Susan Bamford Caleo offers a heart wrenching performance as the scorned woman in her strikingly dramatic interpretation of Euripides tragic play Medea in Unravel Reckoning. She has reunited with musician Elissa Goodrich, with whom she brought us the much-heralded Fragments at LA Mama in 2017, returning post Covid with a powerful new show.

There’s every chance that if you look up entertainment in the dictionary, you will find Rhonda Burchmore’s name in the definition.

Celebrating 40 years as a STAwaRt of our industry, Rhonda was never going to let a little thing like a pandemic get in her way. Like most born entertainers, she needs to connect with an audience. It’s her very reason for living, her life’s blood, and she does it brilliantly. So, if the big shows aren’t happening for her, Rhonda simply creates her own.

Side Show, not seen in Perth for over a decade, is a gritty and emotive musical, expertly presented by WAAPA’s Third Year Music Theatre students, and designed built and crewed by WAAPA Production and Design students.

Established in 1967, originally located in an unimposing hall in Seacombe Gardens, Galleon Theatre Group is a proud and well established community theatre group. Now housed in Marion Council’s new Domain Theatre, it is a well-regarded and recognized Adelaide theatre group. Having multiple theatre awards and nominations, it holds an important place as a group that has consistently welcomed people who love theatre, valuing their enthusiasm, and often providing mentoring and opportunities for less experienced actors and production teams alike.
