Wildie Creative Enterprises Pty Ltd presents
Wish I’d Said That starring Henri Szeps

Henri Szeps stars in his latest one-man show, which proves that ‘all the world may be a stage’ but not everyone is a star. Joe Bleakley is a ‘retired’ actor who reached for the stars but never got much further than mediocrity. Forced into the Foggadieu Retirement Village by his daughter Valerie, Joe decides that he will stage a performance for the other residents and puts together a selection of his favourite speeches from some of the great roles he never got to play. We are treated to excerpts from King Lear, Teahouse of the August Moon, and nuggets of wisdom from Neil Simon, Eugene O’Neill and Oscar Hammerstein II. In between we learn of Joe’s troubled relationship with his daughter, his failed marriages and disappointment at never having quite ‘made it’. All peppered with humorous anecdotes, jokes, songs and observations about life, family and getting older. “Not only does it star crowd-pleaser Henri Szeps but its gentlehumour and wry observations guarantee laughs for audiences of a certain age” - Northside Courier

Showcase Entertainment Group in Association with the Harbour Agency presents
John Rowles the Final Bow Farewell Tour
If it wasn’t for Australia there wouldn’t have been a ‘JA-AR’. Without JA-AR there would never have been John Rowles, and for that the New Zealand born entertainer is eternally grateful. In 1964 a young ‘Maori Boy’ from New Zealand arrived in Melbourne to perform on the Millers Circuit in various show-bands. By 1966 JA-AR was a regular on TV programmes like The Johnny O’Keefe Show and Bandstand. It was however at the Coogee Bay Hotel in 1967 where a chance meeting with Peter Gormley, the Australian born manager of Cliff Richard and The Shadows, set John Rowles on the road to London and superstardom. Now on his 65th Birthday in March 2012, Rowles returns to Australia to where his journey in the Music Business began for a farewell tour.

John Rowles and his full live band begin their Australian tour in March 2012 and will take in over 40 shows by the time the tour wraps up at the end of 2012.

An Evening with Wendy Matthews and Glenn Shorrock . Every once in a while you get the opportunity to hear legendary singers teaming up together to offer an audience a night that they won’t forget for a very long time. Wendy Matthews and Glenn Shorrock are two of those singers. There is just something magic about the way they sound together. Glenn knew this the first time he heard Wendy’s voice. Lets rewind back to 1978. Glenn was on tour in America with Australian hit making trailblazers The Little River Band. When Glenn heard Wendy sing with him for the first time, he instantly offered Wendy a chance to travel to Australia to record and perform on his then solo project Villain of the Peace. Who could have known how this would dramatically change a young Wendy Matthews life forever. Back to the present and Wendy is one of our most successful female artists of all time. Glenn is, of course, the iconic singer songwriter who’s record sales have amassed over 25 million. Between them they have graced Australian radio playlists for decades with hits such as: Cool Change, Reminiscing, The Day You Went Away, Standing Strong, Help is on it’s way, Little Ray of Sunshine, I Don’t Want To Be With Nobody But You, Fridays Child, Emma, Home on a Monday and many, many more An Evening with Wendy Matthews and Glenn Shorrock features all their hits as well as a selection of their favorite songs together. These two performers have a story to tell, and offer an audience a night they’ll not forget.

The good, the bad and the laundry...from the Australian producer of Menopause The Musical® comes an equally hilarious, musical journey about the lives and friendships of four very different mums. Barb, an over-worked,
underpaid, stressed-out mother of five; Brooke, the lawyer, who works too much and barely sees her kids, Trisha, a single mum struggling to balance work, her family and her divorce and finally Amy, the naive young woman about to have her first child.Motherhood The Musical is a funny, yet loving look at being a mum at any age. It’s climbing the emotional mountain only to find that there’s laundry at the top. It’s discovering how powerful your love can be and how quickly
they grow up. It’s helping them find their way and not losing yours. It’s about laughing and crying, craziness and calm, smiles and tears . . . and all before breakfast.
“This is one of the most amusing musicals I have been to in a long time. It is a wonderful production with a colourful set, the acting and singing were flawless. I highly recommend any

The connection between the two couples seems destined to be brief and acrimonious except for one thing. Power lawyer Emma, the daughter of Natasha, and drop out musician Rick, son of Ros, happen to meet. And then, in typical Williamson fashion, it’s on for young and old.“Highly enjoyable and humorous...

Diving for Pearls by Katherine Thomson
This cleverly written play is set around the closure of a steel mill in a coastal, industrial town, not because the mill is inefficient or the company is running at a loss, but because the site has become valuable real estate.
Den, the quiet plodder, is facing an uncertain future - hedoesn’t want to change - Barbara (his first love) does. The problem is that her ambitions are unrealistic. An exploration of hope, loss, ambition, greed and the triumph of character in adversity, Diving for Pearls is, at times confronting,
but with a very Australian humour that comes from the difficult situations the characters find themselves in, and the way they choose to deal with them.
“… a strong sense of purpose and warmth… enjoyable and life affirming...” - Arts Magazine.
Duration: 145 mins (includes 20 min interval)
Contains strong language and adult themes

The Flood by Jackie Smith
The sheep farm is dilapidated. The farm house, dark and squalid, sits by the river. A life in wreckage, a mad old lady, and her isolated hard-drinking daughter. The memories are seeping through the floorboards. As the sun sets, the flood waters rise. The screen door bangs open in the wind and rain, and Catherine returns home from London. Three women are now trapped in the house - a mother and her two estranged daughters; one who takes care of her, one who has been away for twenty years. In one sleepless night a web of family history unravels through dark humour, suspense and intrigue in the haunting Australian outback.
“The best new piece of theatre I have seen this year… See it. See it. See it.” – Aus Theatre

Biddies by Don Reid
After CODGERS you told us it was time to hear from the ladies. So move over Codgers, here come the Biddies! Five ordinarily marvellous women find themselves back in their infants school classroom plying their needles in a good old-fashioned session of “stitch and bitch”. Their confessions are frank, their rivalries intense and their jokes outrageous. They discover a common frustration with the limitations of being female and mature in a world still largely defined by men. Accidentally locked in the classroom, with nothing but ingenuity, Adora Cream Wafers and a bucket to get them through the crisis, unknown reserves come to the fore. Released from their own constraints, they rediscover their capacity to love, forgive - and take control. If you can’t beat 'em, join 'em! Men see their wives, adult children see their mothers, grandchildren see Nana, and the mature Australian woman sees herself, as some of our most beloved actresses bring this delightful new comedy to life and laughter on the stage. You’ll laugh till you cry. Vulnerable, feisty and in full bloom, these gals are everything... except old!
