After a year’s hiatus on performances, Stanwell Park Arts Theatre (SPAT) came back in style in July, with a winter show to warm the cockles of your heart.

The annual SPAT Singers Show, A Seasonal Soirée, was a mix of old and new, serious and silly, up-beat and meditative music. In other words: something for everyone, including the chance to sing along!

Local filmmaker Iris Huizinga went behind the scenes to chat to musical director Rod Lander. Watch the video below or on our YouTube channel.

The Singers performed on the first two weekends in July at the CWA hall in Stanwell Park.

New SPAT president Kelly-Maree Michael said: “We are back with a bang and a big reason to celebrate! The SPAT/CWA Committee have done a tremendous job with the hall renovations, most notably the fabulous new deck, amidst challenges including Covid, complex planning regulations and rising material costs. The results are simply stunning and will serve the Stanwell Park community for years to come.”
