WHAT’S VIBIN’: Centre stage this march at the Jetty Memorial Theatre

MARCH at the City of Coffs Harbour’s Jetty Memorial Theatre is packed with live performance, spanning music, theatre, comedy and cabaret right across the month.

Among the many events on the program, the midmonth weekend of 13 to 15 March stands out as a particularly vibrant showcase, delivering three distinct and compelling experiences in just three days.

On Friday 13 March the Eishan Ensemble bring Northern Rhapsody to the stage, an arresting fusion of Persian chamber jazz and Western classical influence.

Led by ARIA nominated tar virtuoso Hamed Sadeghi, the Sydney based ensemble has performed at major festivals and venues from WOMAD to the Sydney Opera House.

Virtuoso Sadeghi is joined by the individual talents of Michael Avgenicos on saxophone, Adem Yilmaz on percussion and Maximillian Alduca on double bass to create the layered and sophisticated soundscapes of Eishan.

On Saturday, the focus shifts to storytelling with Logie winning actor Rob Carlton’s new solo show, Virgin in a Knife Fight.

Known for his screen roles in The White Lotus and Boy Swallows Universe, Carlton has also earned multiple theatre awards for his stage work.

This latest production brings four true tales to life, moving from youthful misadventure in Salzburg to courtroom chaos and a deeply personal reflection on fatherhood.

Expect sharp humour, emotional honesty and finely honed timing.

A Sunday matinee closes the trio with What’s New Pussycat, a joyous celebration of the swinging sixties starring cabaret favourites Melissa Langton and Mark Jones.

With powerhouse vocals and infectious chemistry, the award-winning duo perform hits by Tom Jones, Burt Bacharach, Aretha Franklin and more.

As part of Seniors Week, a special $40 ticket offer is available for anyone with a valid seniors ID, making this feel-good afternoon of music even more accessible.
