Tonight, my musical “Erratically Epic” opens, based on the book by the brilliant Adam Wallace, and we’re sold out! It’s been a long journey for this show: after COVID shut it down twice!

The students here at St Peter’s East Bentleigh have worked so hard all year to bring this crazy, chaotic and epic adventure to life, and I’m so proud of them. So, here goes. Let’s get EPIC!
