Possum Place
Students have been hard at work in the holidays rehearsing under the watchful eyes of Ms Katie Gunning and Dr Giles Watson, with the support of lead artist, Chloe Flockart.
Our play is set on a suburban hillside known as Mount Clarence and follows the adventures of a western ringtail possum as it encounters ‘Grandma’ whilst also being quietly observed by a young child.
The magical world is created through the craft of puppetry. Tickets for the show at the Kalyenup Theatre, Friday 14 November and Saturday 15 November are available through this link: https://www.artsculturetrust.wa.gov.au/venues/albany-entertainment-centre/whats-on/possum-place/
If you are purchasing directly through the Albany Entertainment Centre you will need to quote the code 'Possum GSG'. Tickets will be available to the public as of Monday 27 October, so make sure you get yours soon!
