ONCE more Healesville University of the Third Age Theatrical Group (U3A) will be putting on a show that is sure to have audiences dancing, laughing and singing in their seats.
This November, the thespian group of “jolly players” will be having their annual Variety show at Healesville High School – an event not to be missed.
The show guarantees an afternoon of jubilation, with sketches, monologues, comedy routines and ‘sing along bits’ included there will be plenty for audiences to watch and enjoy.
Making a re-appearance will be Doug Fudge who when matched with his guitar and hilarity, and perhaps some of his ukulele class, will guarantee a great afternoon.
Stars from far and wide will be participating, and over 30 enthusiastic actors and actresses have been practicing diligently for the performance date.
Of the 30 actors and actresses taking part in the show many are well known-locals and you never know who you might see performing.
The performance is sure to be fantastic with the U3A group practicing meticulously by holding regular practice and dress rehearsals in the last month in preparation for the performance date on 19 November.
The performance will take place on Saturday 19 November, at 2pm, at the Healesville High School on Cameron’s Road.
Tickets are only $5 and can be purchased either at the Healesville Senior Citizens Hall on a Thursday from 10.30am to noon, or at the theatre door on the day of the show – but you’ll have to get in quick as seats are filling fast.
Don’t forget to make a note in your diary as this performance is guaranteed to be a delightful afternoon filled with laughs, entertainment and fun.
