FROM Neil Diamond to The Beatles, the Beach Boys to Percy Grainger, Billie Eilish and a major work by Peter Meechan - such was a varied program of music from Townsville Brass.

Continuing its mission to promote the breadth of musical styles and talent in our community with a series of Sunday afternoon performances, Townsville Music Centre presented the 33-piece band which is the flagship of the Townsville Citizens Band Association.

The Irish Theatre Players are presenting three one act plays, Kitchen, The Bear and Ashes to Dust, for a very short season. Featuring one of the most catching promotions posters this year, the three plays are very diverse, making for some interesting viewing.

All three plays share the same simple but effective lights and sound design, from Fiona Reid, and empty simple sets, to allow for quick transition.

The Great Gatsby was written by F. Scott Fitzgerald and published to initially lukewarm reception in 1925 – eventually finding its place as a contender for the ‘Great American Novel’ after World War II, and today, still receives considerable attention from scholars of all ages.

The Mel Brooks musical Young Frankenstein comes to life in this broad stroke, campy and very polished production from Darlington Theatre Players. Top notch production values and a stellar cast make this one of Perth's top community theatre productions of 2024.
