THE PLAYERS THEATRE INC. presents
CURTAINS - THE MUSICAL WHODUNIT 24 August 9 September
Fridays & Saturdays, 8pm Saturdays & Sundays, 2pm
It’s 1959 – and the opening night performance of Robbin’ Hood!, “a new musical of the Old West”. The curtains rise on the show’s merciful finale. Act Two - Scene 23. A sour note is sounded by the voice of faded film star Jessica Cranshaw, who can’t act, can’t sing, and can’t dance — not even a little. When the hapless star dies on opening night during her curtain call, Lieutenant Frank Cioffi arrives on the scene. However, the lure of the theatre proves irresistible and after an unexpected romance blooms, he finds himself just as drawn toward making the show a hit, as he is in solving the murder. Curtains was created by Tony Award Winners Rupert Holmes, Fred Ebb & John Kander of Chicago & Cabaret acclaim. Director: Simone Sherrin Choreographer: Rose Hawkins Stage Manager: Cate Storen

Wing began as a street artist and has since expanded his practice to incorporate photomedia, installation and painting. Influenced by his bi-cultural upbringing, Wing explores the ongoing challenges that impact his wider community. Wing will be Artist in Residence from 9 – 20 July 2018. During this time Wing will be working on new work which will form part of his exhibition at the Glasshouse from 13 October to 2 December. This is a great opportunity to meet a contemporary Australian artist and discuss his arts practice. A Glasshouse Regional Gallery developed program connecting artists to the local community.
