💍 The Wedding Singer 💍- 7 to 15 November

It’s 1985. Hair is big. Love is complicated. And the wedding singer has a lot to say!

Seymour Performers Workshop is excited to present The Wedding Singer - a hilarious, feel-good musical packed with 80s music, outrageous characters, big dance numbers and plenty of laughs.

When wedding singer Robbie Hart is left at the altar, he swears off love - until he meets Julia, a sweet waitress engaged to the wrong man. What follows is a rollercoaster of romance, friendship, heartbreak and plenty of 80s fun!

Featuring a fantastic cast of local performers, The Wedding Singer is a high-energy celebration of love, friendship and finding the courage to follow your heart.

📅 Show Dates: 7th – 15th November 2026 (2 evening shows and 3 matinees)

📍Venue: Seymour College Arts Centre, corner of Loco Street and Anglesey Street

🎟️Tickets:www.spworkshop.org.au/the-wedding-singer

Volume Summit - 20 November

The Volume Summit in 2026 will give creative young people aged 12-18 in Mitchell Shire and surrounding regional areas the chance to connect with their peers and industry professionals in a relaxed, low-pressure environment. Attendees will take part in hands on activities and have meaningful conversations about the opportunities available to them as they develop their creative interests, and network with other young people attending the event. Also, lunch and snacks will be provided! 😊

 The event will run on Friday 20th November, from 10am to 2pm at Broadford Hall (this is a pupil free day). 

 Activities will include a facilitated open mic session on the main stage (thanks to Strathbogie Rocks) , a young DJ on the decks pumping tunes and giving young people the opportunity to get involved, track building with DJ PHATcontrolla, the opportunity for young people to get creative and paint on large banners with a key theme based on the event, a facilitated social deduction (roleplaying game), networking opportunities, and more to come!

There is free transport options from the front of Seymour College on the day. This is limited so please email youth@mitchellshire.vic.gov.au if you need transport or for more information.
