The Diary of Anne Frank

There are few who don’t know of the tragic story of Anne Frank; the self-assured Jewish girl who hid from the Nazis in an attic in Amsterdam, and recorded the saga in her famous diary. Timed to coincide with the 60th anniversary of the end of WWII and the Holocaust, this production draws the audience into the private lives of eight very different people, with a careful and sympathetic touch of this inspiring true story. The Pulitzer Prize-winning script combines with deft attention to detail to transport you back to a dark chapter in the world’s history.

Tickets $37 adults, $27 children/senior, $17 groups of 10 or more, $102 family pass (2 adults, 2 children)

The Magic Chicken

Two ‘underlectual’ chefs prepare for another quiet day at their run-down bistro when a surprise guest makes herself at home in their colander. This chook is no ordinary lady, as she lays floating eggs. Also present in the restaurant is a shady character by the name of Evil Eric. He has a sinister plan for this clucky customer and sets about trying to capture her. The chicken manages to ruffle quite a few feathers during her stay in the kitchen, but our two heroes overcome their squabbles and band together to save their feathery friend. ‘The Magic Chicken’ mixes up an exciting concoction of mime, slapstick, magic, puppetry and live music. Target audience: children from 2 to 82.

Tickets $15 adults, $8 children
