Adelaide has a solid arts scene.
Our guests tonight have cut their teeth here and now produce theatre that impresses the world.
Andy Packer from Slingsby and Chris Drummond from Brink Productions take us through a story of sweat and tears to facepaint and spotlights and finally to the doom of unprecedented arts funding cuts (this last topic has been held back for a sealed section coming out on the weekend).
Most importantly, we learn about the many ways the arts support our community, directly and indirectly.
Our SA Drink of the week is courtesy of Coopers – the iconic stout fuelled Chris and Andy in their early days of creativity at La Mama Theatre.
In IS IT NEWS, Nigel tests us on the theme, Theatre.
George Inglis merges health funding with the arts.
We tip our hat to sponsor, Audible. You can get a free audio book by going to audible.com.au/adelaide. We explain it in the first part of the show.
In music, we hear a song written for a Brink Productions play, When The Rain Stops Falling.
In the Made To Move Minute, Myth Busting – No pain The Ultimate Gain?
In the Adelaide Visa Council, a defendant from last week returns for a reversal.
But first, David Washington from In Daily presents his midweek news wrap, Talk Of The Town.

| 00:21:37 | Andy Packer and Chris Drummond |
| Two hard working, leading lights of the South Australian arts sector join us tonight. Andy Packer from Slingsby and Chris Drummond from Brink Productions. I (Steve) trod the boards with these boys at La Mama Theatre back in the 1980s and 1990s and then left theatre while these two dug in deep for the long haul. They are the authentic exponents of what the arts sector is all about – they have vision, they pursue it, they bring others along with them, they seek some support along the way, BUT they give back many times over by creating a layer of culture that civilisation NEEDS to help it remain civil. | |
