A BETTER YOU
11th JULY - 20th JULY | BANKSTOWN ARTS CENTRE
|
Directed by Arthur Pickering DETAILS HERE Set in an idyllic NSW town, five ladies from differing backgrounds, professions and views on life, arrive at the local Girl Guide’s Hall for a self improvement class. The session gets off to a hilarious but shaky start when the five ladies lock horns with the rigid and up-tight convenor. It is no surprise when personalities clash, tempers erupt and all hell breaks loose. As the class dissolves into chaos and mayhem, a body is revealed and the question becomes "what to do with it and who is to blame?". It is even more amusing when a highly strung, strong willed woman and her brow beaten husband arrive to further complicate matters. This farcical romp rockets along and guarantees barrels of side splitting laughs. A BETTER YOU is fun filled entertainment and is suitable for the whole family . A BETTER YOU - A Crazy New Comedy BY MARK C. BOURNE #abetteryouBTC |

Sophie doesn’t know who he is! Her mother Donna, the former lead singer of the 1970s pop group Donna and the Dynamos, refuses to talk about the past, so Sophie decides to take matters into her own hands. Sneaking a peek in her mother’s old diaries, she discovers three possible fathers: Sam, Bill, and Harry. She secretly invites all three to the wedding, convinced that she’ll know her father when she sees him. But when all three turn up, it may not be as clear as she thought! Told through the legendary music of ABBA, Mamma Mia! has become a worldwide sensation that has audiences everywhere dancing.

BTC celebrate 75 Year Anniversary!
plus special message from Patrons, HUMAN NATURE
On Friday 1st November 2024, following opening night of Sweeney Todd, BTC celebrated their 75th Anniversary. We were delighted with the amount of familiar faces, members (past and present) and new friends that came to honour our incredible milestone.
With glasses of champagne, a delicious cake and MORE HOT PIES, we shared stories of our times at BTC both on and off stage. Our current president, Brett Crispin, delivered a lovely speech and we were treated to a very special message from our Patrons, Human Nature. Our longest serving life members present on the night, Greg Crease, Diane Wilson and Ron Derley cut the cake, marking the historical event.
We are grateful to all who have supported Bankstown Theatre Company (previously Bankstown Theatrical Society) over the past 75 years and look forward to the next 75!
