Brooklyn Community Theatre would like to say a huge thank you to our terrific audience who came to see our performance of "That's the Spirit!" by Tim Kelly. Despite the drizzle around 500 people came to Rest Park, Brooklyn on Saturday 15 November 2008 to enjoy a fantastic night of family entertainment under the stars. The play, a murder-mystery-comedy, delivered plenty of chuckles and chills... the atmosphere was electric!!
Among our audience were Judy Hopwood MP, Member for Hornsby and Nick Berman, Mayor of Hornsby Shire:
"With huge anticipation I settled into a deck chair on the grassy slope to watch what I was very much looking forward to - 'That's the Spirit!'. The Brooklyn Community Theatre is to be congratulated on a totally wonderful production - I was immersed in the story with the very talented actors and the weather had no impact on my overall enjoyment at all. The setting is amazing and the experience not to be missed! To have such a fantastic opportunity out in the open air in a natural amphitheatre encapsulates what Brooklyn is all about - FULL of spirit!"
Judy Hopwood MP, Member for Hornsby
"A great night out for the family and an asset to the shire's performing arts - It was great to see a community pull together to perform a family friendly event. The standard of the acting, costumes and sets was of the highest level and a credit to all involved - I look forward to future perfomances."
Nick Berman, Mayor of Hornsby Shire

We would like to thank them again for their support which allows us to provide this wonderful event to the community. Special thanks goes to Hornsby Shire Council, Fenwicks Marina, Luxury Afloat and Don Thompson.
