Congratulations to our Singers on the opening weekend of their 40th anniversary show, especially to musical director Rod Lander and his team who make the magic happen on the night.

There is still a weekend of shows to go, on Friday and Saturday, August 4 and 5, from 6.30pm. So if you’re in the mood for good food, great music and the opportunity to sing along to some music hall classics, go to spat.org.au for tickets.

The dress code is now ‘come as you are’, but if you want to dust off the old tux or bust out some sequins, do it. Keeping warm on the way home is the priority, although we’ve got you covered with mulled wine to wrap your hands around!

We are two classes into our series of improv acting workshops, ‘Improv Your Mind’ with Nurina Simpson, and while it’s a big squirmy step outside of our comfort zone, it’s also incredibly energising and creative.

The 12-strong cohort is a mixture of ages and genders, life experiences and personalities, each bringing their own unique perspective to the stage.

Starting with listening exercises, word association games and mastering the art of ‘yes, and …’ to build on ideas, these are definitely skills that will come in useful in everyday life!
