A number of us went to see Eltham Little Theatre’s latest play, The lion, the witch and the wardrobe. An obvious challenge for the production was how to portray the animal characters, including Mr and Mrs Beaver and Aslan the lion (aka Jesus). They decided to use puppets. From a poll of some of the audience, the complex puppet used for Aslan was favourably received whilst the simple puppets used for the beavers were less so.

As you hopefully know, Eltham Little Theatre offers Nillumbik U3A members half price tickets for all of their Thursday evening and Sunday afternoon shows. It is an offer that many of us take advantage of. If you haven’t, then you should at least once during 2024. We are so confident that you will enjoy yourself that, if you don’t, then we will offer to refund your ticket!

Eltham Little Theatre’s last production for 2023 was a madcap affair based on the Cluedo board game. As you can see from the top photo, it was BYO food and drink and well attended. As you can see from the bottom photo, there were 7 candidates for the murderer.

Over the last few weeks, around 20 of our members took advantage of the half-price ticket offer to watch the One Act Plays at Eltham Little Theatre. Although Covid knocked out some of the actors for some of the plays, there was still more than enough to provide a full evening’s entertainment.

On Thursday, 20th February, and again on Thursday, 27th February, a number of our members (25 in total) took advantage of the half price ticket offer for U3A members to watch the play, The Sum of Us.
