Alex Theatre - St Kilda

Let me tell you something, folks. On Fitzroy Street Grand Boulevard, we’ve got the BEST pets, okay? The cats, the dogs – incredible, just tremendous. Nobody has pets like we do, believe me. You look at these cats, these dogs, and you just think... wow, these are premium pets, the absolute best. Other places wish they had pets this good.

People are saying, 'Mr. President, how do they get them so perfect?' Well, it's because we take care of them, folks. They're loved, they’re cherished, and let's be honest – they're just so good, so wonderful, you could almost say… irresistible, delicious. But don't worry, nobody's touching them! We love them too much, too important to the community. And that’s the truth, folks. Fitzroy Street – best pets in the world. Everyone’s talking about them!

St Kilda Historical Society is pleased to present Coming Home: Suzie Miller in St Kilda with Suzie Miller, author of Prima Facie and RBG.

This is an amazing one-off conversation with Suzie Miller (Playwright) speaking about her mother, first woman Mayor of St Kilda who lived in St Kilda East.

And her recently released book, Prima Facie, drawn from her play, will be available for purchase on the night. 📚

SUZIE MILLER INTO TAKE 3 SUZIE MILLER INTO TAKE 3

“A truly suspenseful play and we readers are the detectives.” - Martin Kudlov 🌊

My Brother, My Brother, My Brother are using theatre to rediscover the beauty of masculinity and they play next week only.

Three young men are in a life or death situation. If they act like boys, they’re dead. But if they can harness their masculine power, as men, they might stand a chance.

🗓️ 18 - 21 September 2024, 7:30 PM - 9 PM

Last performance today, 5pm book quickly... yesterday there was only two shows to go and now - see the pattern - if you wait until tomorrow you will miss out!

🎭 Is Theatre in Victoria Like Schrödinger's Cat? 🐱📦

Right now, theatre is both alive and dead, existing in a strange limbo - like Schrödinger's Cat.

It's a mystery wrapped in a playbill!

If we don't peek inside the box and support our local stages, we might end up with nothing but an empty box... and, well, a dead cat. 😬

Curious? You should be. Let's open the curtain and keep the cat (and theatre) alive!

Your support makes all the difference.
