Oh, the Humanity (and other good intentions) reveals that we are beautiful walking tragedies 
-The Guardian


Oh, the Humanity (and other good intentions) highlights the absurdity of everyday existence in a series of comically bittersweet vignettes.

A football coach on a losing streak, on field and off. 
An airline spokesperson breaks bad news about the effect of gravity on Flight 514.
Can a photo not only capture the souls of those in frame, but their hopes and dreams also?
A couple discover video dating can be more soul destroying than walks on a beach and pina coladas
A trip to the church becomes a matter of life and death – but aren’t they always?

Pulitzer nominated playwright Will Eno (Thom Pain) deftly examines the zugzwang of life; the knowledge that whatever move you make, it’ll just make things worse.

Green Room Award winning theatre company Act-O-Matic 3000 is pleased to present an evening of “playfully profound theatre” (New York Times) upstairs at beloved Melbourne bar, Rue Bebelons.

Oh, the Humanity (and other good intentions) is a frequently touching, occasionally poignant and more often than not hilarious peek at the pointless hamster-wheel of life in which we spin.

FEATURING: Kevin Summers, Heidi Valkenburg, Daniel Rice, Bridgette Burton & Dan Walls

OH, THE HUMANITY is produced by special arrangement with SUBIAS.
Originally Developed and Produced by 

The Flea Theater, New York City Jim Simpson, Artistic Director; Carol Ostrow, Producing Director

to 2012

Hello 2012!

But before we get to that, a hearty thank you to everyone that supported Act-O-Matic 3000 in 2011. We had a quiet couple of years prior, so we were extremely appreciative of everyone who came out and attended either or both of our shows  - Breathing Corpses by Laura Wade and October by Ian Wilding.

It is increasingly difficult to exist as an unfunded/unsupported independent theatre company. The extra work that is put in by everyone involved in each show demonstrates the belief the cast and crew have in each particular production. We hope you can also see and enjoy what it is we value in our shows.

As for 2012, we will be back at Mechanics Institute in November. We may also pop up somewhere else before then. Wherever and whatever, make sure you come and check it out. Sign up to our email database now to make sure you find out the wherever and whatever.

Regards

Act-O-Matic 3000

Cathy Kohlen, Juan Modinger, Dan Walls and Brett Whittingham.

two days has october | special offer!

There are only two performances left of this challenging, chilling and thought-provoking play. Ian Wilding, writer of some of the most acclaimed plays recently seen on Australian stages (The Water Carriers witty and compelling - The Age & Quack A rollicking night out - SMH), takes a darkly satirical look at the life of seemingly perfect married couple Angela and Tim. She an interior designer, he a pilot, they both begin to unravel when Dez knocks on their door, claiming to have had a relationship with Angela. This intrusion shatters their comfortable lifestyle and as paranoia takes grip, they engage a private eye called Dick to get to the bottom of it. Dick gets there fast and takes them all with him. Directed by Wayne Pearn Set Design by Carmel Iudica Stage Manager Julie-Anne Donnellan Lighting Design by Douglas Montgomery Lighting and Audio by Lindon Blakey Produced by Act-O-Matic 3000 Featuring Ron Kofler, Catherine Kohlen, David Passmore and Dan Walls. Until Saturday 26th Nov @ 8pm. Mechanics Institute Performing Arts Centre Glenlyon and Sydney Road, Brunswick. Tickets $27 & $22 ph 9015 7530 www.trybooking.com/VZS actomatic3000@gmail.com
