The Mobsters - Gangster Show

Join the Mob ... Gangsters, Molls and Keystone Cops
Well known gangsters Knuckle and Biff, along with their flapper side kicks will meet and greet your guests in their own immutable style.

Once inside the room the night will start off with a bang – reminiscent of The Untouchables. It is all action as the police sirens blast, spot lights beam around the Room - the keystone cops are coming!! This sends these wily gangsters and their molls into overdrive, spot lights beam to the roof and the gangsters try to make an escape.. but they are caught! The keystone cops manhandle, I mean usher - the mob to the stage. Your guests will be entertained as this group of misfits fumble and bumble their way through a witty and humourous script.

Optional extra:

  • Some of your guests will be put behind bars and the only way to escape is to “dance their way out”. They will learn the Charleston and the best couple win a fabulous prize…freedom!
  • 1920’s Chicago show also available for this theme
  • Room theming

“The performances by the ‘Gangsters’ in both their small feature performance and also during our pre-dinner drinks section were extremely fun and entertaining. Once again, flexibility was the key with these guys keeping the crowd entertained and moving when time was critical. I must also say that it is encouraging to work with professionals such as yourself and the entertainers that you provide within an audience that not only contains senior staff members but also members of our board of directors.”
Greg Sullivan, Kennards Hire 2007

“We would like to take this opportunity to thank Way Out Theatreworks™ for the valued role you played in making the Leighton Contractors’ 2006 “Roaring 20’s Gangster” Christmas Party such a successful event. The Gangster ‘Prohibition’ performance piece by your team of talented actors gained successful audience participation, leaving a lasting impression amongst our 450 staff. We appreciate your flexibility in working with us and our ideas and your additional themeing and creativity certainly achieved the ‘WOW’ factor we were aiming for. Your professionalism and experience has set a benchmark for future Leighton events.”
Sonia Trevison, Leighton Contractors

Showbiz Bonanza

SHOWBIZ BONANZA is a high energy game of skill, a game of luck, a game of wit and a game of chance. Showbiz Bonanza is inspired by the glitz and razzamatazz of Hollywood. It takes the quintessential quiz show to its limits providing a farcical & fun filled interactive event. Guests will get a chance to guess sound clips from Hollywood’s greatest movies, trivia questions and more. So why not relive your favourite movie moments and show tunes. You may even be in the running to win a plethora of wonderful prizes that are cheap, tacky and generally quite useless. But don’t worry if you miss out, because in SHOWBIZ BONANZA, everyone’s a winner!

Ideal as a social event, conference dinner or team building event.

“I believe that when people go over and beyond they should be recognised - Way Out Theatreworks™ hit the mark! Our ‘Showbiz Bonanza’ event was a great success and it was largely due to your team of wonderful, wonderful people. They were professional, organised, adaptable, enthusiastic and most importantly very entertaining. The room theming just added to the wonderful atmosphere that was created. I would like to say a special thank you to you for your never-ending patience, flexibility and extra efforts with the pre-event organising - this was just super. I would thoroughly recommend your organisation to anyone wanting to make their event one to remember.”
Tracey Button, ESRI. April 2006

Casino nights

Casino Nights is a perfect way to create something different that contains that “WOW” factor for your colleagues and guests and we welcome the opportunity to create a memorable evening for one and all.

They are so much fun and the guests are able to show their prowess at the gaming tables with our funny money.

Given that quite a few guests will not have been inside a casino it is a laugh a minute watching and observing their personality antics changing during the course of the evening.

Guests become “high rollers” instantly, others “hold” on to their pretend winnings, it is such a great night that is filled with anticipation and optimism whilst at the same time providing positive results of smiles.

Some Things Never Change
Some Things Never Change

'Some Things Never Change'

The technological advancements of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries are nothing less then mind-boggling. Each generation, from the good old Baby Boomer, with his computer illiterate ways, through the Generation Xer’s of the 80’s and 90’s to the wireless Generation Y have had to cope with constant change. Will it ever end?

This short, high energy theatrical piece takes us on a light-speed tour of the last 40 years and looks at how each generation handles the technical changes that the next generation brings. It exposes our unfortunate human trait of complacency and takes a light-hearted look at our deep-seated fear of change.

When “Barry the Baby Boomer”, “Jenny X” and the young upstart from the “Y” generation are all expected to work together. Will it all work out, or will it end in technical disaster.

N.B. This piece was written for the Meetings & Events National Conference 2006 to support the key note speaker Corbin Ball, who was speaking on how the different generations cope with changes in technology. It has been performed at various conferences since.
