continued today through the centre, as a hub
for the arts in the south.

The Sensationals                 A 60s AND 70s MUSIC
EXPERIENCE

Wednesday 13 June, 11am

The 60s were a time when rock music came of age and dominated
the music charts. There was the British invasion headed by The
Beatles. Elvis continued to score many hits while a wave of amazing
artists such as Buddy Holly, Tina Turner and Neil Diamond came
to prominence. Groups such as The Rolling Stones, The Doors,
The Shadows and Creedence Clearwater Revival made their mark.
Blended in was the unique sounds of Motown and Country while
music festivals sprouted everywhere. In the early 70s a variety of
new rock styles began to emerge. Who could forget the disco
domination with artists such as Jackson 5, The Village People
and ABBA? Alternative rock emerged from groups such as
The Cars and The Ramones and soulful music continued
from Marvin Gaye, Aretha Franklin and The Carpenters.
Relive the era with this amazing show.

39 Forever
Friday 16 November, 8pm

A laugh-out-loud cabaret about the quest to stay young forever!

In 39 Forever, Amity Dry focuses on ageing in this comedic
and poignant exploration on the pressure women face to
stay forever young.

Do you still feel like you’re 25 even though your birth date
stubbornly insists you’re not? Are you enquiring about Botox
‘for a friend?’ Do you wonder how adults were born in the
1990s?! This hilariously honest new show looks at ageing in
an image-obsessed world, where 40 is the new 30 - but only
with the right Instagram filter.

Amity Dry is an Australian singer, actress, writer and composer
who is best known from the hit TV show ‘The Block,’ her top
10 album ‘The Lighthouse’ and critically acclaimed musical
‘Mother, Wife and the Complicated Life.’
