AC/DC – IF YOU WANT BLOOD

A Musical Salute from the son of Bon Scott! The Ultimate AC/DC Tribute!

In 1967 Bon Scott’s star was rising while his son was adopted out in the Victorian town of Ballarat. Dave Stevens was adopted out to a loving family in Geelong Victoria living a normal childhood while his real father was taking over the world with his band AC/DC.

It was not until two years after Bon’s death that Dave would find out from his long lost biological mother that Dave was, in fact, the prodigy of the legend Bon Scott. Not until now has Dave Stevens been able to put all drama behind him and make a choice to celebrate his heritage and perform some of the classics that his famous father had written and sung that are so etched in the minds of people all over the world. Songs like “TNT.” “LET THERE BE ROCK” and “LONG WAY TO THE TOP” just to name a few.

A show of hit after hit and stories that few have ever heard, Dave will share some stories that were told to him by close friends of Bon’s. The aptly named show “If You want Blood” is a ninety-minute power charged punch you in the face experience that will have you coming back for more!

KEVIN BLOODY WILSON - F.U.P.C WORLD TOUR

The Kevin Bloody Wilson Show is not just a concert performance, for most, it’s a full on event and an opportunity to tick from your bucket-list a chance to see Australia’s most unique International comedy legend. Kevin has become a national institution - a must see for any person wanting to see absolute original Australian comedy.

It seems ironic that twenty-five years ago, Kevin Bloody Wilson was being arrested for performing his songs in public, yet on Australia Day in January 2010, he was officially nominated for Australian Of The Year for doing exactly the same thing.

Now, Kev tours often in Australia and internationally, always to large audiences of adoring fans.

Well done Kev, you’ve done us proud. Don’t miss the legend in a venue near you!

EUPHORIA By Emily Steel

A Country Town. A Festival. A local tragedy and a town that doesn’t talk. This tale of good days, bad days and everything in between catapults us right into the heart of this little town where everyone knows everyone, and where Ethan is hit by his past and Meg struggles with the present. As the festival unfolds, Meg and Ethan’s worlds collide as the community comes together for an event they’ll never forget.

This brand new play is a rich and heart-warming story from award-winning South Australian playwright Emily Steel, bringing regional voices to the fore and an entire town to life with authenticity and unmistakable wit.

QUEEN - BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY

For those of you who never got quite that lucky…. The Show Must Go On…. And it does….. with Bohemian Rhapsody !!

Bohemian Rhapsody starts their performance from the music of the 1970’s – the decade and leather and long hair, through to the 80’s and 90’s when Queen were the hottest act in music, with such immortal rock hits as “Crazy Little Thing Called Love”, “We Will Rock You” “We Are The Champions” and of course “Bohemian Rhapsody”.

Thomas Crane is arguably the best Freddie Mercury in Australia if not the World. He sounds like Freddie, looks like Freddie and get the crowd’s reaction just like Freddie.

Everything is here, right down to the trademark cheeky banter and singing contests between Freddie and his audience. Bohemian Rhapsody manage to take everything that made a Queen show unique, and bring it back to life before your very eyes and ears. Featuring some of Australia’s best musicians Bohemian Rhapsody will leave you with an unforgettable Queen experience.

THE SAPPHIRES

The Sapphires is one of the Australia’s best-loved stories. Winning multiple awards as a play, film and soundtrack album there was one challenge left and that was to undertake a national tour of Australia and bring this story directly to local stages. Four young Aboriginal country music singers in regional Australia suddenly get the chance to change their tune and their lives.

The Sapphires is a funny, heart-warming tale inspired by the true story of Tony Briggs’ mother – the incredible journey of four Yorta Yorta Women, who sing classic soul hits against the backdrop of massive social upheaval.

Written and Directed by Tony Briggs.

THE GIRL WHO JUMPED OFF THE HOLLYWOOD SIGN

An aspiring actress, Evie Edwards, clutches the sides of the Hollywood sign. Looking out over the lights of Los Angeles and the movie studios that produced her nightmare, she charts a path through Hollywood’s forgotten histories to decide her fate. She has only ever wanted one thing: to be a star.

Previously performed in New York, Hollywood and Edinburgh – now it’s coming to regional SA.

★★★★★ “It’s a fascinating look at the mechanisms behind the golden era of the silver screen… which entertains while managing to draw even more parallels with today’s Hollywood in the wake of the #MeToo movement.” Patrick McDonald, The Advertiser
