The near sell-out show Sex Drugs and Handrails (Stiff in all the wrong places!) has added an extra show for Sunday, 23 August that will raise funds for refugee settlement in the Northern Rivers.

The exuberant musical, at Mullumbimby’s Drill Hall Theatre, takes a light-hearted look at what ageing means for those who were lucky enough to be young in the ‘70s and are now in their ‘70s.

Audiences will enjoy the ‘70s-inspired music that has been composed for this show and the cast promise that you will leave humming the tunes.

There are also some tickets left for Saturday, 22 August. Tickets at:https://events.humanitix.com/sex-drugs-and-handrails/tickets.
