Spoons

With over the two decades of regional touring experience, Damian Callinan has a sharp eye for what what resonates with regional audiences: Strong storytelling, relatable characters & a blend of comedy & drama. 'Spoons' follows in the tradition of 'Double Feature', which successfully toured nationally (2022-24). Based on his parents diaries, the nostalgic, romantic and tragic notes in the show, connected deeply with audiences. While 'Spoons' is fictional, the characters, issues & dilemmas are identifiable for audiences whose parents or grandparents have become the fading generation, and through the lens of protagonist Stan, a voice to those who are marching into the sunset. In this brilliant, important new work, Callinan uses his trademark blend of comedy & pathos to create a rich story, that would be ideal for seniors month programming, but retains intergenerational appeal.
