Menopause the Musical for dads!

Director: Jonathan Mill, Matthew Carey

Writers: Liam Amor, Michael Fry, Matt Green, Colin James, David Lander, Geoff Paine

Cast:

Out of the Square and SINGular Productions present It's a Dad Thing!, a new South Australian musical revue based on the play of the same name.

It's a Dad Thing! is a roller coaster ride of laughter, tears and songs, and is chaotic, fun, shocking and truthful. Pretty much like parenthood itself with an interval!

The show features a group of five dads who come together to build a playground for a local school fete. It is a fast-paced series of vignettes examining parenthood from a strictly male perspective, with some hilarious and some serioues monologues, sketches and songs.

The show covers prenatal classes (where even the men practice pelvic floor exercises), the actual births of their kids (six hours of Enya tapes - the horror!), attempts to cross the squeaky floorboards without waking the kids, and introducing the kids to sharp knives, pizza and alcohol - meet Superdad.

And that's just the first half...

The play was written by six Australian artists (and dads) Liam Amor, Michael Fry, Matt Green, Colin James, David Lander and Geoff Paine in 1999.
