The premiere of Tap Cats of the Sunshine Coast was a huge success, with all four shows sold out. Congratulations to author/playwright Christine Sykes, director Katie Peach and their sterling cast!

With mulled wine and a three-course meal

Riversong, this year’s Singers Supper Show, will be staged on the evenings of June 21 and June 28. After a glass of mulled wine on arrival, guests will enjoy a three-course meal prepared by volunteers under the direction of Sian Morgan. We are also offering a soiree performance on Sunday, June 29 with light refreshments after the show. If you enjoy cooking, have menu suggestions, and want to get involved with your culinary skills, we would love to hear from you. Email me at lmitsak@y7mail.com.

This year’s show has a range of songs from classical to farcical, interspersed with plenty of audience participation. It also showcases our members’ instrumental talents as they accompany some songs with flute, violin, accordion, saxophone, clarinet, piano and even an oboe.

If you’re interested in checking out SPAT Singers, under the direction of the multi-talented Lindy Sharp, come along to the Stanwell Park CWA Hall Friday evenings at 7:30 and partake of beautiful music, wonderful company and delicious eats!

Peter and the Wolf

We are in discussions with the Wollongong Conservatorium of Music about collaborating on the staging of Peter and Wolf. We are very excited about breaking new ground and testing uncharted waters with this joint endeavour.

The show is set to be staged on the first week in July, on Friday 5th and Saturday 6th, and on the last weekend in August, Friday 29th and Saturday 30th.

Stay tuned.
