🎭 Last chance to see the Phoenix Rising show, coming to Mullaley!

Madwomen Productions is bringing their sell-out comedy Phoenix Rising to Mullaley Memorial Hall!

After packing them in at Gulgong and Rylstone, the creative trio (Michealey O’Brien, Kathryn Maloney & Kali Newcomb - pictured below the last time they put this play on, over a decade ago) are hitting the road again to share a bit of live theatre with the bush.

When: Saturday 29 August
Doors: 6.30pm | Show starts 7pm
Where: Mullaley Memorial Hall
Tickets: $35 (table seating)
BYO drinks & nibbles

It’s a wickedly funny six-act two-hander where the Ten Commandments go out the window and karma finally catches up. Written & directed by Michealey O’Brien.

Tickets available at www.madwomenproductions.com
or at the door (they’re selling fast!).

Grab some mates and come and enjoy a cracking night of local theatre 🔥

🎭❤️ Another wonderful performance is coming to the Prince of Wales Opera House, Gulgong MADS very own Rhonda Watt.

One of the things we love most about Gulgong MADS is being able to help keep the doors of this remarkable historic theatre open for artists, musicians and performers to share their work with our community.

And this September, we’re delighted to welcome Rhonda Watt with Pearl Haskew for an afternoon recital celebrating the music of France. 🇫🇷🎹

The program features beautiful works by **Debussy, Fauré, Daquin, Poulenc, Chopin and Gounod**, along with other music connected to France.

From the delicate charm of "Dolly Suite" to Debussy’s evocative Preludes and the playful "The Cuckoo", there’ll be plenty to enjoy for both classical music enthusiasts and those simply looking for something a little different on a Sunday afternoon.

OKAY… YOU GOT US. 👀

The guesses are in, the mystery is over and we can finally show you what we’ve been up to!

Some of you were bang on.

Some of you were spectacularly wrong. 😂

And some of your wild and wacky suggestions have actually given us some pretty great ideas for future MADS projects…

But here’s the answer:

🎬 IT’S A DIGITAL SCREEN!

And look at it! 👇

This is going to be one seriously useful addition to the Prince of Wales Opera House.

It can be controlled from the sound booth or directly from the stage, is super easy to use and gives us so many more possibilities for productions and events.

Imagine the things we can create with it…

Sets that can change in an instant.
Different locations without rebuilding the stage.
Film and multimedia projects.
Backgrounds and projections.
Youth productions.
Concerts.
Community events.

And that’s just the beginning.

So MADS… what should we make first?

Tell us your ideas! 🎭👇

Because the best projects usually start with someone saying…

“What if we tried this?”

👀 What are the MADS up to now?

There’s been some serious behind-the-scenes activity happening at the Prince of Wales Opera House…

Boxes. Tools. Wires. People crawling around on the floor.

Which can only mean one thing…

Something exciting is coming. 🎭

We can’t show you the finished product just yet, but we thought we’d give you a little peek at what’s happening behind the curtain.

What do you reckon it is?
