We continue this year’s delightful 2011 Subscription Season with plenty more for you to enjoy including the amazing acrobatics of Circus Oz, shattered innocence of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, the roar of Julius Caesar, the stage swaying The Man the Sea Saw, and the stunning Bangarra dance theatre Mathinna. It’s time to celebrate because we’re turning 25! December will kick off our year long party but we’ll need your help to bring your Centre alive! Four local Graphic Designers will have the chance to see their creativity brighten the cover of What’s On throughout 2012 and you are invited to celebrate not only the Centre’s past but future too. Continuing to foster Regional Stages programming, six young actors will show off their talent while working alongside a professional director, high calibre crew and production team to bring you the 2011 Youth Theatre Project The Good Doctor. Join us to celebrate the big events of the year, Melbourne Cup, Christmas and New Years. Don’t forget to book tickets early and dress to impress! We’ve got lots of exciting shows and activities to keep the kids entertained too. Join the glittering magic of The Fairies, help Scooby-Doo solve his latest mystery, defeat a big scary bear with Plop!, or make a play-date and create your very own works of art with the Gallery at Surrealism for Kids On Tour.
See you at the show.
