Chairperson's Message

Charlie-pissale

There are so many fantastic shows on offer over the next six months that will have you laughing, singing, crying and in awe.

Laugh with the girls at Breast Wishes and Often I Find That I Am Naked, embrace Australian culture at Rainbow’s End, Krakouer and Waltzing Our Matilda, or experience other cultures with Echoes of
Edinburgh, Oklahoma by Ipswich Orpheus Chorale and Oliver by Ipswich Musical Theatre Company.

Dance your socks off with Shorter+Sweeter and the Festival of Russian Ballet, or enjoy the music of Beccy Cole or Herman’s Hermits.

And the young ones will be enthralled with exciting live shows like Dora the Explorer and Scooby Doo. There are so many reasons to celebrate theatre... and they’re all in the pages of this booklet.
