Get ready, kids aged 4 - 99... Super Amazing Giant Girl is our spectacular show this Easter, and it's coming to you!
Straight from SELL OUT shows at Castlemaine Festival and Adelaide Fringe, this show tells the story of a little girl who grows up and up and up... Until she becomes a Super Amazing Giant Girl, with the strength to do anything and fantastic dancing powers.
Anna Lumb is our heroine and she quickly realises that her hometown is too small for her. The place isn't even on Google Maps! Anna goes on a journey to the big city, learning to love herself on the way. As well as making new friends and showing off her walking on bottle skills and roller skating powers, too!
Children, parents and grandparents will love this touching and funny story. The best bit is that only children pay for their ticket - adults are free! So come along for the rollerskating ride.

The Unknown Artists by Louis Cagalj
April 11 - 30th 2017
FREE
Artist Louis Cagalj has created a suite of drawings by ‘The Unknown Artists’ from combining his reverence for the Old Masters and a burning need to understand his own body. He has been dealing with crippling Osteoarthritis since 1996, and has challenged his body to prepare for inevitable hip replacement surgery. Louis has focused his mind to think like an Old Master by drawing on sepia paper, old butchers’ paper that he stored away 30 years ago. The results are stunning Neo-Classical drawings with an ironic twist………they're 400 years old but were drawn yesterday.
