Set in 1975 during the final days leading up to the American evacuation of Saigon, Miss Saigon is an epic love story about the relationship between an American GI and a young Vietnamese woman.
The Ghost Writer - Developed under MTC's Hard Lines Program, Ross Mueller's The Ghost Writer is a story about stories, the lies we tell ourselves and the truths we daren't tell anyone. It's on at the Arts Centre until April 21st. Everyone has a story to tell, provided they have the right words to tell it. Brihanna (Margaret Harvey) can talk a blue streak, but writing has never been her thing. Best to leave that to Claudia (Belinda McClory), who has the class and literary skills to give a chaotic, violent story the texture of true tragedy. But what if the ghost writer has her own ghosts to exorcise, or only wants to stir up old ghosts?

Art & Craft Markets Fetes and Fairs
Grab a bargain at one of Melbourne's excellent markets, fetes and fairs. An increasing number of food and produce markets including wine are popping up around the suburbs. And don't forget garage sales.
With a world groove fusion of didgeridoo, trumpet, percussion, guitar, bass and electronica, this Melbourne band will make you dance one minute and chill out the next, this Sunday 12 - 2 pm.
We make it easy for you to find Melbourne's hidden and secret bars. Many new bars and nightclubs have opened recently and some even have free internet access where you might find some of the OnlyMelbourne staff working away.
This Saturday at Bar Altitude is Dirty Disco a night geared to a cheeky-but- friendly, up-for-it crowd, combining sexy, dirty house music in an intimate & comfortable environment.
It's a Saturday night party that will enforce a strict but fair membership base aimed at attracting a large female clientele who'll be provided with a safe and fun place to be each and every week.
Dirty Disco is what Our city's scene has been missing! A place where you can go to express yourself without the hassles or worries you might be subjected to at other venues. Clubbing is, and always has been, about escapism, freedom and enjoyment. Going out in Melbourne has been getting too serious over the past few years; Dirty Disco is all about putting the FUN back in to going out again!
