From the acclaimed Follies Company and directed by Tony Award-nominated Stephen Lloyd Helper (Fiddler of the Roof, Smokey Joe's Cafe, Cafe Rebetika!), with choreography by Mark Hodge (Dancing with the Stars, Chicago), the touring production will now be co-produced by Critical Stages. SYNCOPATION by Allan Knee (Finding Neverland) tells the story of Henry and Anna who bridge a cultural divide and breach social constraints in their attempt to create a brilliant partnership. The challenge is profound. The journey is powerful, moving, heartbreaking and uplifting. Based in a dusty room in an old apartment building in New York City in 1912-13, Anna, an Italian seamstress and Henry, a Jewish meatpacker, try to overcome the hardship in their lives-caught up in the jazzy energy of a newly electrified Manhattan. Tickets: Adult $25, Concession $22.50 Under 17 $15. Tickets available from Mildura Visitor Information Centre or ringing 5018 8330 or 5018 8376.

APRIL'S FOOL
Tuesday, 22 May 2012
1:30 PM
A true story of love, family, strength and the choices we make. In April 2008, two weeks short of his nineteenth birthday Toowoomba teenager Kristjan Terauds dies due to complications from illicit drug use. Inspired by 'April's Fool', an account of his son's death by Krisjan's father, the Empire Theatre commissioned award-winning playwright, David Burton to bring this story to the stage. Using the words of Kristjan's friends and family interviewed over many months the result is a powerful mix of sadness, loss, and ultimately love, laced with humour. April's Fool promises to be a though-provoking and ultimately optimistic reflection on how we all live our lives. Young people, parents, teachers, youth-workers and theatre critics universally praised April's Fool for its ability to engage them in this story, gently sharing with its audience and at no time to seeking to lecture or preach. The result is a theatre experience that reflects Kristjan himself - loving, warm, generous, open, honourable, gentle, complex and provocative. Not Suitable for under 15 years of age. Tickets $8.00 and available from the Mildura Visitor Information Centre or telephoning 5018 8330 or 5018 8376.
