What's On

The Carpenters from Kempsey
 

Darren & Sharon Carpenter’s lives were magically transformed the day they discovered those other ‘Carpenters’. Not only did they share a family name, but they looked similar as well.

The Carpenters from Kempsey starring DARREN MAPES and DEBORA KRIZAK are coming to Paddo RSL for one night only on Friday 29 July.  

Together they recreate the sound of the Carpenters with uncanny accuracy just in time for the most unconventional midyear Party Extravaganza – Christmas in July.

The Carpenters from Kempsey sing all the Christmas standards, with a twist, plus all those Carpenters songs you love including Top of the World, Goodbye to Love, 

Yesterday Once More, A Kind of Hush, Rainy Days and Mondays, Calling Occupants, Ticket to Ride, Close to You, Superstar, Mr Postman and many more.

 

‘Mapes and Krizak may well be channelling Karen and Richard … voices from heaven.’ Sunday Mail Adelaide

 

‘A truly amazing tribute to timeless music … you can’t help but sing-a-long.’ Inner West Courier 

 

‘The musicianship is top shelf, the vocal impressions are uncanny, and their laconic wit is riotous.’ Adelaide Advertiser

    This is not your dear old Grandmother’s Hamlet, it is your drunk Uncle’s, who remembers every Monty Python episode by heart.

    Dancing at Lughnasa | New Theatre
    A gifted embroider of words, Friel combines soft lyricism and hard meaning in his play, a tragical comical historical pastoral on a spree and spoiling for a spirited spar.

    Retrograde | Melbourne Theatre Company
    The script is based on a true story, although this dramatisation can feel somewhat contrived, with important assertions not interrogated, and credibility stretched as a result.
  • The Glass Menagerie | Melbourne Theatre Company
    This Glass Menagerie is top shelf, and while blessed with an extraordinary cast and the highest of production values, it will not meet with everyone’s measure of how this play should be staged.
  • The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
    The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
    In the care of Pinchgut Opera’s director, Erin Helyard, this music, formulaic as it indeed is in some respects, sprang off the page into an experience rich in emotions.
