Initial "technical difficulties" aside, the comedy show Tinderella performed by creative director of Theatre on Toast Alyce Fisher had the audience laughing out loud on the evening of 4 October.Â
Â
"Not everything went according to plan but that's the beauty of live theatre, you just have to roll with what's happening live in the space.
Â
"Yes, unexpected things happened but we survived."
Â
The lighting got knocked over by the photographers and the audience took a while to warm up but in the end, the show turned out to be a success.Â
Â
"It was hard work but it was a lot of fun," Ms Fisher told the Coonamble Times.Â
Â
The two main characters of the show are Tinderella and her Fairy Godmother who also acts as the narrator and gives you a sneaky behind-the-scenes look at Tinderella's love life.Â
Â
Tinderella herself is only introduced when she holds a TED Talk about how she uses Tinder and her credentials within the contemporary dating landscape.Â
Â
"It's a very educational show but all grounded in storytelling, humour, and having a laugh."Â

Â
Around 40 people were in the audience.Â
Â
"We were excited by the amount of people. It was incredible."Â
Â
Ms Fisher said they welcomed people from all ages to the Coonamble show.Â
Â
"We had people from their late teens right through to their 60s and 70s. There was a really good mix of genders as well."
Â
"I just love the Plaza Theatre. It's such a beautiful space. It's so wonderful it's being used again and I really do hope it continues to receive funding, so they can restore the building and take it back to its former glory in a contemporary way."Â
Â
"As for any sort of country town, you're never quite sure who's going to show up and what kind of experiences they are going to have. That is why I treat every show in a unique way.Â
Â
"I think it's a privilege to be invited out to regional communities and perform in venues that perhaps don't get as many people coming through."Â
Â
Ms Fisher is currently writing a sequel to Tinderella called Parenting Partners which is about creating a family outside of heterosexual norm.
