SUMMARY:Lemon Tree on Dreg Street
DESCRIPTION:Dirty Pennies Theatre Project and Theatre Works proudly present the world premiere of \nLemon Tree on Dreg Street\nWritten by Amy May Nunn\nDirected by Miranda Middleton \n“The dawn is almost dressed\, still puttin’ on its socks\, pullin’ up its undies. Night air still fuzzy in its throat. Somethin’s cooking. The juices are getting… juicy.” \nTwiglet and Boots live in a ramshackle house on the outskirts of suburbia\, where buildings just wait to be gobbled up by developers. The pair is determined to make the most of Summer before Boots moves out to work for their Mum’s company. But with an old Possum marrying their lemon tree\, a vagabond Cowgirl officiating the ceremony\, and a Vulture circling the property\, things are bound to get interesting… \nIncorporating music\, imagination\, ritual and revelry\, Lemon Tree on Dreg Street is a heart-on-its-sleeve ode to those who slip through the cracks\, a love letter to the places we make sacred\, and a celebration of the deep human need for belonging. Written by Amy May Nunn and directed by Miranda Middleton\, this 2023 Midsumma Festival premiere invites Victorian audiences to celebrate a wedding like no other\, with a community of wonderfully oddball characters\, poetry… and more than a handful of lemons. \nLaunched in 2017\, Dirty Pennies Theatre Project is a Naarm/Melbourne-based company dedicated to the fostering and development of new work with a particular focus on women\, non-binary and queer voices\, accessibility and daring. Their ethos is rooted in a shared passion for the art of theatre-making and work that asks something more of an audience than to simply be entertained. \nAlthough\, they are very big fans of that entertainment part\, too. \nPraise for Amy May Nunn:\n★★★★ “Emotionally finessed and brilliantly paced.” – Theatre People (Pramkicker)\n“A rip roaring-good time” – Milk Bar Mag (Pramkicker)\n“Amy May Nunn is impeccably eloquent.”- Stage Whispers (Pramkicker) \nWritten by Amy May Nunn\nDirected by Miranda Middleton\nFeaturing Ayesha Harris-Westman\, Ziggy Resnick\, Michelle Perera\, Alex Donnelly\, Milo Hartill and Hayley Edwards\nProduced by Danielle Goder\nSet and Costume Design by Casey Harper-Wood\nLighting Design by Aron Murray\nComposition/Sound Design by Oliver Beard\nStage Management by Brigette Jennings\nImage by Underground Media\nPublicity by Sassy Red PR \n27 January to 4 February\, 2023\nMon – Sat 7:30pm\, Sat 2pm (4 Feb only)\nOpening Night Saturday 28th January\nTickets: $35 Full\, $30 Concession and Preview\, $20 at 20 and Mob Tix (+ booking fees)\nBookings: (03) 9534 3388 or online at www.theatreworks.org.au/2023/lemon-tree-on-dreg-street\nVenue: Theatre Works – 14 Acland Street\, St Kilda\nwww.dirtypenniestheatreproject.com \nDuration: 70 mins\, no interval\nSuitable for ages 12+\nWarnings: Contains references to drugs\, adult themes\, and coarse language

SUMMARY:The MILF and Mistress
DESCRIPTION:Red Hot Productions proudly presents\, as a part of the 2023 Midsumma Festival\, the premiere season of \nThe MILF and Mistress\nWritten by Jane Montgomery Griffiths\nDirected by Dianne Toulson \nDoes happily ever after simply expire? \nThree pets\, two sons\, one wife\, a rainbow-hued suburban dream\, and one very frustrated MILF. Ali Henderson has it all… but it’s just. not. enough. \nA middle-aged woman is before us. This is Ali. She’s intelligent and seems confident\, but deep down she’s completely insecure and a bit of a dag. Outwardly\, she’s living the lesbian dream! Smoke and mirrors\, baby. Smoke and mirrors. \nCan having everything you’ve ever wanted stop you from becoming everything you’ve ever needed? \nA dynamic and darkly comic new Australian work\, The MILF and Mistress is a rare and compelling theatrical event that centres on the older lesbian experience. Brought to the stage by a powerhouse female team including writer Jane Montgomery Griffiths\, director Dianne Toulson and actor Jennifer Vuletic\, it angles a bright spotlight on how Saturday soccer\, school runs\, and flannelette pyjamas all work to keep us in a comfortable domestic slumber. \nUntil a well-placed riding crop wakes us up. \nPlaying as a part of the 2023 Midsumma Festival at Theatre Works\, one of Australia’s longest-running independent theatres\, The MILF and Mistress is an exciting addition to the vast and vibrant array of shows the organisation will support throughout the year. Known for constantly reinvigorating and reimagining the sector\, Theatre Works champions artists and work that embraces difference and celebrates risk by continually providing a platform for marginalised conversations and voices. \nWritten by Jane Montgomery Griffiths\nDirected by Dianne Toulson\nPerformed by Jennifer Vuletic\nDramaturg: Briony Dunn\nLighting Design by Niklas Pajanti\nVisual Design by David Nelson\nSet and Costume Designed by Dianne Toulson\nSet Realisation by Dave Angelico\nSound Design/Live Video by Tom Ray\nCreative Associate: Steven Mitchell Wright\nStage Manager: Peta Coy\nPublicity by Sassy Red PR \n27 January to 4 February\, 2023\nMon – Sat 8pm\, Sat 2pm (4 Feb only)\nOpening Night Friday 27 January\nTickets: $35 Full\, $30 Concession (+ booking fee)\nBookings: (03) 9534 3388 or online at www.theatreworks.org.au/2023/the-milf-and-mistress\nVenue: Explosives Factory – 67 Inkerman St\, St Kilda (enter via rear of Thrifty-Link Hardware)\nwww.theatreworks.org.au \nDuration: 75 mins\, no interval\nSuitable for ages 18+\nWarnings: Nudity\, Dominance and Submission scenes\, Sexual References

