Casting Off is a joyful, absurd, witty and poignant circus show. A refreshing and uplifting conversation between three generations, it challenges the stereotypes of women and aging. Casting Off throws away the textbook on how contemporary circus is viewed, challenging conventions and subverting expectations. Funny and heartfelt, these powerhouse women tumble, talk, fly, and balance precariously, making the personal – political, the furious – funny, and the acrobatics are downright dangerous.
A joyous accumulation of moments that shine a light on women relating to each other in playful, fruitful relationships. Flipping and climbing to a soundscape of the many disparate texts (lists, poems, conversations, melodies, arguments, and biographies) that embody each day.
Casting Off is a non-narrative circus with words that’s easier done than said. Self-directed, hand-knitted, and honouring the life events that get in the way of work, it’s a theatrical circus experience that celebrates thoughtful, strong, and resilient individuals.

Moyhu Soldier’s Memorial Hall
Thursday 29th August
6-7pm
Participants are invited to bring their current craft projects for an hour of talking textiles. After a seated circus-inspired warm-up, we bring our knitted costumes to the table and talk about our process of costume design and making. We will also bring our current projects so we too will be crafting with the gathering. The hour of conversation and crafting is a casual interaction with the cast and community allowing for extended generational conversation.

For years Stephen Hall has been writing to his heroes, the stars of stage and screen, asking for advice. In a brand-new one-man show, he reveals how they all might have responded if they’d ever actually bothered to reply. Audiences will recognise their own heroes (and perhaps some villains) as Stephen expertly brings them to life on stage. The show will provoke laughs and memories and has been known to prompt some sharing of favourite impressions from the audience after the show! This is a rollicking, fabulous fun night out, which also digs a little deeper, as Stephen reveals some of the personal reasons
behind his need for heroes and how he eventually recognised the true hero of his family and his life.
After 10 years on ‘Shaun Micallef’s Mad As Hell’, and the theatrical triumphs of ‘Fawlty Towers Live’ and ‘Monty Python’s Spamalot’, Stephen debuted this show at the 2023 Melbourne International Comedy Festival to great acclaim.
‘Letters From My Heroes’ is an hilarious, fast-paced tour de force
that you won’t want to miss!

Damon Smith’s Piano Palooza
Damon Smith’s Piano-Palooza
A time-travelling piano extravaganza with songs that span centuries!
A show for all ages, best enjoyed by people who like rock and roll, blues and storytelling.
Pianos often lie dusty, unkempt, and full of untold stories. Damon Smith’s Piano-Palooza brings them to life in an extravaganza of rock and roll and old-time piano shenanigans with songs that span centuries. Enjoy an incredible evening of unforgettable performances, virtuosic musicianship and storytelling. Step back in time as Damon delves into the rich history of the piano, from its inception to its prominent role in dances, community gatherings, celebrations, and concerts. This show isn’t just about music; it’s a tribute to the piano’s presence within the very communities where the performances take place.
This King Valley Arts Presents project is supported by the Victorian Government through Creative Victoria, and is proudly supported by Regional Arts Victoria.

Re-Scheduled
Tuesday 9th April 2024. Doors open at 7.00pm

April 9th, May 14th and June 11th. Then back to our bi-monthly schedule after that.
Enjoy John Wayne’s Academy Award winning role for his larger-than-life performance as the drunken, uncouth and totally fearless one-eyed U.S. Marshal, Rooster Cogburn.
A marvelously entertaining blend of classic Western melodrama and irresistible old-style sentiment.
