HIT Productions & HPAC Present: Waltzing the Wilarra
Waltzing the Wilarra is an Australian musical play written and composed by David Milroy, set in a mixed-race dance club in post-World War II Perth.
Charlie, Elsa and Fay take you on a musical journey back to 1940's post
war Perth. Against a backdrop of curfews, and the fear of arrest for
consorting, white and black manage to form their own club. For a night
they can forget their worries and experience rare happy times singing,
dancing, listening to music, and with a little luck... romance.
Forty
years on, as the club faces demolition, our three characters meet once
again to stage a musical reunion and protest in an attempt to save their
old stomping ground. As the trio reflects upon loves lost and found, old
arguments and alliances resurface.
Dark secrets and ghosts that
have lingered for more than half a century are revealed, and we discover
that reconciliation is more than saying sorry.

HPAC presents a Terrapin production:THE PAPER ESCAPER By Gita Bezard
A bright new puppetry work from Terrapin about determination, friendship and the power of following your own path.
Benny, the plucky puppet protagonist in The Paper Escaper, knows they are destined for greater things than a simple pop-up book. But in a world that’s trying to squash Benny between its pages – from a wily dancing fire to a disillusioned illustrator – Benny will need the help of a new friend to achieve their dreams.
Written by Gita Bezard of The Last Great Hunt, this delightful, funny and inspiring production features inventive puppetry, deft physical performance and an intricate and engaging soundtrack.
Benny doesn't want to tell the story 'The Maker' has written for them. As their parents get nervous about the consequences of defying the 'The Maker', Benny rips them from his story. Alone and in an unknown land, Benny comes across a mysterious tentacle and friendship blooms. But 'The Maker' is determined and his fire is hungry – and Benny and their friend must work together to survive.
Hero Image Credit: Darcie Richards. Terrapin is assisted by the Australian Government through Creative Australia, its principal arts investment and advisory body, and through Arts Tasmania by the Minister for the Arts. The Paper Escaper tour is supported by Arts on Tour.

Damian Callinan & HPAC present at Dunkeld: Hall Stories
There is barely a bakery in regional Australia, that hasn’t had one of Damian Callinan’s show posters blu-tacked to its window. In Hall Stories, the celebrated actor, comedian and creator of the hit Netflix film The Merger, combines his skills as a storyteller, stand-up and character actor, to pull back the curtain on his own tour stories and examine the quirks, traditions and characters of Australian halls and meeting places.
In this particular show, Damian will also be spending time with the local community to delve into the history & characters of the Sterling Place, Dunkeld Community Centre and the role that it plays in the broader community. Following the show, Damian will publish a Hall Stories Podcast episode, dedicated to the Dunkeld Community Hall.
As well as the show, he will later deliver a podcast to document the story of the Community Centre Hall Stories. This is Callinan doing what he does best, where he does it best. He knows how to talk over a bubbling urn; wind up when the CWA head into the supper room and stack the chairs in 5’s at the end of the night. You just let him know where to get the hall key, and he’ll do the rest.
Please Note: This is a BYO event, so please feel free to bring your own snacks and refreshments.

Regional Arts Victoria, Na Djinang Circus & HPAC present: Of The Land On Which We Meet
We are not the first – nor will we be the last – to walk on this land.
Walking on stone and cement it can be hard to remember what it feels
like to have earth
beneath our feet.
What does it mean to be where we are?
What do we, as 21st century
Australians, think it means to be "on Country"?
By opening up the acknowledgement of Country and taking a closer look
within it, we
search for a way to address the possible lack of
connection contemporary Australians
have with the spirituality of the
land.
Of The Land On Which We Meet follows the journey of three
contemporary Australian
circus artists with distinct relationships
with Country; an indigenous Australian, a
descendant of migrants, and
a descendant of colonial settlers.
Using physical representation within Na Djinang Circus’ signature tone
and style of
Indigenous forms merged with Western mediums, Of The
Land On Which We Meet hopes
to re-discover a connection we once had.
Join this cultural journey on Country with 60,000 years of history, spirit and story.
After the performance there will be a post show Q&A Session
This project received Cash to Create through the Fringe Fund, as part of Deadly Fringe.
Supported by The City of Melbourne, The City of Maribyrnong, Craig

REVIEWS⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I’ve never seen a more professional tribute to the Bee Gees with those beautiful harmonies which are so difficult to achieve. They have worked hard to reproduce the unique sound of my brothers. So tastefully done. Absolutely brilliant and I didn’t want to leave. If you’re a Bee Gees fan, this is the concert for you.” Lesley Evans (Gibb)
“If you like the music of the Bee Gees and the Best of the Bee Gees Show comes to your town, don’t miss it!” Original Bee Gees Guitarist Vince Melouney

HIT Productions & HPAC Present: Waltzing the Wilarra
Waltzing the Wilarra is an Australian musical play written and composed by David Milroy, set in a mixed-race dance club in post-World War II Perth.
Charlie, Elsa and Fay take you on a musical journey back to 1940's post
war Perth. Against a backdrop of curfews, and the fear of arrest for
consorting, white and black manage to form their own club. For a night
they can forget their worries and experience rare happy times singing,
dancing, listening to music, and with a little luck... romance.
Forty
years on, as the club faces demolition, our three characters meet once
again to stage a musical reunion and protest in an attempt to save their
old stomping ground. As the trio reflects upon loves lost and found, old
arguments and alliances resurface.
Dark secrets and ghosts that
have lingered for more than half a century are revealed, and we discover
that reconciliation is more than saying sorry.

