ABOUT
DOUBLEMASK PERFORMANCE is a Drama and Theatre Production company based in Murwillmbah, NSW. The home base and studio for DoubleMask Performance is at the PAVILION THEATRE at the Murwillumbah Showground. It is run by trained Actor and Theatre Arts teacher Lachlan Glasby, whose Passion is Acting and teaching kids skills in acting as well as developing confidence.

HISTORY
While DoubleMask Performance has, officialy been in business for 3 years, Lachlan Glasby has been running performances for a long time prior to that. The first performance was THE ODD COGS COMEDY CONCERT, which was written, directed and produced by Lachlan and his fellow actors of the Odd Cogs Comedy Troupe, founded in 2006. The other members were Joseph Zambelli, Michael Vlismas and Daniel 'Deeky' King. The First production was held at the Murwillumbah showground in a large outdoor Pavilion. The first Odd Cogs was a huge success, with Audience members around the 200 mark, unheard of for Ameteaur theatre in the area, let alone a non-established theatre group. The Odd Cogs were formed while Lachlan was working with Sharon Singelton of the Kidz Drama Factory. When the Kidz Drama Factory closed it's Murwillumbah branch mid 2006, Lachlan seized the oppurtunity to create a new out-of-school drama class. This was also while he was still undertaking his Higher School Certificate. The next production Lachlan undertook was in May, 2007, with the second of the Odd Cogs Productions, entitled "Odd Cogs 2: May contain traces of Nuts". This was again held at the murwillumbah showground. This year was also the year that would see Lachlan undertake his teacher training with Mrs. Alison Janes, a renowned speech and drama teacher in the tweed valley. It was also the first year lachlan would enter students into the Murwillumbah festival of Performing arts, of which he would have group drama take out first prizein the Devised section. That year also brought "The Legend of Rain", a production in the vein of absurd theatre such as Beckett and Ionesco, which was primarily looking at what would happen if the world did not recieve any rain for the next 800 years, and the characters in this world. It opened at the murwillumbah civic centre on september 26th and 27th to rave reviews. 2008 saw Lachlan's first year of OFFICIAL teaching, and it was in this year that he took over the Shamrock program from Mr.Mitchell Grace. The program had run for three years before that. This year would see the DoubleMask Performance crew go to NIDA (National institue of Dramatic Art in Sydney), compete in Relay for Life, and see the implementation of various performance nights in the DoubleMask Calander, such as the Improv Night, the Production night and the Radioplay night. 2008 saw the first Devised Musical. "THE BROTHERS ZAG, CIRCUS EXTRAORDINARE" debuted on September 28th and 29th to once again, rave reviews. The story of the Brothers Zag was that of a circus on the edge of bankruptcy, and an aristocrat who comes in disguise to save the circus. IT was during this production that the students learnt to work with music and song as a means of telling the story. 2009 saw the third year of DoubleMask Performance, and it was during this year that we saw a new bunch of kids and a new bunch of ideas. They focus was very much text based, and at the Festival of Performing arts, the devised theatre piece "The Impossible" was won. ALL pieces this year were of a remarkable standard. 2009 also saw the blueprints for DoubleMask Performances adult classes, with the RENEGADE THESPIANS debuting to rave reviews (Albeit small audience sizes). The Renegade thespians took the palce of the ODD COGS, and is made up of Lachlan Glasby, Douglas Hatch and John Wetherall. The DoubleMask Performance MASTERCLASS (In its first year of commencement) put on two productions, COMMEDIA! in the style of commedia del arte and their own production of Charles Dickens' "A CHRISTMAS CAROL". 2009 was the first year of DoubleMask Performance's tennacy in the Pavilion Theatre @ The showground.
