The Star Latest Christchurch news at www. .kiwi Thursday June 29 2017 31 Theatre/Arts ISAAC THEATRE ROYAL CHRISTCHURCH 25th July- 10am, 12pm & 3pm 26th july - 10am & 12pm BOOK: 0800 TICKETEK www.isaactheatreroyal.co.nz PRESENTED BY: Late bloomer tackles big role • By Georgia O’Connor-Harding TOM TREVELLA was a late bloomer when it came to securing his first professional gig as an artist on stage. Trevella, 46, spent his earlier years travelling the world. It wasn’t until the Lyttelton resident returned to the city in his 30s that he met director/ actor Derek Doddington and his theatre career began to blossom. When Doddington founded Top Dog Theatre in 2003, Trevella was one of the first performers to jump on board by starring in Steven Berkoff’s gritty drama West. It was at Top Dog that Trevella was spotted by The Court Theatre’s artistic director Ross Gumbley, who gave him his first professional role in the original play Happy Coupling in 2006. “During my 20s, I did a lot of travelling and got life experience in a way and was able to bring that into theatre . . . it is not something I had a concentrated effort to do, I just sort of fell into it,” he said. More than a decade on, after establishing himself as a regular in the city’s art scene, he will feature in Top Dog’s latest comedy Up ‘N’ Under by John Godber. Trevella will play the role of ex-professional rugby league player Arthur who bets his life savings he can train a team to beat the undefeated ‘Wheatsheaf Arms’. He said the show is almost a re-staging of Sylvester Stallone’s movie Rocky – but told through rugby league. Trevella was also one of CHALLENGE: The cast of Up ‘n’ Under – Tom Trevella as Arthur (back left), Dougal Frame as Tony, Dan Crossen as Frank, Miriam van Voorthuizen as Hazel (front left), Aaron Boyce as Steve/ Reg Welsh and Darren Sundborn as Phil. the first on the scene when the Loons Theatre Trust, now the Lyttelton Arts Factory, was established in 2007. He still performs with the theatre company. He appeared in its first production of The Butler by Joe Bennett, which ended up touring in Islington, London, for three weeks. Since the February 2011 earthquake, Trevella has seen great changes in the Lyttelton Arts Factory with the establishment of its new building on 1 Sumner Rd. Trevella is one of a limited number in the city who have managed to make theatre their main profession. “I don’t have an expensive house, dog, car, partner or children . . . those are the sort of things a theatre career can’t support,” he said. When he returned home from his travels, Trevella spent several years working in varied jobs in the city before he got his first professional gig. This included driving trams, working at the Christchurch Art Gallery and selling swimming pool chemicals. Trevella said a highlight of his travels was living in New York city for two years, where he learned he is the smallest of the small, a lesson which gave him the licence to be whoever he wanted to be. •Up ‘N’ Under will run at the Lyttelton Arts Factory from July 12-22.
