Old Mill Theatre presented the Tom Wright adaptation of Picnic at Hanging Rock, in a well-received three-week season. A small cast version, featuring five actresses playing dozens of roles, it was well received with healthy sized audiences.

Speaking from personal experience, I know the Silly Season can be difficult for those who have experienced trauma, loss, grief, or heartbreak - anniversaries are always hard.  Benji Riggs has written a whimsical and precious musical examining the difficulty a child might face during their first Christmas without a beloved grandparent.  Despite some pulling on the heartstrings, the tone is hopeful and gladdening, and definitely not mournful.

One of the wonderful things about attending a pantomime with Irish Theatre Players is that the audience, hailing from a place with a pantomime culture are thoroughly involved from the outset, and that this in turn heightens the on-stage performances. The happiness of seeing this production is tinged with a little sadness, as this will be ITP’s final performance at The Irish Club - with this well-loved building up for sale.

Queensland Ballet's twelfth season of The Nutcracker is a triumph of artistry and enchantment, offering a spellbinding experience for audiences of all ages. This beloved holiday classic has been reimagined with an exceptional blend of skill, creativity, and festive cheer, courtesy of a stellar team of performers and creatives.
