Merredin You Are A Doughnut
2025-05-06 09:30 - 11:00
Book Now
From the creators of the multi-award-winning The Alphabet of Awesome Science comes a brand new biological-musical-comedy-adventure ‘You Are A Doughnut’ — that explores the ins and outs of the human digestive system.
YOU are a doughnut! It’s true! YOU are a great big fleshy lump with a remarkable hole running all the way through your middle — your digestive system.
Join biology teachers Oesoph A. Gus and Dewey Dean as they embark upon an utterly brilliant all-singing, all-dancing (and all-clowning!) exploration of every twisting tube and remarkable organ — with sketches, songs, and sensational science. Along the way you’ll encounter a frenzy of enzyme – powered ping pong balls, sing along with a rainbow collection of poop puppets, and witness the weirdest poetry performance you’ve ever seen.
It’s a fast-paced variety hour, with each new digestive destination inspiring a wonderfully unusual performance. It’s a little bit gross — and a ‘hole’ lotta fun! (You might even learn ‘Science at the Fringe Award’ something…).
Tickets $10 available in Person at Central Wheatbelt Visitor Centre or online

Beverley 21 Hearts
2025-06-14 18:00 - 21:00
Theatre 180 returns to the Beverley stage with a compelling true story of the celebration of women’s strength, love and hope in the face of adversity.
Written by Jenny Davis. Directed by Stuart Halusz. Featuring Caitlin Beresford-Ord, Rebecca Davis, Michelle Fornasier, Alex Jones, Helen Searle and Alison van Reeken.
Vivian Bullwinkel was one of 65 Australian nurses who boarded the Vyner Brooke in an attempt to flee the Japanese invasion of Singapore in February, 1942. Bombed by Japanese fighter planes and after spending days at sea, she and some other survivors found their way to Radji Beach on Banka Island where they surrendered. In one of the most atrocious acts of war crimes in our history, 22 nurses were forced to march into the sea where they were callously machine gunned. The only survivor and witness, Vivian spent the rest of the war in a prison camp before liberation, and her remaining years fighting for recognition of the bravery of her friends and colleagues.

Launching on Friday, May 9 in Darwin, Pete will journey across the Northern Territory, Victoria, Tasmania, Queensland, Victoria, New South Wales, the ACT and Western Australia for these special intimate shows, with the mammoth run ultimately concluding on Sunday, September 7 in the Blue Mountains.

His upcoming tour will be Pete’s first ever solo tour on home soil, armed with an acoustic guitar and a stunning back catalogue of hits to create his setlists from. “I’ve never done a solo tour in this country before, so it’s been on the cards for a while,” shares Pete. “I’ve done it overseas and people love it – so it’s about time I did it in my own country. There will be some storytelling of my songs, my life, and career. The shows will be very intimate.

From the 2025 Winners of the WA Fringe World Children’s Events Award comes a tender and curious exploration of identity and belonging.

Included in your ticket is a Q and A, hear directly from the performers about their experience on what it’s like to make and perform the show and why we as creatives at Flying Bicycle Collective are so passionate about the possibility of contemporary dance performance!

Merredin Diesel, By Request
2025-09-20 19:00 - 23:00 | Cummins Theatre, 31 Bates Street, Merredin, WA, 6415, Australia
Following the Bootleg Melancholy Tour, DIESEL is set to head out around the country once again with his inimitable voice, a pallet of guitars and a double bass for DIESEL, BY REQUEST.
A show where the audience plays an integral role in reaching every corner of Diesel’s 3+ decade catalogue of songs, forming the set list for the night – they decide on the song choices making for a night of music ‘requested’ by the audience.
How it works…
From a list of songs posted prior through Diesel’s socials, the audience make their song selections and provide a short comment. On the night, Diesel will then formulate his set list based on these requests, making each night a bespoke experience for both audience and performer.
Song choices to select from span from the first album Johnny Diesel & The Injectors (1989) all the way through to Bootleg Melancholy (2023) along with some eclectic cover picks from the artists that have shaped Diesel’s career.
“It’s always fascinating to me the songs that resonate with people and why. Ultimately, the process of writing and recording is a lonely experience, but it ends up being anything but that once a song is released into the world. These shows give me a chance to connect directly to that “cause and affect”, I love hearing a listener’s anecdotal account of how a song has impacted their journey” – DIESEL
With a career spanning over 3 decades, 17 albums, 100+ million streams, 6 ARIA awards and 2,000+ live shows, Diesel knows how to “bring it” to a room, and BY REQUEST is the ultimate opportunity for him to celebrate with his audience, the hours, minutes and miles that have made an enduring artist, and the soundtrack to so many of our lives.
