ADRIFT IN NEW YORK by Addison Aulger
Melodrama’s are so much fun for actors and audiences alike. The audience boos for the villain, cheers the Hero and sighs for the Heroine. The script is corny, full of innuendo and slapstick comedy. Actors can have fun with their roles, overact and interact with the audience. They can even sing and dance if they want to! But not the villain, the villain never dances!

MARY POPPINS – everyone’s favourite practically perfect nanny flies from the page and screen to the stage of the Shedley Theatre from 23rd to 25th October 2025
One of the most beloved Disney films of all time comes to life in a spectacular stage adaptation that has captured hearts around the world. Set in London, 1910, the story begins with Bert, the cheerful jack-of-all-trades, who introduces us to the Banks family — and their need for a miracle. Enter Mary Poppins: with her signature blend of magic and common sense, she turns the family’s world upside down (and maybe inside out). From chalk-drawing adventures to rooftop dances and heartfelt moments, Mary helps the children — and their parents — rediscover the importance of family, imagination, and kindness.
Anything can happen if you let it — and with Mary Poppins, it certainly does!

2025-06-21 14:00 - 15:30, 2025-06-21 19:30 - 21:00 | Domain Theatre, 287 Diagonal Road, Oaklands Park, SA, 5046, Australia
Three one-act plays presented by Galleon Theatre Group, Deadset Theatre and St Judes Players…

Galleon Theatre’s entry, directed once again by Andrew Clark—nominated for his previous festival work (The Duck Variations in 2023 and The Last Act is a Solo in 2024)— Where Are You Going, Hollis Jay? is a charming, funny look at first love.

Hollis and Ellie are uni students who want to take their friendship further… but neither knows how to say it. The twist? We hear all their inner thoughts, making for some beautifully awkward and hilarious moments!

Starring Aled Proeve and Veronika Wlodarczyk, with sound design by Warren McKenzie, this one’s full of heart and humour. Don’t miss it!

Deadset’s contribution is a gritty drama, Ravaged, based on the true stories of the Black Saturday Bushfires in Victoria, 2009.

The cast for See if I Care, St Jude’s Players‘ include Deborah Walsh, Rhonda Grill, Allison Scharber, Kaila Barton and Vicky Horwood. Written by Cherry Vooght and directed by Norm Caddick, it’s the story of two ordinary elderly women bound together in an unsentimental, wearing relationship in which they talk in snatches, think aloud and bicker without rancour. They depend on this time because it makes life bearable.
A poignant story full of pathos, memories and incidental chat; a beautiful tale.
