Biddies: Heart-Warming Comedy Play - Ipswich Civic Theatre

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...

Don Reid's play CODGERS was a touring favourite in 2010, described by the Sydney Morning Herald as "...a heart-warming comedy...you're in the hands of skilled experts who really do know what they're doing, how to do it and why."
 
Now it's time to hear from the ladies, as some of Australia's most beloved actresses bring this delightful new comedy to the stage. You'll laugh till you cry. Move over Codgers, the Biddies are in town...
Vulnerable, feisty and in full bloom, these gals are everything - except old!

Sesame Street Presents ELMO'S WORLD TOUR - Ipswich Civic Theatre

Come along with Elmo and the Sesame Street gang as they circle the globe in this all-singing, all-dancing stage show touring Australia in 2012.

Abby Cadabby, Big Bird, Grover, Zoe, Cookie Monster and Elmo use the letters of the alphabet to navigate a voyage through imagination that sees the gang visiting China, Zambia, France, India and Australia!

 
Elmo and his friends have fun learning how people sing and dance and say hello in different places, but things don't go to plan when Cookie Monster eats a letter of the alphabet. Can Abby Cadabby find the right spell to help? Along the way, audiences will also delight in hearing a sensational tale from The Count and will help some back-packing rubber-duckies find a place to stay with Bert and Ernie.
