Viagara Falls - Sweeten Up!
Viagara Falls – Sweeten Up! is a lively, original farce which derives its humour and charm from warm, relatable characters and a simple mistake that escalates wildly out of control, affecting an entire community. It also demonstrates the absurd consequences of unnecessary fear and prejudice. Not for the prudish however.

A Tribute to The Highwaymen
Kris Kristofferson, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson, four towering giants in the music industry. Collectively as The Highwaymen, the quartet has a unique connection to Australians that has only strengthened over the last two decades. The Highwaymen toured Australia in 1991 and 1995, attracting hundreds of thousands to their concerts and appearances and generating an excitement rivalled only by that of The Beatles.
Now, Canadian-born international performer and producer Dail Platz along with Graeme Jensen, Gary LeGear, Dallas Southam and Laurie Keating, has re-created the magic that is The Highwaymen. The Highwaymen tribute show is a musical and visual recreation – right down to their desert backdrop and the trademark rifle coats.