SUMMARY:‘Judy Australia 1964’
DESCRIPTION:Relive the Judy Garland concert tour of Australia that made headlines around the world\nStarring multi award winners Nina Ferro and Matt Hetherington\, JUDY • AUSTRALIA • 1964 recreates the dramatic roller-coaster that was Judy Garland’s infamous tour down under in May of 1964.\nThe early ’60s saw Garland cement her reputation as one of the world’s greatest live performers. Her award-winning Judy At Carnegie Hall live album brought her a new legion of fans\, and her television series allowed her public to see she was no longer Dorothy in The Wizard Of Oz.\nThis was the Garland that Australia was desperate to see. And they did – in Sydney – spectacularly. Her two shows there were received\, and reviewed\, rapturously.\nBy the time she got to Melbourne\, however\, she was in bad shape. It seemed that a lifetime of personal demons and substance abuse had finally caught up with her. She arrived at Festival Hall 70-minutes late and gave a performance that angered many in the audience\, and devastated her die-hard fans.\nFor this production\, one of Australia’s greatest jazz singers\, Nina Ferro\, becomes Judy Garland. She is mesmerising as The Legend\, singing many of her show-stopping songs. Helpman Award winning actor Matt Hetherington plays entrepreneur Harry M Miller.\nTold from the perspective of entrepreneur Harry M Miller\, and supported with an 8-piece showband\, JUDY • AUSTRALIA • 1964 recounts the drama of Garland’s twelve days in Oz\, but ultimately celebrates the brilliance of an icon – one whose like we will never see again.

SUMMARY:Forever Fabulous\, Forever Queer By Alistair Fowler
DESCRIPTION:Slogans have been vital in empowering the queer community\, serving as powerful expressions of identity\, tools for social change\, and catalysts for dialogue. These concise and impactful phrases encapsulate the struggles and triumphs of the LGBTQ+ movement\, helping to shape both individual identities and collective action.\nAt the core of the queer community\, slogans like “Love is Love” and “Born This Way” affirm the dignity and validity of diverse identities. These phrases resonate deeply\, offering a sense of belonging and self-acceptance to those who may feel marginalised. They distil complex emotions and experiences into simple\, memorable statements that foster unity and pride.\nSlogans have also been instrumental in driving social change. For example\, “Silence = Death\,” a rallying cry during the AIDS crisis\, mobilised people to fight for the rights and survival of those affected. This powerful slogan raised awareness and spurred activism at a critical time. More recently\, “Trans Rights are Human Rights” has become central to the struggle against discrimination and violence toward transgender individuals. These slogans have the power to galvanise movements\, rallying support for causes and pushing for legislative and societal change.\nIn addition\, slogans challenge societal norms and provoke important conversations. “We’re Here\, We’re Queer\, Get Used to It” boldly demanded visibility and acceptance\, confronting biases and sparking dialogue about equality. These slogans serve as tools for raising awareness and driving cultural shifts\, encouraging society to reflect on issues of acceptance and human rights.\nAs the queer community evolves\, so do its slogans\, reflecting current challenges and priorities. Whether it’s “Love Wins” following marriage equality victories or “Protect Trans Kids” in the face of ongoing struggles\, these evolving slogans keep the movement’s momentum alive. They ensure that the fight for equality and justice remains relevant and visible.
