Don’t let the pigeon drive the bus @ Jacksons Lane
Feb 15 @ 12:00 pm – 5:00 pm

A lively show full of fun, feathers, laughter and excitement and features original music and lots of audience participation!

The friendly bus driver leaves us with one simple instruction: “Don’t let the pigeon drive the bus!” However, the Pigeon is very clever and whines, bribes, pleads and even sings a song to get his own way… BUT WILL YOU LET HIM DRIVE?

Recommended for ages 3 and above.

Mama’s Kitchen – Layla Rosa @ Jacksons Lane
Jul 22 @ 8:00 pm – 9:15 pm

Mama’s Kitchen is a place for experimentation and curious concoctions, serving up a menu of pioneering performance.

The brainchild of Shunt artist Layla Rosa and curated especially for Postcards, expect circus artists, theatre makers, musicians, visual artists and a whole heap of other exciting performances that we’re not entirely sure about just yet.

But if previous outings at The Shunt Lounge are anything to go by, Mama’s Kitchen will be unexpected and hugely memorable.
