Matt and the boys often get coerced into helping Paula run lines and they will always be in the audience supporting her on opening nights. Often, she is rehearsing for more than one show as is presently the case. The fi rst is The Sugar Shack Burlesque 2.0, a VaVoom Room production which is a sequel to the very successful fi rst iteration of the show. It’s on for one night only at the “Herbert Manor”, the function room at the back of the Herbert Hotel in the city, and is expected to be a sellout like the fi rst one. Following hard on the heels of The Sugar Shack will be Full Throttle Theatre Company’s Summer of the Aliens which has a four-night season at The Old Courthouse Theatre. Acting is a hobby, about which Paula is passionate, but theatre and drama is also making an appearance at her work at the Townsville campus of CQ University. On holidays in Europe...
