Ari Boyland Plays It Gay In White Trash Omnibus…

Ari Boyland is looking pretty damn fine these days! The pictures on the right are from the promos for the theatre production White Trash Omnibus. In the production Ari plays the role of gay guy Kevin, well is he gay, or bi?… Either way it’s definitely a way to see our wee KC in a new light! I must say that big tribal tatoo is pretty kick-ass.

The storyline to the production goes as: “Andrew loves Jeremy. Jeremy loves Andrew, but won’t admit it. Jeremy likes to fool around with Kevin. Cheryl thinks she loves Kevin, and is having his baby. Kevin loves himself. Then along comes Denis to f*ck it all up…”

Victoria Spence In The Beast…

There is a review for a theatre production starring Tori Spence (Tribe’s Salene) here.

The play ‘Beast’ is written and directed by Thomas Sainsbury. It also stars Todd Emerson who co-starred with Victoria in Atlantis High.

Here’s a bit from the review by Sian Robertson, 3 Jul 2008:

Todd Emerson is at his finest as the self-righteous, vegetarian slacker, Max, who is criticises his brother and sister every step of the way then hides behind them when he’s scared, bringing a comical contrast to his siblings’ more conservative natures. David Delautour is also funny as the unassuming but slightly OCD Felix. Victoria Spence is solid in the role of their sister Justine who, though annoying at first, comes into her own when things start really going wrong.

Victoria Spence annoying?!?! Dude needs a punch, though it looks like he warms to her later on… That said I’m not sure if Sian is a he or she… Hmm…
