The Wedding Singer
THIS toe-tapping musical opens on Friday 5 July at 8pm at the TAS Hoskins Centre.
With a young, energetic cast, a light romantic story and breezy ’80s numbers, The Wedding Singer will be a ray of sunshine in the depths of winter.
A two-week run including matinees will give everyone a chance to catch the show. It’s fun, heart-warming and even makes a point about not giving up when you’re down. Tickets online at www.adms.org.au or news Xpress Carr’s in the Mall, Armidale.
Human Rights
A LECTURE by tireless and outspoken advocate, Hon. Judi Moylan MP, on Australia’s treatment of refugees, past and present. Presented by Sanctuary on Wednesday 10 July in the Town Hall at 6pm with refreshments beforehand. $15 at the door. A fund-raiser for Sanctuary.
Armidale – Our Town
A PLAY to celebrate 150 years of Local Government. The play traces the story of Armidale from its beginnings to now. Definitely not a history lesson but snippets of the past enlivened with music and song. Two workshops to discuss the project have garnered a wealth of ideas. If you love local history, act, sing, dance, play music, make costumes, create sets, do fantastic lighting and sound, or just have good ideas, this may be for you. This production will be staged on 22 and 23 November. Contact Barbara on 042772 9529/ bhalbury @bigpond.com
