A mixture of comedy and live music is on its way to Hobsons Bay, as part of Hobsons Bay council’s Arts at your Doorstep program.
Events on the program include Sounds of Silent presenting Steamboat Bill Jr on Thursday, May 18 and The General on Thursday, August 3.
The Sounds of Silent is a five-piece band that recreates the experience of the silent movie era when many bands performed in Melbourne theatres to accompany the films.
Returning to Hobsons Bay after a sell-out performance in 2022 at the Altona Theatre, ARIA nominated soul-rhythm combo Emma Donovan and The Putbacks will take the stage at the Williamstown Town Hall to celebrate their seventh year together on Friday, July 14.
Other performances include Goddesses of Jazz on Wednesday, September 13, Whalebone on Wednesday, September 27 and Double Feature by Damian Callinan on Thursday, October 19.
Hobsons Bay mayor Tony Briffa said she encourages all residents to take advantage of the diverse program of events on offer.
“Arts at your Doorstep is all about making sure everyone in Hobsons Bay can experience great theatre,” she said.
“We want people in the west to be able to see some of Australia’s best performers without having to travel to the city or beyond.
“I encourage our community to make a night of it with dinner or drinks at one of our many fantastic local venues.”
