IT STANDS FOR JOHNO & LYNETTE...
In case you were wondering.
MEET JOHNO (he/him)
Hi, I'm Johnathon White, but please call me "Johno", everybody does.
​
Born and bred in the theatre scene (my parents were theatre directors
and teachers), as a child, I spent more time backstage than in my
own backyard.
​
Fast forward to (gracefully aged) adulthood, I've honed my skills as a
theatre and events expert. With a background as a Performing Arts
Teacher, Business Manager, Film & Content Creator, and
Production/Technical Manager, I've worked with schools, businesses,
and community programs across the state and beyond.
​
These days, I'm all about delivering top-notch Live Production and
Technical services (currently studying at RMIT, Melbourne).
From lights to sound to making sure the show actually goes on,
I'm your guy. My goal? To make your event unforgettable, one that
you'll be telling stories about for years to come.
MEET MISS LYNETTE
Or... maybe your event is in need of something a little different...
Hey, gwuuuuurl! I'm Miss Lynette, the Queen of this scene.
Also born and bred in theatre, I was named after my mother, the Original Lynette, "Melbourne Dancer, Director, Choreographer and Liza enthusiast."
I've got face, fierceness, fibre deficiencies and flawless skills. Unlike some people (cough, Johno, cough), I'm not here to be the backstage help...
"I'm the star of the show, Hunty!"
With drag, dance, and drama cred, I've worked with bars, clubs, and various productions. I'm the go-to expert for Live Production and Event Coordination, while making it all look fabulous!
Book me, and your event will slay. Book Johno, and... well... Book Johno.
