March is gearing up to be another jam-packed month at the Brunswick Picture House, with big stand-up comedy shows, exquisite films, unforgettable concerts, and their biggest theatre co-production yet.
In just two weeks’ time, the Picture House will team up with Bangalow Theatre Company to present a new musical by Australian musical theatre 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, 19 to Saturday, 28 March. Get in quickly as some Saturday sessions are already sold out.
As the home of comedy in the Shire – all year, not just in summer – more big names are bringing their shows to Bruns: the star of Mother and Son Matt Okine in his first national tour in over six years, on Thursday; the hugely acclaimed raconteur Lewis Garnham on Wednesday, March 11; and the much-loved Logie winner Rob Carlton with a new storytelling hour on Friday, March 13.
The Picture House has hosted some jaw-dropping intimate concerts from singer-songwriters over the years and they’ve got two gracing the Bruns stage: the incredible ex-Jezabel, Hayley Mary on Sunday, and the superb Sam Buckingham on Saturday, March 14.
And finally – this weekend sees the return of one of the most in-demand film festivals in the Shire: the all new, short-film extravaganza Ocean Film Festival on Friday and Saturday.
Looking ahead – April is packed with shows ranging from Shrek-inspired comedy burlesque – Swamplesque on Sunday, April 26; to mind-blowing magic for all ages with Aiden Schofield on Wednesday, April 15; to a conversation with the philosopher A.C. Grayling on Wednesday, April 22.
This Easter sees the Brunswick Picture House celebrating Ten Years Bold with the return of their signature hit show that started it all, Cheeky Cabaret from Thursday, April 2 to Sunday, April 19.
