GV Pride goes to "My Fair Lady" | Sat 5 July @ 7.30pm
Shepparton Theatre Arts Group invites you to
book and book early for its 2014 musical, My Fair
Lady starring the ABC's popular breakfast radio
host, Matt Dowling as Professor Henry Higgins
and multi Georgy Award winner, Nicky
Pummeroy as Eliza Doolittle.
Hear the brilliant, witty, timeless score of Lerner
and Loewe with hits such as Wouldn't It Be
Loverly, On The Street Where You Live and Get Me To The Church On Time performed by the
talented cast and ensemble of more than 40 and a first class orchestra of the Goulburn Valley's finest
musicians.
Be amazed by the dazzling costumes and sets as Eliza is transformed from a gutter snipe to the fairest
lady of them all, and marvel at the hilarious, joyous romp as Alfred P Doolittle does his best to take
advantage of his daughter's sudden good fortune.
Don't miss this theatrical masterpiece, which has been hailed the greatest musical of all time.
My Fair Lady will be staged at WestSide Performing Arts Centre, Mooroopna for eight performances,
(including three matinees) from 4 - 12 July. Bookings open Monday 5 May.

Valentine Road Film Screening fundraiser | Shepparton | Thu 21 Aug @ 7pm
Join us for this movie fundraiser - all funds raised support
OUTintheOPEN Festival, Greater Shepparton's newest festival
celebrating community diversity (14-16 Nov 2014)
Film Synopsis: At the height of the bullying scandal that
rocked the U.S. in 2008, a 15-year-old boy named Larry King
asked another boy to be his valentine in a suburban schoolyard
in California. The next day Larry was dead, shot in cold blood
by his 14-year-old crush Brandon McInerney. At turns
shocking, devastating, and outrageous, VALENTINE ROAD
bores deeply into the homophobia, sexism, racism, and class-struggle that inform everyday American
life—and reveals an American justice system that is utterly unprepared to deal with the realities of
teenage crime and punishment. Directed by first-time feature documentarian Marta Cunningham,
VALENTINE ROAD is an unforgettable exposé of society’s pervasive and deadly intolerance of
young people who don’t conform to its gender “norms.” World premiered at Sundance 2013, this film
will both break your heart and fire you up into action. View trailer @