HPAC presents a Terrapin production:THE PAPER ESCAPER By Gita Bezard
A bright new puppetry work from Terrapin about determination, friendship and the power of following your own path.
Benny, the plucky puppet protagonist in The Paper Escaper, knows they are destined for greater things than a simple pop-up book. But in a world that’s trying to squash Benny between its pages – from a wily dancing fire to a disillusioned illustrator – Benny will need the help of a new friend to achieve their dreams.
Written by Gita Bezard of The Last Great Hunt, this delightful, funny and inspiring production features inventive puppetry, deft physical performance and an intricate and engaging soundtrack.
Benny doesn't want to tell the story 'The Maker' has written for them. As their parents get nervous about the consequences of defying the 'The Maker', Benny rips them from his story. Alone and in an unknown land, Benny comes across a mysterious tentacle and friendship blooms. But 'The Maker' is determined and his fire is hungry – and Benny and their friend must work together to survive.
Hero Image Credit: Darcie Richards. Terrapin is assisted by the Australian Government through Creative Australia, its principal arts investment and advisory body, and through Arts Tasmania by the Minister for the Arts. The Paper Escaper tour is supported by Arts on Tour.

Damian Callinan & HPAC present at Dunkeld: Hall Stories
There is barely a bakery in regional Australia, that hasn’t had one of Damian Callinan’s show posters blu-tacked to its window. In Hall Stories, the celebrated actor, comedian and creator of the hit Netflix film The Merger, combines his skills as a storyteller, stand-up and character actor, to pull back the curtain on his own tour stories and examine the quirks, traditions and characters of Australian halls and meeting places.
In this particular show, Damian will also be spending time with the local community to delve into the history & characters of the Sterling Place, Dunkeld Community Centre and the role that it plays in the broader community. Following the show, Damian will publish a Hall Stories Podcast episode, dedicated to the Dunkeld Community Hall.
As well as the show, he will later deliver a podcast to document the story of the Community Centre Hall Stories. This is Callinan doing what he does best, where he does it best. He knows how to talk over a bubbling urn; wind up when the CWA head into the supper room and stack the chairs in 5’s at the end of the night. You just let him know where to get the hall key, and he’ll do the rest.
Please Note: This is a BYO event, so please feel free to bring your own snacks and refreshments.

CELEBRATING THE SEEKERS – 60 Years is an audio-visual treat, with rare footage and still photos of the group.
His 12-string guitar was an integral part of their sound and being the arranger of the vocal harmonies, he had a unique place in the group.
During his performance Keith pays a special tribute to his colleague and dear friend of 60 years, the late and great JUDITH DURHAM.
Keith is known to countless fans and this is obvious in the welcome given to him by audiences that have enjoyed his performances of CELEBRATING THE SEEKERS – 60 Years.
This special program contains some timeless favourites from The Seekers, some beautiful original ballads from his three solo CDs and a few hits from the ‘60s to the ‘80s that influenced the group and appeal to the generation who grew up playing SEEKERS albums at home or in the car.

Regional Arts Victoria, Na Djinang Circus & HPAC present: Of The Land On Which We Meet
We are not the first – nor will we be the last – to walk on this land.
Walking on stone and cement it can be hard to remember what it feels
like to have earth
beneath our feet.
What does it mean to be where we are?
What do we, as 21st century
Australians, think it means to be "on Country"?
By opening up the acknowledgement of Country and taking a closer look
within it, we
search for a way to address the possible lack of
connection contemporary Australians
have with the spirituality of the
land.
Of The Land On Which We Meet follows the journey of three
contemporary Australian
circus artists with distinct relationships
with Country; an indigenous Australian, a
descendant of migrants, and
a descendant of colonial settlers.
Using physical representation within Na Djinang Circus’ signature tone
and style of
Indigenous forms merged with Western mediums, Of The
Land On Which We Meet hopes
to re-discover a connection we once had.
Join this cultural journey on Country with 60,000 years of history, spirit and story.
After the performance there will be a post show Q&A Session
This project received Cash to Create through the Fringe Fund, as part of Deadly Fringe.
Supported by The City of Melbourne, The City of Maribyrnong, Craig
Semple, Creative
Victoria, The Australia Council for the Arts.
