After our home pick up service is complete we depart Adelaide Airport to connect with our flight to Sydney. Upon our arrival in Sydney, we are transferred to our city accommodation. After checking into our hotel, the rest of the afternoon is free. Tonight will be a night to remember as we enjoy dinner cruising on the wonderful Sydney Harbour . Sydney’s most elegant way to dine afloat on the “MV Sydney 2000” , synonymous with luxurious a la carte dining and first class service. We will enjoy the entertainment and dancing, and sip a drink under the stars from the spacious upper deck. Our coach will be waiting at the end of the evening to transfer us back to the hotel. (Lunch own expense, Dinner cruise) Sebel Surry Hills, Sydney – 02 9213 3802 Day 02: (BD): SYDNEY AND “ANNIE” – Wednesday 07 March, 2012 Today, we take in some of the sights of this great city. We make our way to the harbour foreshore and Mrs Macquarie’s Chair . The chair was carved out of the sandstone by convicts for Governor Lachlan Macquarie’s wife in order for her to watch the activity on the harbour and await the arrival of Ships from England. The point provides us with wonderful views of the Sydney Opera House , Harbour Bridge and Fort Denison . We continue our sightseeing as we travel through exclusive Double Bay to Vaucluse and then Watson Bay and the ‘Gap’ on the southern side of the Sydney Harbour Heads. From here, we visit the famous Bondi Beach and have time to take a stroll along the promenade and a chance to pick up lunch before our matinee performance. We arrive at the Lyric Theatre for the timeless tale of Little Orphan Annie , giving us the chance to experience this classic musical about never giving up hope. Boasting one of Broadway's most memorable scores, including It’s the Hard-Knock Life, Easy Street, N.Y.C. and the ever- optimistic Tomorrow, Annie is one of the most awarded and loved musicals of all time. Reprising one of his all time favourite roles as the charismatic New York “zillionaire” Daddy Warbucks, is Anthony Warlow. He will be joined by the ever popular Nancye Hayes playing everyone’s favourite villain Miss Hannigan. Todd McKenney, Chloe Dallimore and Julie Goodwin also bring their talents to this delightful musical. I’m sure we will be singing all the way back to our accommodation this afternoon! The rest of the afternoon is free to do as we wish. We will have dinner at the hotel this evening. (Breakfast and Dinner in the hotel, Lunch own arrangements/cost) Day 03 (BD): BLUE MOUNTAINS – Thursday 08 March, 2012 The Blue Mountains are a spectacular part of Australia’s heritage. The National Park conserves some 218,000 hectares of rugged beauty with a variety of terrain, a diversity of microclimates and vast ecological wealth. Our first stop this morning is in the pretty village of Leura – a name which is aboriginal for "lava". It was given to the village because of the area's wealth of volcanic stones. It is the rich volcanic soil that's responsible for Leura's international reputation of possessing some of the nation's most beautiful gardens and tree-lined streets. We enjoy morning tea at Bygone Beautys . This is the largest private emporium of Antiques and collectables in the Blue Mountains. A trove for treasure hunters and all who love a living touch of history. Take a trip down memory lane as we browse around rooms filled with jewellery, furniture, fine china, dinner services, dolls and toys. Everywhere we look we will see an array of teapots, old and new, rare or common, the selection is astounding. From Leura, we take the scenic Cliff Drive to Echo Point and the Three Sisters at Katoomba where we stop for a photo opportunity. Near here is Scenic World where we take a ride on the Scenic Railway , the world's steepest incline railway. We descend 415m down the escarpment at a gradient of 52 degrees and travel through the tunnel and ancient rainforest. When we disembark, we take the 300m rainforest boardwalk to connect with the Flyway platform. The Scenic Flyway is the steepest aerial cable car in Australia. It will take us on a 545 metre ride up through the World Heritage Listed rainforest of the Jamison Valley. Finally we board the brand new Scenic Skyway to take the 720 metre journey 270m above ancient ravines and dazzling waterfalls. This ride boasts a world first, state of the art Electro-Sceni Glass Floor. At the flip of a switch breath taking views are revealed through the cabin floor directly below. The 360 degree birdseye view takes in the Three Sisters, Katoomba Falls, Mount Solitary and the never ending expanse of the Jamison Valley. Wow! When we alight, our coach captain will be waiting for us to take us back to Sydney. (Breakfast and Dinner at the hotel, Lunch own expense) Day 04 (B): SYDNEY TO ADELAIDE – Friday 09 March, 2012 This morning we pack our bags and complete our check-out procedures. Our local coach will transfer us back to Sydney Airport to connect with our flight back to Adelaide.

