Little Women

Christmas Eve, 1862. With their father away on the frontline of the American civil War, the four March sisters – Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy – journey into adulthood, each determined to pursue a life of their own terms.

Little Women is a timeless tale.

Whether is it an old beloved favourite or something completely new to you, we are sure you will enjoy it.

Millies War

Based on historical events, Millies War is set in the 1980’s when a number of women attempted to join official ANZAC Day marches across Canberra to commemorate women raped in war.

When the sleepy local branch of the local RSL met with the women in order to dissuade them from upsetting their sacred parade of remembrance, the crochety president of the RSL Club is appalled to find his own granddaughter is one if the feminists attempting to spoil; their day.

Tempers soon reach boiling point as each side argues the case for the importance of commemorating victims of war.

Season: Friday April 12 – Sunday April 28.
