Base Entertainment presents: Ireland the Voyage

From the producers of Celtic Illusion comes a powerful new theatrical experience in Ireland: The Voyage, an epic celebration of Ireland’s history, heart, and heritage brought to life through authentic voices, live music, and world-class Irish dance.

Leading the vocal performances is the extraordinary Giselle O’Meara, whose soaring, soulful voice carries the emotion of Ireland’s story from ancient times to today. She is joined on stage by live musicians direct from Ireland, performing with traditional instruments and modern arrangements that honour the island’s rich musical legacy. Their sound forms the beating heart of the show - raw, real, and unmistakably Irish.

The voyage spans centuries: from the mysticism of the Celts to the thunder of Viking invasions, the arrival of the Normans, and the spiritual transformation shaped by St Patrick. Each chapter erupts onto the stage through breathtaking visuals, cinematic soundscapes, and the fiery passion of Irish dance, performed by a cast of world-class dancers whose rhythm and athleticism ignite the stage.

Emotional, exhilarating, and deeply immersive, Ireland: The Voyage invites audiences to feel the pulse of a nation - its triumphs, its tragedies, its music, and its unbreakable spirit, in a live experience they will never forget.

Craft Music Presents: Tim Freedman's Moonlit Deck

After three sold out Hamer Hall shows with MSO in September 2025, Tim Freedman is ready to strip things back and get his cabaret on.

There is nothing more classic than a man and his piano, and an audience ready to listen. With his delicate piano stylings and lyrics of good-natured cynicism, intimate smaller theatres around the country have become a staple of his touring cycle as a relaxing antidote to the highly charged rock rooms and concert halls of The Whitlams’ full band and orchestra shows.

Guiding you through the highlights of his nine album catalogue with songs such as "Blow Up the Pokies" and "No Aphrodisiac", and into some lesser known detours including the recent country outing, The Whitlams Black Stump album "Kookaburra", Tim looks forward to meeting you up close and personal.

THURSDAY 19 MARCH 2026, 7PM

Kevin Bloody Wilson is one of Australia's most iconic and unapologetic entertainers-a musical outlaw whose songs are as raw as they are hilarious, and whose career has spanned over four decades without ever backing down, toning it down, or selling out.

With multiple platinum albums to his name, Kev's unique brand of politically incorrect comedy and storytelling has earned him not just a cult following, but a legendary status around the globe.

Despite having no formal education beyond the school of hard knocks, Kevin is a master lyricist and a prolific songwriter for other artists, proving that talent, not titles, makes a real artist.

He's performed over 120 shows a year for more than 40 years, packing out theatres from Kalgoorlie to Kansas.

His lyrics might be too spicy for radio, but that's never stopped fans from singing them word-for-word at sold-out gigs. Kev's songs are proudly unfiltered, often outrageous, and always bloody hilarious-exactly the way his fans love them.

From his humble beginnings with a tape recorder in the front bar of a WA pub, to becoming a global comedy institution, Kevin Bloody Wilson remains a one-man phenomenon, a national treasure, and proof that you don't need permission to make people laugh-you just need a guitar, and a DILLIGAF attitude.

Kev is not just a comedy institution, he’s a way of life.

WEDNESDAY 27 MAY, 7PM

Theatre Works Production and HPAC presents: Red Sky Morning

A powerful and poetic story about family, silence, and finding hope in the everyday.

Life in the country can be beautiful — and brutally honest. In Red Sky Morning, we meet a woman, a man, and a girl who live under the same roof but have slowly drifted apart. Over the course of one day, their stories unfold in a series of poetic monologues that reveal love, regret, and the quiet hope that things might get better.

Tom Holloway’s award-winning script captures the heart of regional Australia — the early mornings, the long silences, the unspoken care that holds families together. With sharp wit and tender honesty, it reflects the challenges and strength of small-town life, where connection is both fragile and essential.

Directed by Lyall Brooks, Red Sky Morning is a hauntingly beautiful Australian story that will stay with you — because it feels like home.

CONTENT WARNINGS
Red Sky Morning explores everyday family life in regional Australia and includes gentle references to adult themes, family tension, mild strong language, alcohol use and emotionally charged moments.

