Spectacular
New Stageshow The all Australian, high quality stage spectacular More Than Gold, 'wowed' audiences at its world premiere in Sydney on February 26. "This is a powerful, fresh & appealing way of telling the gospel. More Than Gold brings the life & death of Jesus into the centre of the Australian experience. It leaves no doubt that here are issues that are relevant and compelling for us today," said Mr Stephen O'Doherty (Liberal Front Bencher & Member for Hornsby) who officiated at the launching of this brand new production. Created by the innovative creative arts company Logosdor, More Than Gold is designed for churches, schools & festivals to perform this year as a special event for their community. A comprehensive production kit of the stageshow has been created and already groups throughout Australia are using the kit to produce their own More Than Gold Stage spectacular. The highly professional More Than Gold soundtrack includes the voices of professional actors such as Emma de Vries & Mal Heap, seen on ABC TV as puppets "Mixy" & "Joe" and Jay Laga'aia, (ex-Water Rats & Xena). The show was written and choreographed by Simon Hood, Libby Hume and Mal Heap from Logosdor. They recently returned from a world tour covering 8 countries and performing to nearly 500,000 children. "It (More Than Gold) was an impressive, colourful performance which will be a vital link in the Quest - More than Gold promotion in the Olympic period, " said Mr Bruce Baird (MP - Federal Member for Cook) who also launched the stageshow. Logosdor is performing the Victorian Premiere on Saturday 25th March as part of the Awakening Training Expo in conjunction with Quest Australia. It is being held at Kilvington School in Ormond as a demonstration to anyone interested in putting it on, though anyone is invited to come along.
