Grenfell Dramatic Society audiences can expect quite a change in this year’s festival stage production. The team have chosen Australia Day, by Jonathan Biggins which is a biting satirical comedy, aimed squarely at all things committee. No doubt you will recognise many of the characters portrayed on sporting, cultural or community committees. To quote the Herald Sun "if you want social satire and huge laughs at the expense of, well, just about everyone in our sun-drenched country, Australia Day is just the ticket."

This year's production returns to the Dramatic Society's intimate setting of the Little Theatre in Rose Street for four performances. All the costumes from the recent successful Vintage Fashion Parade have been stored away, and the Little Theatre has become the Coriole Scout Hall where the local Australia Day committee is preparing for the annual celebration. There are two performances over the festival long weekend - Sunday June 10 at 7.30pm and a Monday matinee on Monday June 11 at 2pm.
Two further performances after the festival weekend take place on Friday June 15 and Saturday June 16 at 7.30pm. The theatre is comfortably heated so come along and enjoy the performance and supper all for $20, or $15 for high school students. The play is probably not suitable for younger children, as there is a language warning for occasional coarse language. To secure your tickets, bookings are now available at C J Anderson in Main Street. Any remaining tickets are sold at the theatre 1 hour before each performance, but remember seating is limited to 90 at each performance.
