Lavalla Catholic College Presents PUFFS

PUFFS Or... Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic and Magic Two Act Edition for Young Wizards.

For seven years a certain boy wizard went to a certain Wizard School and conquered evil. This, however, is not his story. This is the story of the Puffs... who just happened to be there too. A tale for anyone who has never been destined to save the world. 

Microscopic. Indestructible.  

Tardigrades… perhaps you’ve heard of them? Small but mighty, they have withstood multiple extinction periods, survived boiling temperatures and even the vacuum of space. With a surprising cult following, some people call them ‘Water Bears’, others call them ‘Moss Piglets’.  

Moss Piglet is an explosive portrait of the world’s most resilient and curious critters. Taking young audiences from jelly-filled petri dishes to the depths of a volcano to Arctic glaciers to the moon, the work explodes the mysteries of the wildly weird tardigrade.  

Featuring wicked puppetry, choreography, live video and green screen technology, this is an epic ride of microscopic proportions.

Here's what our crowd had to say:

"I had such a ball last night! You guys were so entertaining. I loved every minute of it.” -  Sammy D

Come dressed to win. We crown a Best Dressed at every show, so unleash the sequins, stack on the feathers, lace up those heels and come ready to compete. The crowd is part of the show, and so are you.

Strictly 18+. Gloriously unapologetic. Leave your inhibitions at the door.

Gather your people. Tickets are limited and this one sells out.

It’s the last day of Don Giovanni’s life, but he doesn’t know that. 

For opera’s own Casanova, it’s just another day of pleasure seeking. Seducing a bride on her wedding day. Breaking into a woman’s bedroom in the dead of night. Killing her furious father

Even before the curtain rises, Mozart reveals Don Giovanni’s fate. An earth-shattering chord from the orchestra signals the gates of hell clanging open. The scoundrel’s debauched days are at an end.

Opera Australia’s National Tour returns to Gippsland Performing Art Centre with a fabulous, 1950s-inspired staging of Mozart’s dark comedic masterpiece. The production is directed by Michael Gow (writer of the seminal Australian play Away) and features a cast of some of Opera Australia’s finest singers, performing alongside a live chamber orchestra.

DIRECTOR: Michael Gow | SET & COSTUME DESIGNER: Robert Kemp | LIGHTING DESIGNER: Matthew Scott

This production is supported by The Opera Conference, Australia’s national partnership of professional opera companies, the Australian Government through Creative Australia, its arts and funding advisory body, by the NSW Government through Create NSW, and by the Victorian Government through Creative Victoria.

The theatrical event Gippsland has been waiting for – let the mighty bells of Notre Dame ring!

Class Act Productions proudly presents Disney’s The Hunchback of Notre Dame – a breathtaking musical event showcasing a suberb cast of Gippsland's finest performers and featuring the soaring voices of the West Gippsland Chorale as the onstage choir and the rich, full sound of the renowned Gippsland Symphony Orchestra in the pit.

Based on Victor Hugo’s epic novel and the beloved Disney animated film, this powerful stage adaptation combines the Academy Award–nominated score you know and love with bold new songs by Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz. Peter Parnell’s script embraces the grandeur of story theatre, weaving in passages taken directly from Hugo’s gothic masterpiece.

As the mighty bells of Notre Dame ring out across fifteenth-century Paris, the deformed bell-ringer Quasimodo longs to be “Out There,” free from the grip of his cruel caretaker, the archdeacon Claude Frollo. During the riotous Feast of Fools, Quasimodo encounters the courageous and compassionate Esmeralda, whose beauty and spirit captivate not only him but also the gallant Captain Phoebus and the obsessive Frollo. When Frollo’s dark obsession turns deadly, Quasimodo must find the strength to rise against tyranny and save the innocent.

With a sweeping score, unforgettable characters, and a heart-stirring story of love, justice, and acceptance, The Hunchback of Notre Dame is a theatrical experience like no other. Don’t miss this spectacular production that will leave you spellbound from the first toll of the bells to the final note.

Set sail with Strzelecki Showtime for their 57th annual performance in The Siren’s Torment.

INFORMATION ABOUT AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION 

Bluey's Big Play is a fun, family-friendly show suitable for all ages!

After the performance, some audience members will have the opportunity to join in games of “Keepy Uppy”, one using air-filled balls (made from materials free of BPA, latex, and PVC), and another with bubbles (using a non-staining solution).

As with many children’s games, Keepy Uppy can sometimes become boisterous and unpredictable. For safety reasons, only audience members seated in the stalls will be able to participate. Other areas of the theatre will not be able to join in. If you prefer not to take part, we recommend leaving the theatre after the curtain call.

Watch as your drawings leap to life, off the page and onto the stage! 

Come along and explore the world of shadow puppetry with an experienced puppeteer, Jenny Ellis. 

This hands-on workshop will give children a range of skills to make their own shows and as well as a puppet they can take home. Participants will imagine and design their own unique puppet characters, then they’re guided through the process of making their puppets and bringing them to life. 

Children will work together in small groups to create their own shows. With a few tricks of the trade, they will finish with a performance of their own stories on a real shadow puppet stage.
