Gentle little Aussie musical Summer Rain never ceases to delight and engage me, and an excellent ensemble cast, capably directed at New Theatre by Trent Kidd, has ensured a fourth marvelous theatrical journey to Turnaround Creek for me.

Those who enjoyed Boeing-Boeing in Adelaide earlier this year should feel right at home with the Rep's production of Don't Dress for Dinner. There may be others who find playwright Camoletti's style to be a bit on the mouldy side these days, but some terrific performers - and a director who clearly knows the territory - do their utmost to dust it off and juice it up.

Melbourne based independent Baker’s Dozen Theatre Company, with the support of Malthouse Theatre, present David Williamson’s AWGIE winning play The Removalists at the Mechanics Institute Brunswick.  Running until the 27th of November it is a must see. It is not designed for easy enjoyment, although I did laugh at some of the extreme truths of malice in parts, a satirical laugh at the disbelief and shamefulness of some of societies evils.

Ballina Players have decided to re visit the “Chicken Farm” for their final offering of the year.

Over 30 performers brought the ‘goings on’ to the people of Ballina with all the Yee Haw they could muster.

Paul Belsham doubled as Director and Musical Director, assisted by his wife Sue and Choreographer Jaime Sheehan to bring this unusual storyline to life with a cast headed by Jacquie McCalman as Miss Mona with Roy Ramsay; Sheriff Ed Earl, Lee Millward; Jewel, Sienna Pamphilon; Aangel and Dylan Wheeler as Melvin P. Thorpe.
