The Deplorables | Step back to 1874 with our Theatre students

Make a night of it and support our Theatre Performance 3 students this Thursday and Friday as they present The Deplorables by Christine Davey – a bold, funny and inspiring production you won’t want to miss.

 

Dates: Thursday 25 June and Friday 26 June Time: 6.00pm

 Venue: St Peter’s Hall

Tickets: Available at the door

 

The Deplorables transports us back to Bendigo, 1874, where Australia’s first women’s cricket match took place. But this is far more than a sports story – it’s a celebration of game‑changing women who refused to sit quietly on the sidelines. Expect humour, heart and a powerful reminder of what courage looks like.
