We are thrilled to bring you an unforgettable line-up of live music, captivating theatre, world-class comedy and international film to carry you through the second half of 2026.
To help you plan your next night out, here is a taste of what is coming to our stage...
MUSIC LOVERS
Get ready for an electrifying evening of ancestral Romani music, tango, swing jazz, and British pop with Lolo Lovina - DRrOM – Balkan Fire!
Follow that up with the legendary Choirboys bringing wild rock ‘n’ roll storytelling and classic anthems, and The Killer Queen Experience - a massive spectacle delivering stadium rock energy. For something more intimate, Darren Coggan and Damien Leith present Two Of Us, a beautiful tribute to Lennon and McCartney, while the Creedence Clearwater Collective delivers a definitive tribute to rock royalty.
COMEDY & DRAMA
Theatre lovers will be spellbound by the hit play Bombshells, from acclaimed Australian playwright Joanna Murray-Smith.
Prepare for non-stop laughs with comedians Lawrence Mooney and Dave Hughes, the riotous Nurse Georgie Carroll, and a delightfully twisted Christmas party courtesy of The Kransky Sisters.
CHILDREN & FAMILY THEATRE
For the young and young at heart, we have Tim Winton’s classic The Bugalugs Bum Thief and A Little Bit of Blue - an interactive environmental detective story told with innovative and beautiful puppetry.
Meanwhile, film buffs can cast their votes in the annual global phenomenon of the MANHATTAN SHORT Film Festival.
As always we thank you for continuing to champion live performance in our community.
After all, it’s our incredible audience that keeps the magic of the stage alive!
