A few new Trampoline Reviews
14 05 2014There’s been some lovely reviews popping up around Montreal (and one from our recent Perth season) that I thought I’d share. We still have three shows left May 14, 16 and 17 at Mainline Theatre, tickets available ONLINE or at the door!
“Adamczak’s trademark lighthearted humour will appreciate an interesting change of pace as this dark comedy reveals moments of real heartbreak… But that’s not to say your face won’t hurt from laughing as you leave the theatre. Layered and touching, Trampoline is a gorgeous piece of theatre you won’t soon forget.” -Bloody Underrated
“This is a well written and cleverly acted play that will delight and amuse but also make you questions your notions of normal” – The Australian Times
“Adamczak again displays his natural ability to completely immerse himself in his characters and draw the audience into his world. Along with the equally excellent performances by Stevie and Vance the play is both touching and hilarious.” – Culture Plus

The ZACK ADAMS Project goes into “indefinite hibernation”
21 04 2014Last night I performed the final night of of the “Zack Adams Trilogy” at Mainline and apparently everyone decided “Love Songs For Future Girl” was the show that they wanted to see, so last night was packed to the rafters (literally) in the Minimain at MainLine Theatre. A sincere thank you to all who came out, I have performed that show (at last count) around 150 times and last night was easily one of the funnest and most generous crowds I have ever had.
So after almost ten years, 6 live shows, two EPs and two live albums, countless stand-up shows and hundreds of performances at Festivals all around the world, “Zack Adams” is now officially on “indefinite hibernation”. The Zack Adams Projects have been a huge part of my life and played a big role in getting my career to where it is now, but I feel like I’ve told all the stories I want to with Zack, for now at least, and I really want to focus on other projects that are still really exciting and challenging me, Trampoline, for example.
It was great to go out on a high last night, “Love Songs” is a show that has always meant a whole lot to me and I was glad so many people got joy and laughter out of it over the years.
Thanks Zack, I’ll be sure to “hit the cable with the hammer” at ever opportunity.
P.S. If you’re really after a Zack Adams fix, you can download a bunch of live, rare and studio tracks HERE!

New review for TRAMPOLINE
8 04 2014Check out this sweet review for our Subiaco season of Trampoline on Perthculture.com.
“Shane Adamczak is a comic writing genius in my book. His short play Trampoline is one of the most endearingly whimsical love stories to grace the small stage I’ve ever seen. It packs such a ‘feel good’ punch that once its finished you’ll want to go straight back into the theatre and watch it all over again.” -PerthCulture.com
