Hobsons Bay council is bringing back ‘Arts at your Doorstep’, a new 2024 program of live performances.

Council said this year’s program features an eclectic mix of shows and performances. Shows will include cabaret, theatre, live music, cinema, children’s shows and tribute acts.

Among the highlights of the 2024 season are Greece Lightning Garry Starr at the Williamstown Town Hall on Thursday, July 4.

The show is described as an overzealous idiot attempting to perform all Greek mythology to save his Hellenic homeland from economic ruin.

Lamine Sonko and Pirritu will shown at the Altona Theatre on Friday, August 16, where composer, director and multi-instrumentalist Lamine Sonko will joins Ngiyampaa singer-songwriter Pirritu for a double-bill performance.

Garage Girls is described as part history, part farce, part who-done-it, a performance which will shine a light on one young woman’s short but eventful life. Catch it at the Williamstown Town Hall on Thursday, July 25.

The full program features 10 shows at Altona Theatre, Williamstown Town Hall and Old Laverton School.

Hobsons Bay mayor Matt Tyler said council wants to make sure everyone in Hobsons Bay has access to great performing art close to home.

“Arts at your Doorstep brings terrific shows to three of our standout venues. This is great for locals and a fantastic opportunity to bring more visitors into Hobsons Bay.”
