The Shining Path by Victoria Carless

Theatre

Meet Len. He works in middle level bureaucracy – Consumer Complaints Division. His special talent is answering phones. But when Len’s old mate Dale barges back into his life, our hero is taken waaaaay out of his comfort zone.

Len and Dale share a past, one that briefly features a stint with South American revolutionaries. The pair are separated in a terrorist attack gone wrong. Twenty years later Dale bursts back into Len’s life minus a leg. The pair embark on a madcap, unwieldy train trip around Queensland in pursuit of Dale’s lost leg, where the past and the present collide.

Follow these two Aussie blokes on this random Q-Rail journey where they meet a host of storytelling Queenslanders including the President of the Missing Limbs Association, a trapped miner and a slightly sinister Mr Whippy.

Quirky, sometimes sad, often hilarious and with universal themes of mateship, betrayal and redemption, this play celebrates all that is broken, beautiful and bizarre about Queensland towns and the characters that populate them.

Songbirds - Gina Jeffreys, Sara Storer and Beccy Cole Live

Music

"Songbirds" is the brainchild of the girls themselves. They have been friends for some time and through the years have also guested on each others live shows and recordings, so it seemed to be a natural step for them put together a concept where they could share the stage along with some of their individual songs. Beccy, Gina and Sara are of course three of Australia's most acclaimed and successful country music singers. Between them they have 24 Golden Guitar Awards along with a haul of ARIAs, Entertainer of the Year, APRAs and certified Gold and Platinum sales
awards.

Audiences can not only expect to hear the hit songs from three of the most beautiful individual voices on any stage, any where, but will also be treated to some very special "trio" performances of songs chosen by the girls from their own album collections. It's now more than a decade since Gina Jeffreys won the Toyota Star Maker Quest, marking the start of a remarkable career that's taken Gina to the top of the country music industry. She has earned numerous accolades, performed to sell-out crowds and sold volumes of records. But the release of an exquisite new album, ‘Walks Of Life', heralds a new chapter in the Gina Jeffreys story. Produced by husband Rod McCormack, ‘Walks Of Life' showcases a new vocal maturity on a collection of songs that are near and dear to Gina's heart. There's no disputing that Beccy Cole is the reigning poster girl of Australian country music. In January, Beccy's latest hit single, the heartfelt and honest "Poster Girl (Wrong Side of the World)", swept all before it to take out a remarkable three Golden Guitars at country's most prestigious awards. The hat trick of Golden Guitars is the latest in a long string of successes for Beccy, whose talents as a singer, songwriter and performer have taken her to the forefront of Australian country music over the past year.

This dynamic, appealing singer has it all: personality, a style of her own, enormous talent as both a songwriter and a performer, and oceans of charisma! Sara Storer is undoubtedly one of Australia's most unique singer / songwriters. She defies categorization! Since bursting onto the Australian Music scene just seven years ago with her critically acclaimed album, Chasing Buffalo, Sara has gone onto become one of the most awarded artists in Australian country music history. In 2004 she took out 7 Golden Guitars for her now platinum selling album, Beautiful Circle. She now has 9 Golden Guitars in her collection. In 2005 Sara released her third album, Firefly and toured Australia with legendary Paul Kelly. Recently Sara has been writing for her highly anticipated 4th album which was released in the second half of 2007.

The Sweet & The Radiators

Music

This is the world of the Sweet, the kings of the seventies with the slashing guitars, rebel yell lyrics, feverishly high pitched vocals and harmonies, double time drumming spectacular image, outrageous glam costumes, phenomenal live shows and 4 brilliant musicians. That was The Sweet. The most talented and most underrated rock band from that era.

The Sweet epitomized the UK 70's glam rock movement with their trademark glitter and glam makeup. The Sweet was also a force to be reckoned with in pure rock music terms too. The hits stand the test of time and the current line up with original guitarist Andy Scott still keep the audiences shouting for more!


Little did anyone realize back in 1978 that The Radiators would still be together, still hugely popular and still producing quality music with no signs of slowing down.
Travelling thousands upon thousands of kilometers up, down and across the length and breadth of this vast country, The Radiators have carved a niche in the annals of Aussie Rock history. They have headlined and shared the stage with other great Aussie acts such as AC/DC, Rose Tattoo, Dragon and INXS. 2004 saw the release of The Radiators' 25th Anniversary Album, a compilation of their most popular singles. While this Album sold well and had chart success, the boys were keen to try something new.
In 2008 their controversial single "Gimme Head" was re-recorded and remixed by The Cut in Sydney, and picked up by Melbourne Recording Company, Vicious. The single debuted at No. 25 on the ARIA Club Charts, quickly climbing to No. 9 in the first 5 days. The new "Gimme Head" was snapped up by Australian Fashion Week and featured on their television advertisements shown on Channel 10.

Despite the rigors of touring and the passing of years the spark and energy of The Radiators has not diminished. They continue to do what they do best - tour extensively, play an average of 150 times per year and delight the legions of fans both young and old who still flock to grab a slice of living Aussie Rock history, rocking the night away to the great catchy songs and classic hits that have made The Radiators a household name in Australia.

Not bad for four boys from humble beginnings with big dreams and one wonders what this powerhouse band is capable of producing next.

THE RADIATORS - 30 years old and still going strong!

The Age of Stupid

Theatre

The Age Of Stupid' is the new documentary-drama-animation hybrid from Director Franny Armstrong (McLibel, Drowned Out) and Oscar-winning Producer John Battsek (One Day In September, Live Forever, In the Shadow of the Moon).

Oscar-nominated Pete Postlethwaite (In The Name of the Father, Brassed Off, The Usual Suspects) stars as an old man living in the devastated world of 2055. He watches 'archive' footage from 2008 and asks: Why didn't we stop climate change when we had the chance? Runaway climate change has ravaged the planet by 2055. Pete plays the founder of The Global Archive, a storage facility located in the (now melted) Arctic, preserving all of humanity's achievements in the hope that the planet might one day be habitable again. Or that intelligent life may arrive and make use of all that we've achieved.

He pulls together clips of "archive" news and documentary from 1950-2008 to build a message showing what went wrong and why. He focuses on six human stories.

This is a general admission event, and does not have assigned seating
