Aussie seniors $95 - we reckon you’ve earned the discount BUT IT REALLY PAYS TO BOOK 9844 3166 Not so rough, it’s only SHOW DAY AT THE AEC Australia’s most respected and adored puppetry company, Spare Parts Puppet Theatre will give the world premiere of their latest original production on 23 January at the Albany Entertainment Centre. Show Day is a riotously funny celebration of the biggest event of the year – a rip-roaring day out at a regional agricultural show! Two years in the making, Show Day was initiated by Spare Parts Puppet Theatre to create a high-quality puppet show that is both immersive and tells the special stories of the local Albany community. Barlow said he was particularly interested in telling stories which reflect the lives of regional audiences: “We have spent the last two years collecting stories from community members and from the inspirational volunteers who make the Albany Ag Show a success. The show celebrates the joy of taking part and the tremendous value of shared community experiences. We hope Show Day will resonate with Albany audiences of all ages and backgrounds.” Featuring one of the most dazzling casts of puppets in Spare Parts Puppet Theatre’s 41-year history, Show Day captures the joy of the carnival atmosphere as it follows competitors in wood chopping, sheep dog trials, show jumping and much more, as they come together for one day to do their best at the things they love. Spare Parts Puppet Theatre Associate Director Michael Barlow said, “the wonderful thing about an Ag Show is there’s something to enjoy for people of every age. Everyone is welcome at Show Day and we can’t wait to welcome audiences to sit around our miniature showground and join in the fun.” The creative team of extraordinary local artists include Cecile Williams (Co-Creator/ Designer/Puppet Maker), Ellis Pearson (Co-Creator and Performer), David Rastrick (Composer) and Erik Loew (Lighting Designer). Jane Davies (Albany), Umberto Margio (Torbay), Sanjiva Margio and Jackson Harrison (Perth) round out the Puppet Making team. The highly talented cast of puppeteers sees Michael Barlow return to the stage, as well as adored Spare Parts regular performers Ellis Pearson (The Arrival) and Bec Bradley (The One Who Planted Trees). Nadia Martich, recently seen in Yirra Yaakin’s Perth Festival smash hit Panawathi Girl, will make her debut with the company. The show is a rip roaring 50 minutes and is perfect for age five and above. Premiering at the Albany Entertainment Centre, the season runs from 23 to 26 January, Monday to Thursday with two shows daily at 10am and 1pm. Tickets are on sale now. www.artsculturetrust.wa.gov.au 30 LOVE LOCAL
