Self-acceptance is a journey. The end of that journey is the liquor aisle.
10) Kevin’s 2020 Vision
15th February
What: Experience this fantastical musical psychedelic adventure, travelling between dream and cosmic journey to Woodstock..and back!
Why: Niche contemporary musical theatre. Look if you’re into it, you’re into it. If you’re not, there’s no way we’re going to be able to convince you.

9) Mixed Bag of LOLs
19th February
What: Get your laughing tackle around Birdees sweet new night of non-stop laughs at Mixed Bag of LOLs. Brisbane’s funniest comedians will hit the stage for a stand-up show that will leave you crying tears of joy. Bring the tissues — LOL!
Why: Remember the pre-COVID awkwardness of being in the same room as a stand-up comedian who’s bombing on stage. Remember, also, that sick rush of sadistic pleasure you get from having that much power over someone’s self esteem.

8) Graze Lunch
20th February
What: Cloudland’s Graze is the only way to ‘lunch’ on a Saturday afternoon and it’s back for a big summer event! Step out and settle in with a grazing-style lunch menu, featuring bottomless beverages. Nestle into Cloudland’s urban oasis and indulge yourself this weekend.
Why: It says something about the non-pandemic-related consequences of living in the 21st Century that at first we thought the last sentence in the above description contained a nonsensical trademark violation of a mass slavery outfit.

6) Gin Discovery
20th February
What: Whether you’re an experienced juniper junkie or new to the world of gin, sit down and enhance your appreciation of this amazing spirit. The sessions are part background theory but predominantly practical so you can enhance your drinking experience!
Why: Nothing so effectively evokes the image of ‘enhanced appreciation’ as downing a substance that smells like an industrial paint thinner.

The Reservoir will house an exhibition of Mr Gordon Hanley’s, photo realistic, Gold Point art works. Time lapse photographs are taken and combined to create a visually moving masterpiece. These moving masterpieces will be projected on the walls of the Reservoir to create a magical backdrop for each performance. The world class cast will bring the roof down with incredible arias, duets and ensemble pieces from Opera’s most memorable moments.
