Hall offers variety

Wagstaffe Hall will be the venue for a stand-up comedy act and a concert of classical arias in coming weeks.

Killcare Heights resident Bernie Sheehan will perform her stand-up comedy act on Saturday, June 23, at 8pm.

Ms Sheehan said that her training as a public speaker has prepared her well for the role as a stand-up comic.

Ms Sheehan has performed at one of Sydney's houses of comedy, Kinsella's.

Admission costs are $12 for adults and $8 for students, seniors, and pensioners.

Lucy Bailes in Concert will be held on Sunday, July 8, at 2.30 pm.

Ms Bailes, a 22-year-old Central Coast soprano, was awarded overseas places at the prestigious Royal College of Music and the Guildhall School of Music and Drama.

She plans to accept the Guildhall offer.

Ms Bailes said the costs for overseas students attending these schools were substantial and the proceeds from the concert will help her meet them.

The concert will include arias from Handel's The Messiah and Alcina and Beethoven's Fidelio.

Admission costs are $15 for adults, $12 for Bouddi Society members and $5 for schoolchildren.
