(Daisy Spencer &
Rory Booth)
Debuting at Seabrooke's Theatre (DHS), The P.A.R.C (no auditions required) is a musical comedy starring
Daisy Spencer and Rory Booth who describe the show as follows:
Has anyone ever told you, ”You’re the worst singer I’ve ever
heard, please throw your voice box in the bin on your way out”, or, “You look
like a deaf duck in pain when you bust a move”, or, “Your acting’s so bad you’d
be perfect for the next ‘Sharknado’ movie”?
Have you spent years refusing to believe the masses of
industry professionals who have told you that you can’t sing, dance, or act,
or, that you suck at all three?
Well then, you might want to visit us at The P.A.R.C, The Performing Arts
Rehabilitation Centre. Leave your picnic baskets behind, as your time spent
here will be no walk in the park. Through intense self-reflection and therapy,
we will help you acknowledge your strengths and accept your weaknesses, making
you the best performing artist you can be. Get in gear and come to The P.A.R.C.
No auditions required!
Melody (Daisy Spencer), an aspiring musical theatre star, is
testimony to the saying ‘fake it to make it’. Realising that being an amazing
actress and dancer is not enough to make it in the theatre industry these days,
she convinces herself that she is a singer, as the infamous ‘triple threat’ is
what directors and producers are after.
After countless rejections, Melody’s mum sends her to The
P.A.R.C to receive counselling from Dr Doolilpersad (Rory Booth), who
represents the other end of the ‘artists’ curse’ - the triple threat who just
can’t seem to catch a break, so he gets a ‘real’ job, to help her come to terms
with the fact that she has never, and will never be a singer.
As funny and ridiculous as Melody’s journey to the truth is,
The P.A.R.C is both gut-wrenching and
heart-warming, as the audience is exposed to the real highs and lows of what
being an artist trying to ‘make it’, really entails. With the help of Dr
Doolilpersad, Melody realises that sometimes, it’s better to focus on what
you’re good at, and make that work for you, rather than trying to be someone or
something that you’re not.
