The Mystery at Dunbar Mansion

Adapted and directed by LaVerne Kirton. A Youth Theatre production.

A handful of guests gather at a country mansion for a social weekend. Included in the house party is the famous Inspector Wallingford and unfortunately wherever he goes confusion and mystery seem to follow.

A wet and stormy night sets the scene for a most surprising discovery and the Inspector does his best, in very trying circumstances, to uncover the mystery at Dunbar Mansion.

Pay Cisca Manetti  

by Jean Oliver. Directed by Lee Thompson.

An Australian story: not really a drama, not really a comedy. More a snapshot of life in a    Melbourne suburb in the mid 60s. A migrant Italian family tries to cope with life in a new country and to feel that they belong. Then the school community becomes involved with them…

Featuring: Richard Coleman, Tracey Myhill, Michael Haynes, Georgia Wilson, Ann Hopwell,  Carol Skelton,  Marjorie DeCaux,  Rosemary Mowbray.                  .

Dinner For  One

Directed by David Green.

Miss Sophie wants to celebrate her 90^th birthday with her friends: Sir Toby, Admiral Von Schneider, Mr. Pommeroy, and Mr. Winterbottom. There is only one problem…Miss Sophie has outlived all her invited guests. Not to let that stop a good party, her butler James is required to do the toasts (and drinking)  for each missing party member; all this while serving dinner and avoiding the rug.

Featuring: Veronica Fourie and Ray Egan.

All shows at 7.30pm. Doors and Bar open 7.00pm
