Little Women
2025-05-24 19:30 - 22:30 | Stirling Community Theatre, 5 Avenue Road, Stirling, SA, 5152, Australia
Produced nationally and internationally, Little Women has been praised by critics for its ambition in adapting such a well-known story for the stage. This timeless, captivating story is brought to life in this glorious musical filled with personal discovery, heartache, hope and everlasting love. The original production starred the unparalleled Sutton Foster, who received Tony, Outer Critics Circle and Drama Desk nominations for her performance.
Based on Louisa May Alcott’s life, Little Women follows the adventures of sisters Jo, Meg, Beth and Amy March. Jo is trying to sell her stories for publication, but the publishers are not interested – her friend, Professor Bhaer, tells her that she has to do better and write more from herself. Begrudgingly taking this advice, Jo weaves the story of herself and her sisters and their experience growing up in Civil War America.
Featuring a brilliant cast of Adelaide’s talented musical theatre performers, and a stunning live orchestra, the Stirling Community Theatre will come alive with Louisa May Alcott’s iconic characters and a moving score.

The Farndale Avenue ladies are at it again, taking on a murder mystery in Murder at Checkmate Manor. In classic Farndale style, their dedication far outweighs their theatrical skill. As props malfunction, lines are forgotten, and costumes go awry, the cast gamely soldiers on, resulting in side-splitting mishaps and unexpected laughs.
This comedy is a brilliant showcase of amateur dramatics gone wrong, promising a chaotic and unforgettable evening of slapstick humour and good-hearted fun. The Farndale ladies ambitious whodunit quickly spirals into farcical mayhem. Packed with nonstop laughs and surprising twists, this show is a delightful homage to the unpredictability of live theatre, where anything that can go wrong…will!
Join us for The Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen’s Guild Dramatic Society Murder Mystery: Murder at Checkmate Manor
At 8pm 21 – 24 May & 28 – 31 May.

Current Economic Conditions
2025-05-24 20:00 - 22:30 | Hallett Cove R-12 Performing Arts Theatre, 2/32 Gledsdale Rd, Hallett Cove, SA, 5158, Australia
Written by Don Zolidis
Directed by Luke Atkinson-Copley
Lily Booker is facing the harsh reality of the economic downturn—she’s out of a job and out of options. Forced to move back in with her parents, she must navigate the awkward dynamics of living under their roof again while dealing with the crushing weight of adult failure. As Lily tries to pick up the pieces of her life, she’s confronted by her overbearing mother, her laid-back father, and her own pride as she grapples with the financial and emotional mess the recession has left in its wake.
With humor and heart, Current Economic Conditions explores the pressures of modern adulthood, the challenges of returning home, and the bittersweet reality of growing up in a world that’s often out of our control. A sharp and relatable comedy that shines a light on the struggle to stay afloat when everything seems to be sinking.

THE PENELOPIAD
By Margaret Atwood
Directed by Kristin Telfer
Margaret Atwood’s The Penelopiad is an adaptation of Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey, told from the perspective of Odysseus’ wife Penelope.
Penelope tells her story from the afterlife, from miraculous birth to marriage with the cunning Odysseus. When war erupts over her cousin Helen’s betrayal, Penelope is left to fend off relentless suitors, relying on her loyal maids to survive. But in death, those same maids return, not just to witness her story—but to remind her of the role she played in the tragic ending to theirs.

Can anyone avoid the dreaded Cheese Touch? Grab a hall pass and don’t be late for an adventure familiar to anyone who actually survived middle school.
