The Mount Players second show for 2026, Mr Bailey’s Minder, a dramatic comedy by Debra Oswald, opens Friday, May 8 and runs to May 24.

Abusive, cantankerous and burned out by booze, Leo Bailey is one of Australia’s national treasures. A gifted painter and chronic alcoholic, he can no longer take care of himself. His resentful daughter, Margo, has been through a succession of minders, until Therese comes along, fresh out of jail and determined to make a go of her limited options. It’s a tough, funny, big hearted play.
Tickets: www.themountplayers.com or call 0419 329 052.
* Auditions for the August musical After-Light are on Saturday, May 16 and Thursday, May 21 at the Mountview Theatre, Macedon. Singers, dancers and musicians are needed.
