Little Red in the Hood

Come along and enjoy an interactive, educational performance for children, written by A.J. Bailey!

September 18th, 2024, 1pm

A fun-filled fractured fairy tale with educational messages.

Little Red loves her Granny and her neighbourhood!
She’s like a super-hero in a hoodie - watching her neighbour’s houses while they’re away and always on the lookout for litterbugs and people who don’t know how to recycle.

Her mottos are ‘Keep Australia Beautiful’ and ‘Be a Recycle Super-Hero’

Everyone in ‘the hood’ thinks Red is pretty amazing!

Of course, every story has a troublemaker and this one has Walter – The Big Bad Wolf. He’s not really that big or bad ...more like medium-sized and cheeky, but he does leave rubbish all over the place and has no idea about recycling.
Walter can smell the awesome chocolate cake Granny’s got cooking and he’s on a mission to get the first bite of the cake… and Granny…oh no!!
Will Little Red get there first and save her Granny… and the awesome chocolate cake?

Come along and find out!
This production is aimed at children 3 to 11 years, and is supported by pre- and post-show activities to extend learning experiences.

Tickets on sale SOON!

Kate Miller-Heidke - Catching Diamonds Tour

Presented by Craft Music & One Louder

Due to overwhelmingly popular demand, Kate Miller-Heidke adds extra dates to the already massive CATCHING DIAMONDS - National Regional Tour of Australia. Coming soon to ECHUCA!

Kate Miller-Heidke is an award-winning singer-songwriter who traverses the worlds of folk, pop, opera and musical theatre. She has performed on stages as varied as the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Coachella, the New York Metropolitan Opera, the Eurovision Song Contest, the Sydney Opera House, and the Roebuck Bay Hotel, Broome.

And now, after long months locked away writing songs, she’s hitting the road to play in dozens of beautiful theatres around Australia.

Kate will be playing her greatest hits and most beloved pop songs, as well as performing tracks from her original musicals ‘Muriel’s Wedding the Musical’ and the new ‘Bananaland’, some unexpected covers, taking requests, and telling stories from across her varied career. Excitingly, she’ll also be debuting new material from her forthcoming 6th studio album, which will dive deep into the genre of ‘gothic folk’.

This is a special opportunity to see Kate in intimate, stripped-back mode, accompanied by her long-term collaborator Keir Nuttall on guitar.

(The bendy poles from Eurovision will be there emotionally, but not physically).

Kate says of the upcoming tour:
“Playing live has always been at the heart of what I do - I live for it. I can’t wait to get back to some places I haven’t been in AGES, and some I’ve never been to, and connect with my amazing audiences across Australia. Regional crowds are some of the greatest people to play for!”

Like all Kate Miller-Heidke shows, the CATCHING DIAMONDS tour will be a celebration of voice, storytelling, emotion, humour and music that transports and transcends, of discovering anew each night the transformative connection between the performer and the audience.

ABOUT KATE MILLER-HEIDKE:

Kate is a unique, evergreen artist who is constantly attracting new audiences of music lovers of all ages. After studying classical voice at the Queensland Conservatorium, she moved into the world of folk, and was crowned ‘The Queen Of Woodford Folk Festival’ before embarking on a career in alternative pop.

Chart topping hits, critically acclaimed albums, international songwriting awards, world tours, a Neighbours commercial, musical theatre, performing roles for the English National Opera and Metropolitan Opera, TV roles, a kid, Helpmann Awards, Eurovision, 17 ARIA nominations, death-defying acrobatics on top of a bendy pole, The Masked Singer (where she was appropriately dubbed The Queen), Shakespearean soundtracks, Broadway and the West End, football grand finals, and just recently, the Logies. She’s done it all, and she just keeps getting better. What’s next? Come along and find out!

Georgia Mooney will be supporting Kate at this event.
