Around her swirled the stars and galaxies, the comets and constellations. Infinite possibilities. Infinite questions. But the one thing you could say for certain was that Claire Della was on the Moon. Claire Della just doesn’t fit in. The things that make sense to everyone else don’t seem to make sense to her, and the world is a loud and frightening place. So she retreats to the safety and quiet of the Moon, where there’s no one to bother her and no one for her to disappoint. But when her link between worlds is shattered, Claire must team up with Laika, the adventurous space dog, to find a way home or else be lost forever. Winner of two AWGIE awards including the David Williamson Prize for Excellence in Writing for Australian Theatre, Claire Della and the Moon is a tender and beautiful play for young audiences, addressing issues of mental health, depression and anxiety. Using puppetry, music, striking visuals and poetic storytelling, Claire Della and the Moon opens the doors for honest conversation and provides audience members of all ages with a metaphoric vocabulary to positively manage their own mental health.

A Windmill Theatre Company Production. Windmill Theatre Co is supported by the Government of South Australia and the Australian Government through Creative Australia, its arts funding and advisory body. Microscopic. Indestructible. (this is the tag line) Tardigrades… perhaps you’ve heard of them? Small but mighty, they have withstood multiple extinction periods, surviving boiling temperatures and the freezing temperatures of space. With a surprising cult following, some people call them ‘Water Bears’, others call them ‘Moss Piglets’. Moss Piglet is an explosive portrait of the world’s most resilient and curious critters. Taking young audiences from jelly-filled petri dishes to the depths of a volcano to Arctic glaciers to the moon, the work explodes the mysteries of the wildly weird tardigrade. Playful and thrilling, Moss Piglet is an epic new work about how even the tiniest of things can be the strongest. Think Bruce Willis in Die Hard… but teeny tiny with eight legs… who loves moss.

Venue: Light Church Auditorium A concert to commemorate the official opening of the Vietnam Veterans Walk “Schumann’s voice carries the wind in from the outback. It has grains of red dust and yellow earth, it’s flecked with toil, hardship, humanity and love. It’s as old as the land, with a gnarled weariness like the weathered bark of a gum, tinged with the light of hope. He sings of Australia, of its past and present, its people.” Poet and journalist Warwick McFadyen To mark the opening of the Vietnam War Memorial Walk, John Schumann (ex Redgum, I was only 19) and his six-piece band, The Vagabond Crew, will present “Behind the Lines: Australia at War in words and music” at the Light Church Auditorium, on Yorketown Road Edithburgh. Beautifully played by The Vagabond Crew, the songs are linked by a moving narrative delivered by acclaimed actor, Celine O’Leary. The narrative is drawn from newspaper reports of the day, poems, letters from the front and gentle reflections. The concert is illustrated by a carefully curated set of rare, evocative images. Behind the Lines” is a heartfelt commemoration bringing into focus the very best of Australian songwriting. Along with beautiful rearrangements of much-loved Australian classics, John and the band will perform his own songs including “I was only 19”, “Safe behind the Wire”, “On Every Anzac Day” and “Anzac Biscuits” (from his bestselling album “Behind the Lines” ABC Music/Universal). This a performance not to be missed. Presented by The Entertanners in association with the York Peninsula Community Supported by Veterans SA Transaction Fees Apply Online $2.50 Phone $3.50
