So, it looks like Covid strikes again, this time in the North which means we won’t be hearing from our Darwin Correspondent, Sophia Hall until next month. But never fear, there are still plenty of guest to meet on tonight’s show…



First up, we’re dropping in on Family Fiesta, presented by Monash University Performing Arts Centres. It’s a festival with plenty of school holiday action but we’re going to focus on the Sensory Concerts presenting chamber music in a relaxed setting for neurodiverse audiences and we’ll meet the Creative Director Grace Kim.



Then we’ll meet Cessalee Stoval who is Equity and Inclusion Support Officer on Passing Strange, the Tony Award winning music theatre piece being present by Antipodes Theatre. But Cessalee has more strings than this to her bow and we’ll find out what they are.



Meanwhile, at Northcote Town Hall. Bec Mathews and Sarah Ward, well know for their cabaret and burlesque work, have been making a show for a decidedly different audience. The Rainbow Tree is a show for kids that they’ve made with seven kids from rainbow families, Bec and Sarah will tell us about a disco koala, a farting unicorn and how they became Aunty Bear and ZaZa.



And finally, we’ll ask whether Buzz Lightyear really needed an origin story when Marc Gracie returns for Screens & Streams.



They’re all on this week’s edition of Behind the Scenes with Chris Thompson right here on Vision Australia Radio.
