  • Tu24Nov, 8:00pm: Martin Pearson LIVE! Martin has been described as the world’s funniest male, long-haired, Victorian, piscean folk singer. Formerly of the act “Martin Pearson”, Martin has risen to fame like a dead pigeon in a water tank. He plays the fool in B sharp and is one of the Australian folk scene’s favourite personalities. A performance can include any of: traditional folk standards and ballads (Martin with his beautiful voice and acoustic guitar); pop and rock classics; swing standards; brilliant, topical parodies on any of these; stand up comedy; or a complete one-man retelling of “The Lord of the Rings” performed as a musical - including an analysis of the differences between the book and film versions. Tickets $20 ($15 concession) through the Theatre: 372-2941 or ArtworksTheatre@gmail.com. Doors and café open at 7:15. @ Artworks Community Theatre
  • Sa28Nov 7pm: Celebration@Artworks: As some people may have already seen, our Community Theatre at Artworks has some rather nice new chairs. Gone are those old, green plastic BBQ chairs — replaced by 120 brand-new padded seats covered in a very fetching dark red fabric. The arrival of the seats marks the end of an 18-month project to upgrade its facilities by the group of volunteers that now runs the theatre. During that period the group has raised over $40,000 to improve the acoustics, purchase a new PA system, install an internal communications system, buy several new stage lights, replace the lighting control system and — finally — to give the audience something softer to sit upon! To celebrate the end of 18 months of hard work, there will be another Evening@Artworks, where a wide variety of entertainers bring their talents and expertise in to entertain all comers. Admission is free to all, and you're invited to bring a plate to share for supper. The doors and café will open at 6:30, with entertainment starting at 7:00. If you'd like to perform a song, dance, reading, mime, skit or whatever, please contact the Theatre on 372-2941 or ArtworksTheatre@gmail.com. @ Artworks Community Theatre
