Unique Selling Point
In A Moment celebrates the things that bring humans together; it is a story about human connection and the way a friendship between people can affect and change their lives. It covers themes of love, guilt, loss, fear and loneliness. We have been incredibly humbled by the genuine love that our audiences, young and old, from all walks of life, have had for this timeless story. We would love to share the story with even more audiences - especially those in remote areas who may not have the opportunity to access theatre as easily as those in metropolitan areas.
Marketing Materials
This story is appropriate for Secondary students. Tammy Tresillian is a high school Drama teacher and is happy to create appropriate resources for different year levels as required.
Community Engagement
We are happy to provide acting workshops for Secondary students and adults alike, as Tammy Tresillian is a Drama and Theatre Studies teacher. Tim Jackman is a children's entertainer ("King of the Kids") and could engage the community with concerts for younger children.
