Holiday Entertainment

Steve from Taradale

Need something to do with the family in the School Holidays? "The Frivs" presents "Circus Daze". This is a musical/comedy suitable for all ages. Come along and
see this musical pantomime set in a Circus. The ‘Dirty Hand Gang” have struck and the show takings have disappeared. Bring in bumbling detectives Sheerluck Jones and his sidekick Dr Flotsum to try and
solve this case. Add in two mischievous clowns and all sorts of things happen. Funny and audience participation is encouraged. Great School Holiday entertainment for the whole family.
Shows Monday 15 April at 7pm, Tuesday 16 April at 7pm, Thursday 18 April at 7pm, Friday 19 April at 7pm. Saturday 20 April (Matinee ) at 2pm and Sunday 21 April at 11am (Matinee).

Suellen’s sweet Christmas tradition

Princess Alexandra Retirement Village

The festive season is always a great excuse to indulge your sweet tooth, and this time of year poses the perfect opportunity to bring a real showstopper to the Christmas table.

For Suellen’s family, that showstopper is Croquembouche, an impressive tower of cream puffs bound together with spun sugar that is popular at weddings in France and Italy.

What began as a birthday treat at a local French café has become a cherished Christmas tradition for Suellen and her 17-year-old twin granddaughters, Ellie and Sadie. Every year, the trio gather in Suellen’s apartment at William Sanders Village to cook this festive dessert - a holiday highlight they all treasure.
