“I’ve never seen a more professional tribute to the Bee Gees with those beautiful harmonies which are so difficult to achieve. They have worked hard to reproduce the unique sound of my brothers. So tastefully done. Absolutely brilliant and I didn’t want to leave. If you’re a Bee Gees fan, this is the concert for you.” Lesley Evans (Gibb)

This production will be nothing less than a gift from our soul to yours. In 2023 we incorporated humour, poignancy, joy and a touch of the absurd, to stare down stereotypes and ‘show up’ on stage, to share our lives challenge narratives of what it means to have a disability. In 2024, and we’re not staring down our diversity, we are REVELLING in it and inviting you to the party!
The production has been developed by the performers through improvisation, journaling, and collaborative workshopping. Music, movement, dance, singing, signing, drama, media, and visual art are employed in a fusion of stagecraft; adequately recreate the magical worlds we inhabit and explore every Thursday to at High St Community.
This year we have been honoured to welcome the generous voluntary contributions of Mr David Williams OAM, who has brought his magic wand support the music development of this outstanding ‘Theatre Family’. Our work will be supported both onstage and off, by some of our favourite Gippsland based musicians, performers and designers.
Magic, if fortunate enough to find it, can be fleeting. So due to a limited season, we warmly recommend booking tickets early.

From the team that brought you The Billy Joel Story and The Paul McCartney Story comes the new performance of Music Legends: The Simon and Garfunkel Story. A Two-Act Celebration of the classic duo’s incredible songs, faithfully recreating their hit songs from the 1960s right through to the solo years.
Friday 8 November, 2024 | 8pm | GPAC Little Theatre
Simon and Garfunkel are the most well-known and beloved folk/rock duo of all time. The combination of Simon’s poetic lyrics and stunning melodies with Garfunkel’s soaring tenor and their perfectly blended, intricate harmonies, provided the perfect platform for some of the most memorable songs of all time.
And yet, while their music was transcendent, their relationship was fractured and complicated. Like Lennon and McCartney, their musically complementary differences caused impossible friction, and they parted ways in the early 70’s.
Love of their music, however, never abated. Despite successful solo careers, their reunion concerts and tours together have proven iconic, drawing millions of listeners from across generations.
Music Legends: The Simon and Garfunkel Story celebrates the entire career of Simon & Garfunkel, their years together, their time apart, and their many reunions. From the team that brought you The Billy Joel Story, The Troubadours and The Paul McCartney Story, comes a thrilling Two-Act Celebration of some of the best songs ever written. Performed live by the Music Legends band, this promises to be an incredibly joyful show, not to be missed!

History is more than just the big events that everyone remembers. History is the everyday stories that reveal, rekindle, and capture the heart of a community, whatever age you are.
Sunday 20 October, 2024 | 11am | Town Hall Theatre
In this oral history workshop, you will collaborate with other people to reminisce, remember, and share a few yarns. Bring a friend or come by yourself. The workshop is about the past and the present. About how times have changed and how they have not. It is about celebrating the little histories that say so much about who we were and where we are going.
People are hungry for stories. It is part of our very being. Storytelling is a form of history, of immortality too. It goes from one generation to another. — Studs Terkel
You will spend the first half of the workshop taking part in a series of fun, drama/storytelling, social activities, designed to help everyone ‘chill-out’ and feel comfortable working as a team. Come prepared with any memories and stories.
In the second half of the workshop, every participant will be invited to audio-record a three-minute story (think of it like a podcast). You will be able to tell the story yourself, or work with a partner to share the story, or even ask someone else to record your story for you. There will be no pressure to be recorded if you do not want to.
The workshop includes a lunchbreak, so remember to BYO nourishment or there is food available from Polly Baker Cafe at GPAC.
