Excitement levels were high last night at the annual Potato Shed Season Programmelaunch. The 2022 season features productions postponed from 2021 including Margaret Fulton: the Musical; Dahlin! It’s the Jeanne Little Show, Mother & Son and REBEL, a high octane, live circus theatrical tour de force, inspired by the genius of David Bowie.
Usually held the first Wednesday in December, the uncertainty around COVID shifted the popular annual reveal to early February.
The season features all the elements that the Shed is famous for: music, storytelling, comedy, drama, captivating circus and extravagant cabaret.
