Rire c'est Guérir!
(Laughter is the best medicine)

June 3rd to 5th @ 7pm
June 5th @ 2pm
Tickets: $30
(Conc: $25; Members: $23; Uni: $15; School: $12)

Join Panache for an evening of French medical fun inspired by rich comic traditions, which go back as for as Molière great 17th century comedies about doctors, charlatans, and hypochondriacs. Based our evening on excerpts from Le Médecin malgré lui and Le Malade imaginaire, as well as material from Jules Romains' 1923 comedy, oe le triomphe de la médecine, we will, we hope, give you something to smile about in these uncertain times.

Moliére two great medical protagonists, Sganarelle and Argan, have entertained audiences for centuries, and we turn to them again to lighten the mood as they shine a comic light on the medical practices of their day. Romains' Docteur Knock, operating just a few years after the Gret War and the Spanish influenza outbreak, is a manic figure in a world where everyone is called to live a truly medical existence. In all these excerpts, and in other skits, we find echoes, which ring true in our current circumstances, but which, nonetheless, can lift our spirits.

As usual, this will perform in French with surtitles in English.

Sixty Sassy and Celebrating!

Friday 4th June @ 7:30pm
Saturday 5th June @ 7:30pm
Tickets: $27.50 - $32

If 60 is the new 40, and 40 is the new 20, when do we finally grow up?

Reaching a significant birthday, Alison Kimber has thrown caution to the winds and reveals the good, the bad and the funny things about growing older in her one-woman show 60 Sassy and Celebrating!

Combining juke box hits of the 60s with more ‘modern’ tunes, Alison’s original show reveals how a little girl was fascinated by 1960s divas like Dusty and thought growing up would be all sequins and big hair.

​But things changed!

Featuring Alison’s trademark warmth, wit and love of a good tune, 60 Sassy and Celebrating! is an engaging mix of music, laughter and thought-provoking revelations.

& The Rough Diamonds Choir

Sun 6th June, 5pm
Sat 12th June, 7:30pm
Tickets: $39.99
(Concession: $30; Group: $30; Child: $15)

​Did you know that the Eurythmics started out in Wagga Wagga, or that both Annie & Jim moved to London from Scotland to try and get their first big break?

This unique and interactive show will take you on an anecdotal & musical journey to salute the Eurythmics, but done of course in the highly entertaining performance style of The BordererS.

An uplifting story that parallels the lives and musical careers of both duos (only a decade apart) from their similar upbringings in the UK, to becoming romantically involved, forming a band together and then travelling and performing all around the world.

The aim of this show is to remind you of how good the Eurythmics were, and to encourage you to sing along to all your favourite classics such as ’Sweet Dreams’, ‘Right By Your Side’ and ‘Who’s That Girl’.

You’re gonna love the high energy, the stories, and be totally enthralled by this nostalgic musical odyssey which includes The BordererS full band, plus a special appearance by the Rough Diamonds Choir (formed just for the occasion).

We guarantee that you will definitely leave the Star Theatre humming all the songs and wanting more – so don’t miss out. BOOK NOW!

Midway To Nowhere

November 2nd, 4th - 6th @ 7pm
Novemeber 7th @ 2pm
Tickets: $30 (Concession $25)

Australia, winter, 1952, and a group of New Australians, migrants from devastated post-war Europe, awaits release from the limbo of life in an Australian migrant camp. These include Greeks, Italians and Serbs. Recent rioters have burnt down camp buildings, triggering armoured intervention by the army. Powerless, the migrants wage war against the camp administration, each other and themselves. Based on actual events at Bonegilla, the most famous of all migrant camps, “Midway to Nowhere” relates a chapter in Australia’s history whose telling is well overdue. This exciting new play is at turns funny, sad, angry and painful. A play that will appeal on many levels:  historically, sociologically; and philosophically, it is a play for all times and all Australians, old and new.
