Lilydale Athenaeum Theatre

Moon Over Buffalo

Fast paced with an abundance of mishaps Moon Over Buffalo will prove to be as delightfully funny as Suite Surrender.

With gorgeous 1950s gowns, this screwball comedy is in the old tradition of farces… set in 1953 Buffalo NY – definitely OFF OFF BROADWAY- where two mature -aged actors, who are married to each other have one last chance to make it big big in Hollywood if only their play goes off well in front of Hollywood Mega Director, Frank Capra…

Get a good belly laugh with slamming doors, aplenty, backstage shenanigans and larger than life personalities that inhabit the world of theatre.

Season opens on 13 March.

Bookings: lilydaleatc.com or 88736 1777 on Mondays, Tuesdays or Fridays.

Eltham Little Theatre

Diary of Anne Frank

January 27th marked the 80th anniversary of the Auschwitz liberation.

The over-riding sentiment was simply never, ever again.

Sadly, such horrors have reoccurred.

We can change this.

Let us heed the words of those who suffered for simply being different and ensure these atrocities never happen again.

“I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are really good at heart.” Anne Frank.

Season: 21 February – 8 March.
