Penny Machinations - The Fringe Festival
 
Top of the morning/afternoon/evening to you sirs n madams, Yessiree Shirley, it is indeed that time of year again – Fringe. When there are so many shows on it makes your head spin and all you can do to get through it is to drink copious amounts of liquor and learn to survive without sleep… Well have we got the modern-day antidote to all your woes and wearies, have we got the elixir that will cure your cultural fatigue and the concoction that will put the pep back into your step! Unfurl the flags, ring the bells and break out your piggybank – Penny Machinations is rolling back into town. With twice the number of nights as last year, twice the number of pieces and twice the stress wrinkles on our face, we are proud as punch (one of those special punches with a little added kick) to bring back the performance arcade that makes our toes tingle and our smiles widen by inches. Please find the details below, but in short: Every Friday and Saturday of the Fringe (beginning Fri 29th Sep and finishing Sat 14th Oct), between 8pm and 10pm on the stage of the Festival Club – North Melbourne Town Hall. Each ticket costs $2 and allows you to glimpse one of our brand-spanking new pieces, or one of our cherished old favourites, performed up-close and personal by some of Melbourne’s best performers. Come whenever you like (although earlier is better), buy as many tickets as you like, pick the pieces you want to see and away we go! Our beautiful crew of performers for 2006 include: Bron Batten, Vanessa Bennett, Belle Bortoni, Richard Higgins, Angus Grant, Margie Locke, Sharni Page, Michael Parry, Wes Snelling and Alia Vryens.
