The senior women of Knapeley Village, England bring new meaning to Girls' Night Out when they decide to pose nude for a calendar to raise money for a new settee for the local hospital waiting room.  Anarchy ensues when the "Calendar Girls" defy their church's conservative fundraising protocol and spice it up with the amateur photographic help from the hospital porter.

If you've had enough of the holiday cheer and are in desperate need of a chaotic romp, you could do a whole lot worse than Pointless Theatre's whimsical production of Alfred Jarry's anarchic satire, King Ubu. Decked out in costumer Ivania Stack's fuzzy, teddy-bear pajamas, the cast crackles with the energy of the cocky, petulant high-schooler that Jarry once was. The result is a 2-hour tour of Shakespeare as interpreted by a drug-addled adolescent.

The creative team that spun theatrical gold with the Helpmann Awardwinning Pinocchio in Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and New York reunite with Rumpelstiltskin, starring multi-award-winning actor and singer Paul Capsis.

The Strand Theater Company proudly presents the inaugural production of its 2014 season, One Glitz Wish, by Kristin Harrison. A mash up of Commedia Dell'Arte, cabaret, and drag, One Glitz Wish is a hilarious evening of glamour and decadence that explodes the question of what it means to be a 'little girl.' One Glitz Wish, which opens June 1, is the first Strand production under the leadership of the new Artistic Director, Elissa Goetschius.

The Adelaide Critics Circle has announced the shortlist for its 2013 annual awards.

Although Capital Fringe's FallFRINGE welcomes back several shows that proved popular with summer audiences, it also gives Fringegoers a chance to see some new selections. Two of these new selections, Keegan Cassady's The Immortal Jellyfish with direction by Kristen Pilgrim, and Sheldon Scott's solo piece Shrimp and Griots with direction by Nancy Camp, tackle issues that are likely to resonate well with the socially-conscious theatergoing community in our fair city. Although both budding writers should be commended for taking a chance and putting their work out there, one show unfortunately shows much more promise than the other.

Windmill Theatre today released its season for 2014 which includes three major works as part of the Adelaide Festival.

Some of the best and brightest of South Australia's arts and cultural professionals have been recognised at the 2013 Ruby Awards.

There would be few people who have not heard the story of Little Red Riding Hood, a cautionary tale warning of what we now refer to as "stranger danger" and, let's face it, they don't come much stranger than a talking wolf.