Nicholas Clark Management and HPAC present: Imagine Live

“It’s about animals!”…"It's about Imagination!”…“It’s about our Home!”

Magical and meaningful, IMAGINE LIVE is a celebration of creativity, friendship and our precious natural world. With the help of the audience, performers play and sing their way through the pages of Imagine, and quickly discover there is WAY more to these pages than they first thought. Spot a leopard, dive with a dolphin or dig up a dinosaur as this iconic book springs into life before your eyes.

IMAGINE LIVE is an innovative artistically rigorous work using cutting edge body mapping digital puppetry, face recognition technology, animation, original music and participatory storytelling.

Underscored by a beautiful music score, characters and objects travel between real and animated worlds. IMAGINE LIVE oscillates between Imagine's iconic natural environments and the playful home setting of the children. Projection screens work seamlessly with oversized props and puppets skillfully brought to life by live performers and digital puppeteer.The players use creativity to connect a long distance video call between a granddaughter and grandmother, enjoying a nostalgic connection with their favourite book, Imagine.

Relevant to both multi-generational and diverse audiences, the show is a reminder that connection, creativity and play are essential ingredients for positive mental health. IMAGINE LIVE’s deep environmental theme invites us to look beyond our backyards into a shared and richly beautiful world.

Building on the knowledge and success gained in the creation of Helpmann Award winning show, Robot Song, IMAGINE LIVE reunites the creative team Ashlea Pyke, Nate Gilkes, Phillip McInnes and welcomes Eliza Hull as an Access Inclusion Consultant to create an experience that is as enjoyable as it is transformative.

Little Wing Puppets and HPAC Present: Spike the Echidna

Join us for some school holiday fun with Spike the Echidna!

Spike is the story of an echidna who is stolen from his nest by a greedy rat. He hatches from his egg far away from home. A young girl finds him. She is playing alone in the bush because she is being bullied by other children. He has no spikes yet and she doesn’t know what kind of creature he is. She tries to work out where he comes from, but accidently puts him in dangerous situations–in the nest of a crocodile, an emu and a turtle. He feels frightened, rejected, alone. As the story unfolds, she helps him to discover where he belongs, and he helps her to find her own “spikes” and stand up to the bullies.

Told with shadow theatre, Spike is an interactive experience for the audience, with lively original music by Mal Webb. It is entertaining and fun, as well as a catalyst for a discussion about difference and belonging. It also about the unique biology of Australian animals, especially the egg-laying echidna. After the performance there is a demonstration of shadow puppetry techniques, introducing children to an expressive hands-on story-telling medium that is highly accessible to young people.

Lights! Cameras! Action! Set within a film shoot, layered with live projections, Physical Theatre Company ‘Born in a Taxi’ thoughtfully and hilariously reimagines this 100 year old children’s story by Margery Williams. Please bring your own favourite snuggly toy to the show! This is a show where the toys are in charge on stage and your own special guest toy is a VIP.

One of those rare stories that dare to tease out complex themes of love, loss and change in a way that allows children to connect with them, Velveteen Rabbit is about a toy rabbit who becomes real…but how did it happen? In the hands of Born in a Taxi, the story is infused with dynamic audience participation, live and recorded music with live stream video and projections layered into the work that plays with multiple scales that reflect the perspective of a child. Playful, visual and poetic.

A must-see for families and anyone who has ever cherished a beloved toy!

Velveteen Rabbit is created by Born in a Taxi, commissioned by Monash University Performing Arts Centre and supported by Creative Victoria.

DoubleU Artists and HPAC present: Nathan Cavaleri - Growing Pains

From child prodigy to cancer survivor, from global stages to mental health collapse, Nathan Cavaleri lays bare an extraordinary journey.

In this raw, solo show filled with storytelling and music, he traces his path from busking in Campbelltown to the heights of stardom — and back home to himself

Raw, funny, and ultimately uplifting, Growing Pains transcends nostalgia. It’s a soulful, real-time reckoning with the highs, lows, and healing that define a life lived out loud.
