Today, we had an About The Production discussion over Australian Open. This production is coming to the PIP Theatre in January courtesy of the production company 7th Floor Theatre. Australian Open, not to be confused with the actual Australian Open tennis tournament, is a fast-paced comedy about tennis and open relationships.
About Angus Camerons Australian Open
What is this Production about?
Australian Open is a play about tennis and open relationships. It’s a hilarious ensemble piece that uses witty dialogue to challenge societal norms whilst championing queer culture.
What character are you playing, and what can you share with us about them?
I am understudying the role of Belinda as well as the Assistant Director.
Why did you want to be involved in this production?
I first became involved with 7th Floor Theatre through their weekly moved play reading series, Pot Luck Plays, and things evolved from there.
What will the audience be thinking about in the car as they drive home after this show?
I hope it will start conversations around open relationships. I identify as ENM (Ethical Non-Monogomous) which includes open relationships. I’m really excited to be part of a play that asks those kind of questions, and I’ve been enjoying chatting to the cast about it. The ENM world still faces a lot of discrimination.
What’s going to surprise people about this show?
People are going to be surprised just how funny this play is!
Where can patrons purchase tickets to this production?
Australian Open runs from January 8th to 18th, 2025. There are 7:30 p.m. shows from Wednesday to Saturday, and 2 p.m. matinee shows each Saturday.
