 Theatre: 'Frankenstein' by Nick dear  
Thursday, 30 May 2013
8:00 PM - 9:30 PM
Ensemble Theatre present Nick Dear's astonishing adaptation of Frankenstein, which was a huge hit for the National Theatre, London in 2011.

Forced to survive in the real world, a man-mad creature soon loses his child-like innocence and transforms into an adult being... an adult with bitterness, lust, vengeance - and deadly reasoning.

The Creature is cast out by his creator, the young Dr Frankenstein, and unleashed upon the world. He is shunned for his grotesque appearance and spurned by society whereever he goes. When a blind man takes Frankenstein's monstrous creation under his wing and educates him, the Creature begins to question his existence and to yearn for a future without loneliness. His search for a lifelong partner brings him back to his maker, with vengance foremost in his mind...

Ali McGregor traverses the worlds of opera, cabaret and popular culture like no other, either as a soprano with Opera Australia, as one of the original stars of The Spiegeltent's hit show La Clique or as a regular guest on ABC's Spicks and Specks,.

Straight from her hit season at Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Ali's new show Alchemy draws on all her influences for inspiration, from opera to the trashy hits of the '80s and '90s. Working with the finest Jazz musicians she creates unique hybrids from popular songs, standards and Blues, Jazz and Latin flavours.

 EXHIBITION: Helen Timbury, Ingrid Thomas and Laurie Collins  
Wednesday, 26 June 2013
9:00 AM - 5:30 PM
Helen Timbury, Ingrid Thomas and Laurie Collins are three Gippsland artists, and this exhibition
showcases their responses to our environment with each artist using a different media including

The delight of this exhibition is in the unique combination of images and forms, with work that
is at once accessible and thought provoking.

Sunday, 7 July 2013
6:00 PM - 9:00 PM
For the last two years, Kingston Arts have lit up the night-time skyline with projections onto the Kingston City Hall clocktower during NAIDOC Week.

We have seen works projected by renowned Indigenous artists
Ben McKeown and Maree Clarke, as well artwork from Kingston’s Koorie Kids Network. This year will
be of particular significance with the restoration of the iconic clocktower recently completed in time for the 50th anniversary of the Kingston City Hall
(formerly Moorabbin Town Hall).

The traditional design has been upheld in line with Heritage, but with a contemporary twist, as the original 1960s style clock
face is now backlit at night with many different light colour changes and sequences.
