Prepping for Theatre

Cabaret • Musical theatre
South Australia • World Premiere

When we think of doctors, we tend to think clinical, dry…dare we say, boring? Dr Lane, armed with his affable charm, outstanding vocal talent and irrefutable penchant for penning sensational songs, defies expectations! He recounts the story of how he, as a young boy plagued with anxiety, found success as both a GP and musician.

All profits will be donated towards youth mental health.

  • The doctor can sing, and it quickly becomes obvious that we’re in for an entertaining blend of candid personal revelation and humour. - Jo Vabolis, InDaily

  • He is a one-man package because he arranges music, plays the piano sublimely and is a gifted singer with a daunting range. - Samela Harris, Barefoot Review

  • Prepping For Theatre is important, fun, and life-giving cabaret, and amid shows of vulgarity it is just what the doctor ordered! - Steve Davis, The Adelaide Show
