Hello, Snowy Valleys Live Theatre Show back on in Batlow
Published on 15 February 2022
You’re invited to celebrate the people of the Snowy Valleys!
Hello, Snowy Valleys! is a live show about the Snowy Valleys featuring stories written and performed by the people who live here.
The show has been put together by award-winning playwright Hannie Rayson (Hotel Sorrento), ABC Radio’s Michael Cathcart, and the residents of the Snowy Valleys, with support of the Snowy Valleys Council.
“Hello, Snowy Valleys! is a delightful and entertaining live show in which twenty local people share true stories about their lives,” said Hannie Rayson.
“From Tumbarumba to Tumut, Batlow and Adelong, this is a theatrical portrait of life in this country as told by those who call the Snowy Valleys home.
“Funny stories. Tragic stories. Stories of romance. And tales of courage.”
Hannie and Michael spent the winter of 2021 living in Batlow and meeting people across the length of the Snowy Valleys.
Working with these people, they made a live show which was scheduled for August 2021 but was delayed due to COVID.
Now, at last, it’s here!
There will be three performances at the Batlow Literary Institute over the 18 and 19 March 2022.
“We are putting on three shows across the Friday and Saturday and any August 2021 ticketholders can redeem their tickets for one of the new dates,” Ms Rayson said.
“We’ve had to wait quite a while to finally present the Hello, Snowy Valleys! show and we are so excited to see you all there!”
On Friday 18 and Saturday the 19 of March 2022, ticket holders will enjoy local stories and songs about the high times enjoyed by the Land Army Girls during WW2; the impact of bush fire; the joys of spraying grapes by moonlight in Tumbarumba; memories of the Sugar Pines; good times and bad at the Batlow cannery; and drama in the Tumut IGA.
Tickets for the shows are now on sale via Council’s website www.svc.nsw.gov.au/hello-snowy-valleys
