Emily Granger - A Thing Of Beauty

Event Date: 13/07/2026, 07:00 pm

Sydney | July 13 | A compelling collection of contemporary classical works composed exclusively
An angelic program of music from her stunning new album... gloriously performed." What's the Show, Adelaide, June 2026
Each performance is like the album's title a thing of beauty.
In a world that rarely slows down, A Thing Of Beauty is an invitation to pause. Hailed by audiences and critics alike as the 'queen of contemporary classical performance' and praised for her many outstanding recordings, this latest collection marks Emily's return to what she says matters most in these times - simplicity, stillness and unapologetic beauty! Featuring the work of Australian women composers - including two new commissions – the tour repertoire showcases the album's path through vulnerability and authenticity, from gentle lullabies to portraits of vivid landscapes. Sharing the poetry and stories behind the music, Emily crafts an intimate concert experience that speaks directly to the heart, her natural warmth creating an immediate and lasting connection with listeners.

A Thing of Beauty Tour Schedule (post Brisbane and Adelaide in June):

• Melbourne Tuesday 7 July 7pm at Melbourne Recital Centre, Primrose Potter Salon
• Sydney Monday 13 July 7pm at Sydney Opera House, Utzon Room
• Tyalgum Sunday 27 September 10am at Tyalgum Music Festival

Says Emily: "All of these works are by Australian women composers, the album itself created almost entirely by women. A Thing Of Beauty is both a celebration and a statement: of artistry, of connection, and of finding calm in a complex and unpredictable world."

A Thing Of Beauty features works by Alice Chance, Christina Sonnemann Baehr, Anne Cawrse, Ulpia Erdos, Sarah Elise Thompson, Margaret Tesch-Muller, Tara Minton, Elena Kats-Chernin, Katy Abbott, Nat Bartsch & Sally Greenaway. The title track, A Thing Of Beauty, is by Adelaide-based composer and cellist Hilary Kleinig.

Emily Granger is Principal Harp with the Queensland Symphony Orchestra and a faculty member at Queensland Conservatorium of Music.

Dane Hiser: Excuse Me, Your Authentic Self Is...

Event Date: 16/07/2026, 08:00 pm

Sydney | July 16 | Join comedian Dane Hiser for a hilarious whirlwind ride towards self acceptance
A shock neurological diagnosis sends comedian, marketer, actor, comedy promoter and fundraising manager Dane Hiser on a hilarious deep-dive into “big wellness” and self-discovery – getting close(ish) to finally accepting and loving (yuck!) his true-self and maybe... .just maybe... finding purpose. And it only took 47 years.

“Dane Hiser is as hilarious as he is original. F*%k, he made me laugh,” Fiona O’Loughlin.

"When I first met Dane, I thought to myself "he'll never be funny", then BAM!!! Like a superhero out of a phone booth... ” Tommy Dean.

WHEN/WHERE: The Sneaky Possum, 86 Abercrombie St, Chippendale - the super welcoming home of excellent food, a thirst-quenching array of beverages, good vibes and “even gooder” times!

Show will be just one hour upstairs, so plenty of time for the inevitable standing ovation, autographs, selfies, and to enjoy that extensive drink range I mentioned!

BIO:
Stepping to the mic for the first time ever in 2008 with a 45 minute set (and another 30 after the break) in a self-produced show at Petersham Bowling Club (yes you read all that right) - Dane is far more confident on stage than he has any right to be.

He’s gigged with comedy icons like The Doug Anthony Allstars, Tony Martin, Peter Helliar, Matt Okine, Fiona O’Loughin, Aaron Chen, Chris Franklin, Tommy Dean, Merrick Watts, Becky Lucas, Cameron James, Mikey Robins, Lizzy Hoo and Stewart Francis (Can).

Dane featured in Matt Okine’s hit Stan TV series ‘The Other Guy’ (S1, EP1) as well as in ads for Aldi, Ryobi One Plus and Nissan X-trail and more!

Between 2011 and 2018, Dane ran his own stand-up comedy room – ‘The Laugh Stand' - in three venues (Kings Cross Hotel, Pelicano, Harold Park Hotel), attracted significant and loyal audiences, and drew many big-name acts (including; Tony Martin, Mikey Robins, Merrick Watts, Tommy Dean, Matt Okine, Peter Berner, Tom Ballard, Fiona O’Loughlin, Tim Ross, and The Doug Anthony Allstars).

A Kingdom Of Fools

Event Date: 16/07/2026, 07:30 pm

Sydney | July 16 | Following its sold-out Sydney season in 2025, the medieval mayhem returns!
A Kingdom of Fools is a one-act, 90-minute comedy that plunges knights, nobles, and peasants into a hilariously chaotic struggle for control of a medieval tavern.

Under orders from King John, nobleman Sir William Drakeford and his ever-blundering knight arrive in a remote village determined to bring it under royal control. Unfortunately for them, the locals have other ideas and embark on a campaign of increasingly absurd resistance.

Combining the spectacle of a richly detailed medieval world with non-stop laughs, A Kingdom of Fools is a celebration of ordinary people standing up to power in the most unexpected ways.


This is an evening of comedy not to be missed! Raise a tankard, join the fools, and prepare to laugh yourself senseless.

Where Is The Green Sheep

Event Date: 17/07/2026, 10:00 am

Sydney | July 17 | An immersive stage adaptation of the beloved children's book that uses puppetry
Monkey Baa’s hit stage adaptation of the much-loved book comes to Western Sydney and the spectacular Coliseum in Rooty Hill in the July school holidays.
Monkey Baa Theatre Company has toured the show all over Australia with sell out performances wherever it has gone. Now they are bringing Where is the Green Sheep? to families in Sydney’s West on Friday 17 and Saturday 18 July.
Where is the Green Sheep? is an immersive visual theatre experience based on the beloved book by Mem Fox & Judy Horacek, adapted for the stage and directed by Eva Di Cesare.
Audiences meet Blue Sheep who loves blue flowers and Red Sheep who cartwheels in the fields, Bath Sheep who loves bubbles and Bed Sheep who loves to bounce.
But where is that Green Sheep???
Directed and adapted by Monkey Baa’s Artistic Director Eva Di Cesare, and blending puppetry and animation, the production invites young audiences to join three farmers on a playful and surprising quest to find the elusive green sheep.
Co-created with students from Bankstown West Public School, the show integrates their voices as narrators so the world they know is reflected on stage.
As families think more about time online, many parents are seeking real-life moments that help young people feel present and connected. This production creates that space.
Young people sit with their families, watch characters appear in front of them, listen to real voices and respond in the moment. It offers an experience that cannot be replicated on a screen and creates shared memories that last.
And it’s coming to the West!

Judy Horacek, co-creator of the original book and member of the creative team, says:
“From the first tiny green sheep I drew years ago, to making the book with Mem with its beloved flock of quirky sheep, to me being part of the team bringing the book to the stage, has been an incredible experience.
