All that’s art on show

The Noosa Long Weekend – 10 days of culture, arts, literature, forums, food and fun – will kick off tomorrow night with a program sure to impress.
Designed to highlight and celebrate the arts, the Noosa Long Weekend is now in its 13th year, and what better way to start the cultural celebrations than with a Carnevale street performance down Hastings Street, from 6pm tomorrow night.
The Noosa Arts Theatre and The J will also host theatre performances tomorrow night, to get the festival off to a roaring start.
Forbidden Broadway at The J, from 7.30pm, toasts and roasts the best musicals and brightest stars in a night to delight both those who love show tunes, and those who loathe them.
The One Act Play Festival will be underway at the Noosa Arts Theatre, from 7.30pm, with three unique plays taking to the stage to compete for the Best Play Award.
The festival will also feature some big-name acts including comedian Fiona O’Loughlin who will perform at The J, Saturday night, from 8pm, and cabaret star, Rhonda Burchmore, who will turn on her “red, hot and saucy” show over a two-course meal at Berardos Restaurant and Bar, 24 and 25 July, from 8.30pm.
This is a festival not to miss, with ballet, insightful forums, musical theatre, comedy, food and street performances on offer. There is something for everyone at the Noosa Long Weekend Festival.
