All Theatres:
So, you require backstage help in your theatres? Have you read about the Veteran suicides?
How can you help?
Go to your local RSL and speak to the President. Ask if he has any veterans and ex-servicemen looking to assimilate into the community. Explain your needs for offstage assistance and maybe you might help save a life.
Veterans have trouble settling in once they have left the service and this would be a good way to assimilate into their local community.
There are always vacancies for electricians, bar staff, carpenters, scene shifters, bio box staff, front of house, even a chance for someone to learn a new craft.
Consider this appeal, speak to your local RSL and the possibility of aiding a veteran to settle in the community. you might save a life.

Bakehouse Cozen tour – Lloyd Spiegel Trio
The 14 time Australian Blues Award winner has one of the most interesting stories in music, having grown up on stage learning from and touring with the founding fathers of modern Blues.
The current show features the incredibly talented Lisa Baird on trombone and long-time collaborator Tim Burnham on drums. Combined with Spiegel’s guitar wizardry, powerful vocal performance and knack for storytelling, this trio with a twist delivers a truly unique entertainment that reinvents the blues and dispels the cliches associated with it.
This tour celebrates the release of Bakehouse Dozen. Recorded live with no overdubs at Melbourne iconic Bakehouse studios, the album offers reimagined versions of songs from Spiegel’s last 13 multi-award winning recordings and showcases the raw energy and depth of the trio signalling what’s to come.
Season: Friday 6 October at 8pm Burrinja Theatre

Belle
The Walker sisters’ mother has eaten some bad tuna and been taken to hospital. Again. When oldest sister Penny calls to inform her five sisters a series of phone calls ensues. Second oldest Aneece is too busy being bitter at their mother to talk to Peggy. Audrey prefers to put Huckle, her ventriloquist dummy, on the phone instead of speaking to her sister and Sherry has changed her name to Dust, who is more interested in abstract poetry with her current lover than discussing their mother’s various ailments . Rosanne’s life is falling apart, yet she still seems to come second to her husband’s midlife crisis and youngest sister Paige is having romantic troubles all of which takes precedence over their mother’s latest drama. All in all Peggy doesn’t have much luck gaining sympathy for Mama.
