STUDENTS from The Riverina Anglican College will be reviving styles of entertainment from years gone by in their latest production, TRAC Winding Back.
The show is a celebration of vaudeville and Broadway and opens tonight at the Riverina Playhouse.
More than 20 separate acts and about 100 students are set to take the stage, including singers, dancers, acrobats, clowns, jugglers and many more talents.
Vaudeville was a popular form of entertainment in the United States between the 1890s and the 1930s, and lasted into the 1960s in Australia through the agricultural show and Tivoli circuits.
The variety format was also a key feature of Australian radio and early television.
TRAC Winding Back features plenty of acts with a vaudeville flavour and songs from the era, as well as accompanying dance in 1930s, jazz or chorus-line style.
No vaudeville show
is complete without comedy, mime and clowning, so there will be something in the production to
keep every audience member entertained.
TRAC Winding Back is a celebration of an important entertainment tradition.
Tickets are $5 each, available from the school office.
Shows are tonight at 7pm, a matinee tomorrow at 1pm and a final performance tomorrow night at 7pm.
