The Wizard of Aus, a pantomime

Written and directed by Laura Coyne

Dorothy’s adventure goes down under in this riotous pantomime, bursting with Aussie characters, Cairns flair, audience participation, toe-tapping tunes, and sun-soaked laughs celebrating mateship, courage and finding your way home.

Rehearsals will be:

Monday evenings 6-8pm
Thursday evenings 6-8pm
Sunday mornings 9am-12pm

Performance dates are:

Wednesdays 25 Nov (Preview Night), 2 Dec and 9 Dec @ 7pm
Fridays 27 Nov, 4 Dec and 11 Dec @ 7pm
Saturdays 28 Nov, 5 Dec and 12 Dec 1pm and 5pm
Sundays 29 Nov and 6 Dec @ 1pm and 5pm

All of these characters are larger than life and twice as gorgeous!

Please do not audition unless you are available for ALL of the performance dates.
