Sat 15th May – The Flat Earth Confederacy w/ Mad Charlie and Sunset Riot at The Basement (Belc)
from 8.30pm

JB it may be worthwhile re advertising a play called “Every Single Saturday” at the Tuggeranong Arts centre, which I attended tonight following a past advertisement on RA.

I understand further shows are scheduled for Friday 14 May and Saturday 15 May.

It was a very entertaining show, so funny, had realistic characters and the singing was fantastic.

It was short for those who need to get home to kids or have plans for after, commencing at 8pm and was concluding by 915pm. The storyline was original which made for a very pleasant evening.

Come and play some boardgames (euro style), all ages OK.
Event is free. Come and leave whenever you want. No need to bring anything.
