Better Than A Blow-Up Doll

6pm Festival Theatre
It is the eve of the apocalypse. But the world isn't going to hell in a handcart; it's a caravan, located on the Festival Theatre Terrace. It's kind of like Doctor Strangelove meets Demtel...



 

Oh My God I'm Black!

6:30 pm Artspace
Island princesses. Absent father. Black girls in white bedrooms singing into hairbrushes, dreaming of a place in the sun. A showcase for one of our community's most talented actor-singers.



 

Kit and the Widow

6:30 pm Banquet Room
Ruthless social commentary and character assassination was never done quite so politely. In the fine old English tradition of 'two men and a piano', we bring you the arch Cowardesque skewings of Britians formeost satirical duo.



 

Eddie Perfect is ANGRY EDDIE

6:45 pm Piano Bar
Assume crash positions. This is kamikaze cabaret. A biting satire about politics, sex, war, apathy, the media and juice bars.



 

Marcia Hines And Band

7pm Dunstan Playhouse
Australia's first lady of song and the Idols idol, star of musicals, icon, the most succesful female performer and recording artist in the history of Australian music. You be the judge.



 

Mr Barbeque

7pm Festival Theatre Stage
Celebrated opera singer Lyndon Terracini is joined by five of Australia's finest musicians to present this very funny and surprisingly moving performance. Whoever holds the tongs holds the power.

An ensemble of brilliantly talented musicians Mikelangelo and The Black Sea Gentlemen waltz, tango and polka their way through a show bristling with energy, humour and beauty.

The Rat Pack's Back

Four of Australia's most eclectic singer/songwriters. Their songs cover classics from Cohen to Ween and the French cabaret greats.
