Oxfam Christmas Fair – Albert Hall 9am-3pm Saturday.
Three theatrical events this week:
– Impro ACT has their last performance of the year this Sunday at 7:30 – “Wild”, in which the impro mob will be using Animal-inspired ideas to make stuff up for your entertainment and/or bemusement. Tickets range from $15-18.
– “I’ll be back before midnight” continues its run at Canberra Rep tonight, Friday and Saturday night at 8, with matinee on Saturday at 2pm. A thriller with gunshots, blood, family jealousy and all kinds of good stuff – according to my theatregoing partner, I screamed at least once, and since I’m a tough, rugged chap, that should count for something. Student rush tickets tonight are $20 or two for $24, otherwise range from $32 top price to $20 flat price for the matinee. Runs until December 9th.
– Shortis and Simpson combine with Peter J. Casey for their christmas comedy cabaret “A Miracle on Childer’s Street” – with gags on everything from Alan Jones to Cirque De Soleil (and undobutedly a few things that aren’t exceptionally gay, too…) Performances tonight, tomorrow and Saturday at 8 – tickets range from $20-30. Also runs till December 9th.
