THE Mullumbimby Drill Hall Theatre is hosting a fundraiser cabaret show on Friday, March 28.<\/p>\n

A Midsummer Night’s Queen promises a glittering night of music, dance, drama, and poetry to raise funds to bring a bold new musical to life.<\/p>\n

The dazzling Australian musical reimagines Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing through a fierce and fabulous LGBTQ+ lens, filled with love, laughter, and theatrical magic.<\/p>\n

Audiences can expect high camp, chaos, and romance in a world where everyone gets their moment in the spotlight.<\/p>\n

Theatre goers can meet and mingle with the performers, including Sean Campbell & Co, Texas Hold Em (Move It Community), Max Foggon, Michael Sharmon, and many more special guests. The cast will also deliver an exclusive sneak peek performance.<\/p>\n

Proceeds from the night will go directly towards costumes, props, set design, and marketing to help the production reach its $10,000 goal.<\/p>\n