  • Chapel Off Chapel : April 21- May 2 the SOUND YOU HEAR IS NOT a TECHNICAL PROBLEM
    chapel off chapel : april 21- may 2 THE SOUND YOU HEAR IS NOT A TECHNICAL PROBLEM. PURSUED BY BEAR ITS A MUSICAL CUE. In 1990, while facing his milestone thirtieth birthday, Jonathon Larson wrote and starred in a one-man autobiographical musical, or “rock monologue”, called Bo- hemia, in which he adeptly and poignantly depicts a struggling creative artist who wonders how much longer he can sanely balance his passion and goals with the stumbling blocks of life - relationship, job, money, doubts, fears. Thankfully Larson persevered. His next creation was the nineties rock musical RENT. Unfairly and now infamously, Larson died in 1996 at the age of thirty-five, the night before RENT opened off-Broadway and began its wildly successful global run that showcased Larson’s award-winning brand of art-imitating-life-im- itating-art talent. In 2001, Larson’s one-man show was reconfigured into a three-actor chamber musical by Pulitzer prize-winning playwright David Auburn and renamed tick, tick...

  • A Note from Reg Livermore
    A NOTE FROM REG LIVERMORE Nancye and I have keenly anticipated this chance to work together again, throughout the course of our extensive careers our paths have crossed too rarely. While playing in Opera Australia’s 2008 production of My Fair Lady we talked of devising a kind of autobiographical entertainment that might catch us an audience. Almost two years ago I began to write a show that is now called Turns, it isn’t exactly the show we discussed but it does I think give us a chance to show what we’re made of, show what we like to do on stage and what we think we do best, a series of theatrical turns tailored especially for this occasion. More than that it salutes the particular traditions in the theatre to which we are significant links; what we’ve done and observed in show business for so long now informs the nature and essence of our performances. Turns is a broad reflection on show business, matters of identity, of family and dependency, of the memory, and the commonality of an experience that lies ahead for most of us. Intertwined are some outrageous fun and games, elements of mystery, echoes of slapstick, 1940’s film noir gets a nod as does the music-hall, vaudeville, cabaret, above all traditional pantomime. This kaleidoscopic rainbow of theatrical styles underscores our storyline and makes for an evening in the theatre we hope is appealing and moving. We wouldn’t be standing up in front of you at all but for our producer, Christine Dunstan who has been enthusiastic from the outset; she is a rare breed, a commercial producer prepared to initiate, encourage and develop a show from scratch, she is one whose great love of the theatre has always emboldened her to take the risks.

  • Minnie & Liraz
    MINNIE & LIRAZ by Lally Katz Welcome At the beginning of every play’s rehearsal period we feel a great sense of excitement, but never more so than when it’s a world premiere of a new Australian work. In the case of Minnie & Liraz, it’s both a new Australian play and a truly Melbourne story, and I am thrilled that it’s Melbourne’s audiences who get to see its first presentation in the world. Minnie & Liraz has humour, honesty, warmth and imagination in spades, taking its audience on a wild and unpredictable ride. So strap yourselves in for some delicious twists and turns! Written by the inimitable Lally Katz and directed by Anne-Louise Sarks, this production brings together a wonderful team of actors and creative artists along with a little slice of Caulfield to MTC’s home in the Arts Centre – the Fairfax Studio. Throughout May, MTC’s stages are filled with three brand new Australian plays – Three Little Words, Melbourne Talam and Minnie & Liraz. They are three very different stories, but each a wonderful example of the work of the unique and talented writers we have in this country. MTC has a long history of working with and supporting local writers and our commitment remains as steadfast as ever. It fills me with immense pride that Melbourne audiences continue to echo this support by being such great advocates for new works, so thank you and I hope you enjoy this world premiere production. See you at the theatre!
