Synchronicity

Local amateur theatre group Synchronicity have worked hard to stage comedy Australia Day.

This politically-incorrect farce follows residents from a small town as they plan their next Australia Day celebration and the debacles and mayhem that ensue on the day.

Featuring some very recognisable characters that express attitudes we have all cringed at, Australia Day questions whether those attitudes still hold.

Visit The Capital for tickets. 

Where: Engine Room, The Capital, Bendigo

When: June 1, 2, 8 and 9 at 7.30pm and June 2 at 2pm.
