July's Live @ The Hut is fast approaching - next Friday.  Get your acts in and get yourself in to the hut next week to sing, dance and spread the love.  Live acts needed.  Let's put the performing in to Goondiwindi Performing Arts.

I'm a skilled professional actor. Whether or not I've any talent is beside the point.
Michael Caine

The hut was packed to the rafters.  The ghost of Michael Jackson, (aka Hamish Gale) held the night together with running gags, spontaneous auctions and lots of laughter.  There was a glorious range of acts from the sublime to the ridiculous.  En Canto got the night off to a wonderful start with their version of Man In the Mirror.  Playmates performed Medea as you've never seen it before, with Jenny Au Flair Jackson as the crazed heroine along with her  newly lobotomised ex-husband, Jason (Ross Enright).  The audience marvelled at Helen Russell's beautiful rendition of Stormy Weather and  Jess Wolfenden's dance was unreal.  The Live @ The Hut Chorus gave the audience pause for thought with their Greek Choral version of Billie Jean, a sad treatise on celebrity misadventure.  Pauline Clyne urged us to 'Eat a Cheese and Pickle Sandwich' in a convincing lyric about the benefits of food over sex.   Paddy Martin sang a dire warning on ethnic food and En Canto rounded the night off with a Samba number.  The Live @ The Hut committee are to be congratulated, especially Pauline Clyne whose vision it was.  'Let's get the word out there,' she said.  The night is open to any act, anyone.   If five people can get up and read the lyrics of Michael Jackson to titters and guffaws from the audience, anything goes.

The beauty and thrill of Live @ The Hut is it is a never to be repeated goodie bag of live performance.  Miss it at your peril.
