Class of ’77 is a home-grown Aussie musical that takes you back to the 70s, a time that was easier to know.
Follow the story of young love, girl talk, Toranas and heart break as the graduating class journeys into their brave new worlds through music and laughter.
When we meet them again fifteen years later at their reunion, they’ve all come a long way from their golden years at 17. We learn that different outcomes have eventuated and their class has realised that time really does fly and you can’t stay young forever.
Ingrid is by no means a Spectrum veteran but found a love for this old show-girl and the darlings that find themselves woven into the fabric of her many costumes, during the musical sensation that was Class of 77.
She is grateful for the opportunity to be a part of the talented team that have come together to being to life the narrative so beautifully imagined by the creative minds at our helm.
With all the love and support of this special place (and a slight fear of Aaron’s notebook of constructive hieroglyphics, softened by his own inability to decode them), she is proud to present Stephanie to her audience, a part of this true composite arrangement.
Luka has been acting since he was 8 years old and has averaged probably one show a year in that time.
This will be Luka's fourth appearance in a Spectrum Theatre play. In late 2023 he performed the role of resigned husband Max in A Good Old Fashioned, Big Family Christmas, and drew cast pictures for the flyers and program.
In 2024 he played the part of Adam and sang “Me & My Torana” in the Class of '77 musical, and earlier this year was the ghost of Hamlet in One Actually.
He has also performed previously with Albany Light Opera and Theatre Company (ALOTCo), singing a duet in the 2018 production of It's Been a Long, Long Time, and two solos in 2019's Albany's Got Talent.
Laura joined Spectrum Theatre in 2023 when she landed the role of Marjorie in A Good Old Fashioned Big Family Christmas, and has caught the acting bug since!
Laura has since joined the committee of Spectrum Theatre, and has loved being part of the team.
Toni is a seasoned performer, and is active in the creative scene in and around Albany and Denmark. Toni joined Spectrum Theatre in Picnic at Hanging Rock, and is part of the Playback Theatre group that meet at Spectrum Theatre.
Jen's love of theatre was ignited way back in 2000, when she had her first audition at Spectrum Theatre — giving her the opportunity not only to act, but to sing on stage as well!
Jen has been bitten by the theatre bug ever since, with her involvement in countless shows to date, both on and off stage.
Tiger's been involved in the theatre ever since a child, but never quite expected to graduate University with a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature and Theatre — the consequence of which was a rather brief spell as an English & Drama teacher!
Tiger joined Spectrum Theatre in 2018 have been a drunken butler in Dinner For One, the formidable Mrs Appleyard in Picnic at Hanging Rock, and Madame Arcarti in Blithe Sprit.
In the last couple of years, Tiger has become more involved in behind-the-scenes at Spectrum Theatre, and is now rather addicted to the joy that comes from people stepping into our unique and beautiful little venue for the first time, and loves the wonderful theatre community that we have here.
