BAM! Do you like monosyllabic opening sentences? Then I’ve delivered! We want you to audition for Science Revue or something!

But Gabi/Michael, what IS Science Revue?
Science Revue is one of the many comedy shows provided by the University of Sydney Union and put on by students in the second semester as a part of a season of faculty revues. It’s a collection of songs, sketches and dances. Also SCIENCE REVUE IS HELLA FUN. HELLA. FUN. If you like being funny on stage with excellent people, sister/brother you’ve come to the right place. The show goes off like a firework riding a waterski and now I know what I’m doing with the rest of my weekend.

Can I audition?
Yes. Yes you can. There are separate auditions for acting, dancing and singing, and you can audition for as many as you’d like. As long as it’s three at most. You know what they say. Two’s company, and three is the maximum number of things you can audition for.

When are auditions?
Weeks 6 and 7! That’s the 15th – 26th of April.

Acting: 5pm-7pm Mondays & Wednesdays and the Thursday of Week 6, Badham & Bodhan Bilinksy Rooms (Holme Building)
Dancing: 4pm-6pm Tuesdays, 3pm-5pm Fridays, Holme Common Room (Holme Building)
Singing: 1pm-3pm Mondays, 12pm-2pm Wednesdays, Barnard Eldershaw Room (Manning Level 2)

If you can’t make any of those audition times but want to audition, please email auditions AT sciencerevue DOT org and we’ll figure something out!

Do I need to prepare anything?
DEPENDS.

Acting: Nope. There’ll be script reading and improv but that’s all in the audition itself. If you have a special talent you’d like to show us you can prepare that. NB Nudity is not a special talent.
Dancing: Nope! You’ll be taught some sweet choreo by Tash and Anna and then do some dancing like in that one film where they did the dancing. Make sure to bring clothes you are comfortable to dance in.
Singing: YOU BET. You will need to prepare a song that shows off your vocal skills to sing for our handsome men of red Aidan and Allister. You should be prepared to sing without accompaniment.

Do I have to be a science student?
You do not need to be a Science student to join or audition. Your faculty is not as important as your willingness to enjoy yourself as you work together to create a great show. Bring your ACCESS card or, if you don’t have one yet, your student card.

Anything else?
I think that’s it. Wear comfortable clothes/shoes so you can move around real good. be on time. If you have any questions send them to auditions AT sciencerevue DOT org and we’ll take care of it, like Marlon Brando took care of whoever it was he took care of. Not, like, in the Godfather. Streetcar? No that’s definitely not it. I’ll get back to you.

If you’re gonna come, RSVP to our Facebook event!

Science Revue performs at Transition Workshop & O-Week

Science Revue has choir performances coming up on the 26th and 27th of February! Check out the following facebook events for more details:

21st Feb @ 12pm Rehearsal – Facebook Event
26th Feb @ 12pm Rehearsal + Transition Workshop Performance – Facebook Event
27th Feb @ 12pm O-Week Performance – Facebook event

Ten years ago Sin(X) City was rife with crime and villainy, but the government commissioned
a renowned mathematician to devise an equation to solve it once and for all. Thus was
created the Anti-Crime Equation, and evil was thwarted for good. But when a transferred
detective is brought onto a mysterious suicide case, he must travel to the underbelly of the
city to investigate.

Hilarity lurks around every corner as this black, white, and technicolour marvel probes the
myriad questions at the back of your mind.

Will the sinister alleyways of Sin(X) City collapse to swallow our handsome detective whole?
Will blood run freely in the gutters once more?
Was the man on the grassy knoll actually JFK?
Did I leave the treadmill running?

Prepare yourself for an evening of fun filled songs, crazed dancing, and spectacular laughs
as the Sydney University Science Revue presents its seventh show in as many years. With a
reputation and our hostage writers at stake, nothing except multiple lightning strikes and
tiny microbes will prevent us from bringing you comedy gold.

It’s Stage Film Noir like you’ve never seen it before, because you’ve probably never seen it
before. So come with us to explore the dark streets of Science Revue’s Sin(X) City.

CLICK HERE TO BUY NOW!

But!

We still need many hands behind-the-scenes and not-so-behind-the-scenes to make this baby run.

It’s one small step for man, one giant show you should definitely see! NASAblanca sees the space-race reignited as the Cosmonauts and Astronauts fighting to be the first to plant the flag in Andromeda. But, while the war rages outside, there stands one safe-haven on lake tranquility where Russian and American alike can drink, laugh, and not-murder-each-other.

What will happen when war invades this sacred place?
Can love blossom from the wreckage of a moon-buggie?
Will space-Gorbachev tear down this space-wall?

Strap on your rocket-boots and set a course for space as Sydney University’s Science Revue brings you an original story from the magical world of NASAblanca! Brace yourself for a flurry of songs, dances, sketches, and downright blatant magic that will leave you in space-stitches.

Now in it’s sixth and finest year, the Science Revue has built a reputation on bringing the funniest, most exciting show of the year right to your salivating mouth. This show is humanity’s best chance to ever live in peace and happiness, and not buying a ticket would stake your claim as direct opposition to the very concept of love.

Seeing this show is in a very real sense the greatest decision you will ever make. So, put away that engagement ring, set fire to that mortgage and don’t shoot that president! Science Revue is back in town and better than ever!

Interested? Email producer@sciencerevue.org!

Here’s a quick checklist for those who should come:

1) Can/can’t act?
2) Can/can’t sing?
3) Can/can’t dance?
4) Love dinosaurs?

If you answered any of the above questions, COME ALONG! We don’t even care what faculty you’re from! Bring your friends! Bring your pets! Bring your old Gameboy! We’ll have you all!
