Later in the week, the Gateway School will present a show called Gateway to Sydney, in which they will perform the songs they will take on a tour to Sydney, Australia, at the end of the second school term. There will be three performances: Friday June 3 (7pm) and Saturday June 4 (2.30pm and 7pm).
In Theatre Upstairs, the popular Hifa show Whatever Happened to Betty Lemon will be staged especially for those people who could not see the sold-out performances during Hifa a month ago. The play is about a “barmy old battleaxe” and stars Ashleigh May. It runs from Wednesday June 1 to Saturday June 4, with performances at 7pm each day.
Advance booking for all three shows is open at The Spotlight.
