Blithe Spirit

by Noel Coward

Waiting for God

by Michael Aitkens

Tickets on Sale 16 March 2020

30 April — 16 May
Directors: Doug Moses and Sheryl Roche

Unhappily thrown together in a place they don’t want to be, two spirited residents of Bay view Retirement Village, where stepping out of line is strictly frowned upon, form an alliance and begin to give the home’s oppressive management a run for its money. Growing old disgracefully is the name of the game!

Cynical, cantankerous, unmarried, retired photojournalist Diana constantly complains about everything and has no time for anyone in this “God’s Waiting Room” except the jovial, optimistic ex-accountant Tom. Between them they systematically and gleefully set out running rings around the jumped-up management team. Their own family members, Diana’s niece and Tom’s son, don’t escape the mayhem either.

An hilarious stage adaption of the BBC comedy series of the same name which will resonate with all who have faced the prospect of themselves or a family member making the lifestyle change to living in a retirement facility.

Rated: M. Some coarse language and adult themes.

Inconceivable
by Hugh O’Brien

Investigative journalist for the online newspaper QNEWS, Caitlin Cole, discovers that the birth rate in a low socioeconomic community in south-east Queensland has mysteriously plummeted over the last three years. Teenage pregnancies at the local high school have gone from 14 to zero while there have been precious few planned
pregnancies. At first the cause is thought to be a fungicide used by nearby grape growers.

But as Caitlin overcomes the scepticism of her editor and digs deeper, she uncovers the real reason for the low birth rate.

Rated: M. Adult themes.

Stroke
by Mark Lucas

Two bumbling crooks are holed up in a seedy motel room after their most recent robbery has gone very wrong. A sight impaired man and his wife let themselves into the room insisting that the room is theirs. The fact that the man’s wife is also vision-impaired leads to further misunderstandings and
this farcical situation descends into hilarious chaos.

Rated MA 15+. Frequent coarse language.

Ladies Day

Directors: Jane Sheppard and Di Johnston

Work, love and life are just one long, hard slog for factory workers Pearl, Jan, Shelley and Linda. But their fortunes are
set to change when Linda finds tickets to Ladies’ Day at racing’s day of the year.

Out go the hairnets, overalls and wellies as the four ditch work, do themselves up to the nines and head off to the races for a drink, a flirt and a flutter. If their luck holds, they could hit the jackpot – and more besides.

Factory hairnets make way for fascinators in this warmhearted and poignant comedy about a day of fun, untold secrets, optimism and the precious joy of friendship.

Rated M: Adult themes and some mild coarse language.

My Fair Empire

Director: David Austin
Assistant Directors: Jo Robbins, Tracey Spence and Courtney Murrin

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away…………

The year was 2011 and the best ever intergalactic Theatre Restaurant graced the stage of the Incinerator Theatre.
That show was The Force and I, a completely ridiculous musical parody of the beloved Star Wars movie, A New Hope.

And now the sequel has arrived — My Fair Empire!

Come and witness how The Empire Strikes Back has been lovingly ripped off to create another fun night of laughs,
singing and food. Come and see if Lube Skystalker finally becomes a Jedi; if
Princess Laidup has gone dry and become an AA member; if Dark Vapour still smells and if Ham Yoyo gets the girl. All of the answers to these questions will be revealed.

Rated M: Adult Themes and coarse language .
