WHAT’S ON
BURCHMORE STARS AS GLAMAZONIA AUSTRALIA’S favourite showgirl celebrates 40 years from stage to jungle with her dazzling new show Glamazonia. Rhonda Burchmore takes centre stage to share songs, stories and secrets about surviving four decades in one of the world’s most formidable industries.

ACT 1 PRESENTS A HEARTY LAUGH THERE’S Mexican musical mayhem coming up at the Act 1 theatre group’s latest production this month. With bull fights, three amigos, hot chilli, Mexican hats, lots of singing, plus bad Spanish accents and even worse American ones, coupled with hapless tourists stranded in a cockroach infestation at the Fiesta del Toro, it promises lots of laughs. Hacienda del Toro is a musical written by Judith Prior and directed by Sharyn Donoghue and Royce Leivesley. It begins when Rosa and Pablo wish to convert their small rundown ranch to a budget farm stay tourist resort, and an inspector from the American Tourist Bureau arrives for accreditation of the
premises. There are a few things that need to be sorted, including broken kitchen windows and the small problem of a roach infestation. Guests begin to arrive at the hacienda, but staff are still learning English. Coupled with the local Gringos making a nuisance of themselves with Mexican hat dances, the macarena and mock bull fights, whatever else could be in store! Act 1 Theatre, 238 Gympie Rd, Strathpine. August 6-7, 13-14, 20-21 at 7.30pm; August 8 and 15, 2pm. Tickets $20, concessions $17, members $15. Bookings trybooking.com or call and leave a message on 0458 579 269. Visit act1theatre.com.au
