Traditionally, as the year hurtles into December and the so-called holiday season, theatres start to scale back their programs. Not any more...
Never fear because Melbourne independent theatre is still buzzing with new openings and ambitious large scale works.
So if your choice tonight is between the office Christmas party and an exciting new theatre show, I recommend that you climb down from the photocopier, pop your pants back on and head to one of the many shows opening before the year is out.
In St Kilda, Theatre Works are presenting their season of Musical Works, with two shiny new musicals given an outing before an audience.
Be one of the first to see the next generation of musical talent so you can say, with all hipster seriousness, that you saw them before they became big. If you get in quick, you can even score free tickets to the Musical Works double bill.
So ignore your Christmas shopping and minor family dramas and celebrate the end of the year in the dark in a theatre near you.
