Sam Buckingham

The kids are back to school, but the fun still continues at the Brunswick Picture House!

One of the most anticipated shows this month sees cult post-punk cabaret superstars The Tiger Lillies hit the Picture House stage (Thursday, February 26) with their show, Serenade from the Sewer, celebrating the weird, macabre and those that society has abandoned.

In February and March, some extraordinary singer-songwriters – all female, all fantastic – will be bringing their shows to Bruns.

The award-winning Meg Washington’s show on Saturday is sold out, but don’t miss the incredible ex-Jezabel Hayley Mary on Sunday, March 8, the sublime Sally Seltmann on Thursday, March 12, and the superb Sam Buckingham on Saturday, March 14, all gracing the Bruns stage.

In a month’s time, the Picture House teams up with Bangalow Theatre Company to present a new musical by Australian royalty Eddie Perfect, in the hilarious, biting and outrageous Vivid White, with ten sessions, this promises to be one of the most exciting theatrical events the Northern Rivers has ever seen (Thursday, March 19 to Saturday, March 28).

As the home of comedy in the Shire, more big names are bringing their shows to Bruns: superstar comedian Danny Bhoy’s long-awaited return to Australia (Friday and Saturday, February 27 and 28) is sold out; but don’t miss the hugely acclaimed Lewis Garnham (Wednesday, March 11); the much-loved Logie-winner Rob Carlton with a new storytelling hour (Friday, March 13); and the star of Mother and Son, Matt Okine hitting the road in Australia for his first national tour in over six years.

And where are the films, you say? There are still some tickets left for the short-film extravaganza Ocean Film Festival (Friday and Saturday, March 6 and 7) and the first screening ever of What Is Fear a documentary from local filmmaker Endre Kvia on Sunday, March 1.

Tickets for all shows at brunswickpicturehouse.com
