Lipstick Dreams is a sweet and funny comedy with four sassy women singing great retro songs, written by Simon Hopkinson and Helen O’Connor. It is a light-hearted look at the lives of four very different people, each with their own dreams and disappointments.
Some talented actresses are treading the boards to bring these characters to life.
Deborah Ellison a local performing arts teacher plays Jan, and has danced professionally around the world and in 2016 she made her debut at Noosa Arts Theatre as the fairy godmother in the panto Cinderella. She also appeared in the recent One Act plays, winning Audience Choice and Adjudicator’s Award for best Ensemble in “Unforgettable.”
Samantha Prosser (Jo) is an acting graduate of the University of Southern Queensland with a healthy variety of stage, TV and film credits spanning a double decade.
In Sydney she enjoyed the creativity of indie film projects, and now she’s back with a young family and is loving again, collaborating with passionate, creative souls in this musical!
Emily Potts (Jenny), a St Teresa’s Year 10 student, has performed in many Noosa Arts Theatre pantomimes, the musicals Mary Poppins and Oliver! and in A Poet Passes as part of the 2017 One Act Play Festival. She has danced at Noosa Professional Dance Academy for nine years doing ballet, jazz, contemporary and musical theatre.
She is a master-class student at Little Seed Theatre Company, performing in numerous performances at the Sunshine Coast theatre festival and also plays guitar and piano and has undertaken singing lessons for five years.

Melanie Flynn (Jess) played the lead in last year’s panto, Cinderella, here at Noosa and was part of a wonderful cast for Oliver.
