Berninneit will soon celebrate its first birthday on November 1.
This beautiful space that was created for the community will showcase a range of community arts for the week.
Kicking off the celebrations we are proud to host local award-winning theatre group Offshore Theatre who are presenting an exclusive preview of a brilliant piece of theatre “My Sister Jill” recently presented by the Melbourne Theatre Company.
My Sister Jill is Patricia Cornelius’ latest play with a semi-autobiographical storyline of Christine who idolises her father and is fascinated by his wartime experiences. The rest of the family do not share these sentiments.
“Patricia Cornelius is one of Australia’s most significant theatre voices. Her semi-autobiographical My Sister Jill is a story for us and about us.” Artsreview.com.au
Tickets are available at a subsidised birthday rate of $15 and guests will receive a complimentary drink at the bar and celebratory nibbles.
Further celebrations are also happening including the creative ASPIR group who will be exhibiting in the community spaces.
“This is a really exciting celebration for Berninneit and for the residents of Cowes and surrounding areas. We have had many thousands of people enjoy the shows and cinema here since it began as well as exhibitions, art galleries, community activations and of course the beautiful MYLI library and historical museum. We are all really proud of the reviews that have been received and all the great work that everyone has put into this activating this space” said Greg Box, CEO, Bass Coast Shire Council.
“It is great that we can enjoy this first year with one of our local community theatre groups leading the celebrations and amplify the great work that all the artists involved are doing. I am sure this will bring great pride to all involved” he said.
