105 - Arty Farty Adelaide

Adelaide has a solid arts scene. Our guests tonight have cut their teeth here and now produce theatre that impresses the world. Andy Packer from Slingsby and Chris Drummond from Brink Productions take us through a story of sweat and tears to facepaint and spotlights and finally to the doom of unprecedented arts funding cuts (this last topic has been held back for a sealed section coming out on the weekend). Most importantly, we learn about the many ways the arts support our community, directly and indirectly. Our SA Drink of the week is courtesy of Coopers - the iconic stout fuelled Chris and Andy in their early days of creativity at La Mama Theatre. In IS IT NEWS, Nigel tests us on the theme, Theatre. George Inglis merges health funding with the arts. We tip our hat to sponsor, Audible. You can get a free audio book by going to audible.com.au/adelaide. We explain it in the first part of the show. In music, we hear a song written for a Brink Productions play, When The Rain Stops Falling. In the Made To Move Minute, Myth Busting - No pain The Ultimate Gain? In the Adelaide Visa Council, a defendant from last week returns for a reversal. But first, David Washington from In Daily presents his midweek news wrap, Talk Of The Town.Support the show: https://theadelaideshow.com.au/listen-or-download-the-podcast/adelaide-in-crowd/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
