Garage Girls on the way

10/7/2025

0 Comments

 
The Charlton Neighbourhood House in conjunction with Regional Arts Victoria, is proud to present a fantastic night of entertainment with the live production of Garage Girls: A night of storytelling magic with five actors playing many colourful characters.
Meet Alice Anderson. Mechanic. Trailblazer. Entrepreneur. She’s the girl who knows her way around a Hups, Dodge and Austin better than anyone.
Imagine… it’s the 1920’s! Society reels from the aftermath of war and a second wave of Spanish flu wreaks havoc on the streets. Women’s fashion sets startling trends and the city hums with the music of the motorcar. One small woman defies convention and makes her mark.
Inspired by Alice Anderson’s short but eventful life, Garage Girls will take you from Melbourne’s mysterious underbelly to the remote deserts of Alice Springs. An energetic and fast-paced 70 minute theatrical romp, showcasing dynamic sound design – Garage Girls is a rollicking ride celebrating an Australian icon. Welcome to Miss Anderson’s All Girl Garage!
Book your tickets now for this amazing show at the Rex Theatre on Friday August 22 at 7pm. Tickets available via Humanatix or by calling the Charlton Neighbourhood House on 0473 759 456.

This is one not to miss!

Passion of Saint Nicholas

​The Charlton Neighbourhood House in conjunction with Regional Arts Victoria is proud to be presenting a live production of Passion of Saint Nicholas. This is a fantastic tale about following your heart and keeping the band together when you lose your biggest cheerleader.
Ever since the 1991 St John’s College, Dandenong, Talent Quest, Geraldine and her brother Nick shared a passion for music. But he got a “normal job”, and she went into musical comedy. Could things get worse? Spoiler: they did…
The Passion of Saint Nicholas takes the audience on a journey through growing up in a huge family in Wagga Wagga, being arty kids in a sporty school and shared sibling dreams of a music career. Packed with original music, and with a profound message of moving forward with love and loss in your heart, ‘Saint Nicholas’ moves audiences to tears of sadness and joy all at once.
The Passion of Saint Nicholas will be held on Friday July 4th at 7pm at the historic Rex Theatre. Tickets available via Humanatix or call the Charlton Neighbourhood House on 0473 759 456.

A very successful event was held by the Charlton Neigbourhood House where locals were able to enjoy a wonderful afternoon at The Vale of Avoca. With live music in the background, attendees were provided with all the necessary supplies to let their creative talent come to the fore. Best of all was the delicious food on offer from hosts Carmel and Benno and enjoying drinks during the day.  This was a great opportunity for friends to reconnect and new relationships to be formed.

Greek feast

31/3/2025

​The Charlton Neighbourhood House had a fantastic response to its latest ‘Table for 12’ evening featuring delicious Greek fare. Hosted by local Deb Clearly, a full house of enthusiastic attendees were initiated into the flavoursome cooking of Greece with Meatballs (Keftedes) and an accompanying dessert Baklava.
A special thanks to Charlon College for use of the well-equipped North Central Trade Training Centre’s kitchen facility, without whose support events like this couldn’t take place. All those attended agreed it was a terrific fun evening and requests for more cooking classes were received. Keep an eye out for future Table for 12’s and other activities coming soon from the Neighbourhood House.”
