Phar Lap Champion to a Nation
Auditions / Horse Registrations
Goldsteins Bakery Gold Coast Show
August 27 to 29 2010
This exciting production of "Phar Lap" Champion to a
Nation will be the feature attraction at the 2010 Gold Coast Show.
"Phar Lap will appear in the Main Arena each night of the show at 7pm followed by the Fireworks at 8pm. This is the most ambitious production that we have attempted to date. Phar Lap is an icon of the Australian Horse Racing industry and all Australians recognize the 17.1h Chestnut Gelding as an Australian Champion succeeding against all odds.
The Phar Lap story has something in it for everyone and is anticipated to be very popular with the local show audiences over the 3 performance nights. We are now looking for stars of the show on two legs and four.
The climax of our story will be a re-enactment of the 1930 Melbourne Cup. So the SEARCH BEGINS NOW for all the horses that ran in the cup including Phar Lap.
If you have a chestnut thoroughbred horse that stands around 17 hands high that would be suitable for this production please fill out the form below and register your details.
Phar Lap as an ugly yearling is also being sourced for this production.
Apart from Phar Lap we will also need the other race horses that appeared in the 1930 Melbourne Cup. If you have a retired or active race horse that can be rehearsed in the re-enactment of the race and of course be controlled to run where it's directed then we'd very much like to hear from you as well. We will need at least 12 horses for the race re-enactment.
Fill out this form and you will be contacted shortly.
All the above talent is required to retell the Phar Lap story and you are invited to register to be part of this exciting production. It doesn't matter what you do, let us know of your skill or what you'd like to do and we will consider your involvement. From on stage performers to behind the scenes stage managers and co-ordinators.
Here's a list of the people we need;
Actors - Male & Female to play key roles in the Phar Lap Story.
