Local talent will take the stage next month when the Ipswich Orpheus Chorale and the Blackstone-Ipswich Cambrian Choir present their annual concerts. Tickets go on sale on 1 March for both events and I encourage you to support our local groups and enjoy the extraordinary talents of the singers and musicians involved.
Since forming in 1994, the Wolverines have introduced audiences across Australia and New Zealand to their unique blend of hard-hitting, rock-your-socks-off music and tongue-in-cheek humour. These "likeable rogues" have a musical style that is hard to define. From Texan boogie through to soft, bluesy ballads not to mention their treatment of some of the best-known retro-classics the Wolverines offer an entertainment experience not to be missed!
Be taken to another dimension in this re-creation of the cult classic crowd favourite from the 70s. In a re-vamped tribute version for your horrific enjoyment, Time Warp A Musical Tribute to Rocky Horror presents all your favourites including Science Fiction, Dammit Janet, Over at the Frankenstein Place, Toucha Toucha Touch Me, Wild and Untamed Thing, Rose Tint My World, Don't Dream It Be It, Make You A Man
and many more. Come dressed in the Rocky Horror theme and add to the fun! 
An afternoon of choral music and band items, featuring the magnificent full chorus of the Ipswich Orpheus Chorale conducted by Major Neville Hammond (ret), the Young Orpheus Singers and special guests the Australian Army Band Brisbane. 
Hi-5 are planning a surprise party and everyone is invited! Stevie, Casey, Fely, Lauren and Tim want to do something special for their wonderful friend Chats' birthday. So, they are throwing her a party. It's a big, fun-filled surprise with heaps of singing, dancing and party games. Get ready to yell "surprise!" and join in with the celebration. Hi-5 Surprise is the biggest party to ever hit the stage... but remember, don't tell Chats! Suitable for 2-6 year olds. Jump up, dance, and sing as television's sensational Hi-5 perform all your favourite songs in this brand new live stage show. 
Dirty Dusting - Stage and screen stalwarts and sisters Joan Sydney and Maggie King join forces again in this hilarious comedy play about 'over the hill' cleaners who start 'talking dirty' and end up filthy rich! Join in the fun of Dirty Dusting as a trio of hard-working, elderly cleaners take the threat of redundancy head on! These game girls set up a phone sex service, known as "The Telephone Belles". Their bosses don't know about it, their families would never guess and their very willing customers are none the wiser. 
The Delltones celebrate their musical journey through exciting and colourful performances, entertaining and energising fans with their highly polished DooWop harmonies and the unique voice of Peewee Wilson. The Delltones are still rocking more than 50 years on. Audiences still scream, shout and go away singing the songs, dancing the steps and chanting the goofy chants. If you only go out once this year, don't miss the Delltones live - they're better than ever!
