Behind the Scenes 29th April 2024

It's our week to start in Darwin but Sophia Hall is on leave…  never fear, though… Brown’s Mart Associate Artist James Mangohig is deputising and will let us know what’s happening Live on Fridays…



Then I swing by the Abbotsford Convent which is about to celebrate its 20th birthday…  so, it makes sense to catch up with the founding CEO Maggie Maguire and the present day COO John Di Natale…



Meanwhile, in Northcote, we say hi to Rebecca Lister who’ll tell us about On The Couch with Beck Lister, her part-chat show, part-therapy session at Wesley Anne..



After that, Darebin Arts Speakeasy is about to present a new work by The People…  but Peacemongers is more than just a show… it’s also a sit down dinner and Co-Creator and Director Katrina Cornwall will tell us how that works…



And finally, it’ll be ANZAC Day later this week and ASU Productions is presenting their new play Gallipoli: A Story Untold written and directed by Mohammed Hashem… but to find out about it we need to catch up with Mohammed who’s in Egypt…
