A TOP TEN OF THE WORST SONGS EVER RELEASED
From someone who knows!!!
The Needle And The Damage Done is a joyous romp through a top ten of the worst music ever released in the history of the world, from someone who’s been collecting bad vinyl since she was old enough to shoplift a Rolf Harris record. Since selling out at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, stand-up comic and DJ Fiona Scott-Norman has performed Needle at The Sydney Opera House, won a Green Room Innovation in Cabaret Award, and appeared on ABC TV’s Collectors.
Part slide-show, part show and tell, part cabaret, part stand-up, and directed by Comedy Inc’s Paul McCarthy, The Needle And The Damage Done takes audiences on an hysterical journey through the appalling musical excesses of William Shatner, VFL footballers, christians, Bernard King, white supremacists, Torville and Dean, racists, and John Laws. Two parts nostalgia, two parts cultural satire, ten parts shock and awe comedy.

 Have you ever found yourself thinking "I'm bored and there is nothing to do, the whether is horrible and life has dealt you a boring card" well never fear Narnia is here . .
Come and join the adventure of four children named Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy. They go to the country to live in the large, mysterious house of an old Professor during the London air raids. One rainy day, the children take the opportunity to explore the house, peeking into spare bedrooms and old passageways, until Lucy, the youngest, pauses to look into a large wardrobe sitting in an empty room. She crawls past the long fur coats and finds herself standing in the middle of a forest. It is night, and snow is falling, though in London, it is summer. She walks toward an iron lamp-post and, thinking it is strange to come to a lamp-post in the middle of a wood, is met by a very surprised faun. . . .
I am sure you all know how the story goes, but have you seen it performed by Creative Works Youth Theatre, Live at QPT, so come and support the wonderful local talents of Geraldton’s youth.

The Kursk
By Sasha Janowicz

 An inspiring true story of hope, courage and love.
Winner of Best New Australian Play
Winner of Best Direction
Winner of Best Independent Production.
(2007 Matildas Awards)
A Russian submarine mysteriously vanished in August 2000. The wreckage was eventually discovered on the bottom of the ocean with 23 survivors trapped inside.
This extraordinary play reveals the true story behind the ill-fated submarine The Kursk. Compelling from beginning to end, the pressure is extreme and the stakes are high.
The sailors wait helplessly, trapped 80 metres beneath the sea. On the surface their rescuers work frantically. Many have friends trapped on board. Admiral Popov, their leader, is under extreme pressure to succeed at all costs. If he doesn’t, there will be a nuclear disaster in the Atlantic.
All the while families and loved ones are desperate for any news. A young woman waits for her sailor, as he writes her love letters while trapped inside The Kursk.
The Kursk is a thriller, a mystery and a love story.
