling in Cardiff and drama in Adelaide as well as shows in schools across south-eastern Australia.

 

• THEATRE

Zoom has produced a number of plays and is involved in the Fringe and Comedy world in a number of ways.

In 2000, we co-ordinated The International Brigade — 8 theatre companies from Australia, Canada, Ireland, England and USA, presenting plays at the Adelaide Fringe Festival. Zoom helped find and set up, then managed two venues for The International Brigade at the Festival.

Zoom has produced 4 North American Fringe Theatre tours...
Bottom's Dream – Ottawa, Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Thunder Bay, Edmonton, Vancouver, Cowichan.
Alf & The Kid – Toronto, Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Edmonton, Vancouver, Cowichan.
Rape! – Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Edmonton, Victoria (BC), San Francisco.
Down Under Up Top – Toronto, Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Edmonton, Vancouver, Victoria (BC).

PARADES
The opening Parade at the 2001 Melbourne Fringe delighted 120,000 people (police estimate) in Brunswick Street as it made its idiosyncratic way along Melbourne's coolest street to climax the Fringe Street party.

Zoom produced the Grand Street Parade for the Mornington Peninsula Australia Day Festival from 1999 to 2003 – more than 50 entries including an aerial fly-past, community groups, service organisations and local businesses. The parade has had horse-riders and horse-drawn carriages, vintage cars, floats and pedestrian entries, llamas and even 3 elephants!
