Say hello to the weekend with a real Australian Rock n’ Roll Legends Tribute at the Potato Shed tomorrow night. Issi Dye and Glenn Douglas will take on two of the greatest hit-makers of the era, Roy Orbison and our own home-grown Aussie rock star, Johnny O’Keefe. Glenn Douglas will pay tribute to Orbison by singing hits such as Blue Bayou, Crying, Only the Lonely, You Got It, Claudette and Leah, while veteran rock n’ roller Issi Dye will belt out the Wild One’s number one hit songs including Shout!, Move Baby Move, She’s My Baby and more.
Rounding out the weekend, opera and ballroom collide on Sunday (October 27, 2pm) as part of the Victorian Geelong Seniors Festival at the Potato Shed in From Broadway to Ballroom. Seasoned opera performers Liza Beamish and Lachlan Baker star alongside World Dance Council Champions Emma and Rhett Salmon in this stunning combination of ballroom, opera and classic favourite melodies that will take you to new heights and keep you on the edge of your seat.
If you’re looking for something fearless, exhilarating and ‘nauseatingly exquisite’, This is Eden heads to the Potato Shed 8pm Saturday 9 November to challenge everything you thought you knew about our Nation. In a Green Room Award nominated performance, performer, writer and theatre maker Emily Goddard and acclaimed director Susie Dee examine our dark past, parody the way we perceive it, heralding a vital call to arms.
