VIXEN
Combining the art forms of dance, cabaret, burlesque, drag and circus, VIXEN is a captivating artistry of movement, song and raw emotion. Immerse yourself in a mesmerising journey through the ages. Celebrate the captivating women and feminine forces of mythology who embody both the light and the darkness within, in Embracing The Divine and The Monstrous – from goddesses with the power to create galaxies to creatures of the night with a taste for chaos. VIXEN is an experience that will awaken senses and challenge perceptions, at Dance Art Etc at Nambour on Saturday, November 4, and Sunday, November 5. More details via StickyTickets.
Production House Comedy Club
Held monthly at Moffat Beach Brewing Co’s Production House bar and kitchen in Caloundra, this month’s Comedy Club is headlined by Irish comedy madman John Lynn, star of the Edinburgh Fringe and a regular at all the UK’s best comedy clubs. He is supported by Jacqueline Mifsud, a unique crusher from the Melbourne scene; the intelligent social analysis of Brisbane’s Shayne Hunter; and, all the way from Malaysia, the delightfully dirty Hannah Azlan. The event will be held on Wednesday, November 22. More details via Eventbrite.
Summer of the Seventeeth Doll
Noosa Arts Theatre is proud to present this highly anticipated production of a true Australian classic. Beautifully crafted and unmissable, Summer of the Seventeenth Doll is a pioneering Australian play written by Ray Lawler and unanimously considered to be among the most historically significant in Australian theatre history, openly and authentically portraying distinctly Australian life and characters. Lawler’s much-loved tale of Queensland cane cutters and Melbourne barmaids has endured the test of time. More details via Noosa Arts Theatre.

In this extended Cairncross Conversation, the Queensland Museum research team will discuss the findings with the community, at Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve at Maleny on Friday, November 3.
