Almost 500 Year 7-9 schoolchildren packed into the Kingaroy Town Hall on Tuesday to be transported back to Gallipoli.
“Gallipoli – A Manual Of Trench Warfare” tells the story of two Diggers in the trenches – with the Turks just 200m away.
There are mortar blasts and bullets whizzing – mixed with a fair bit of humour as well.
The South Burnett Regional Council secured funding through the Queensland Anzac Centenary Grants Program to bring Jally Entertainment’s highly realistic production to Kingaroy.
Today’s matinee performance was just for the schoolkids – and they had the opportunity to speak to the actors afterwards.
Adults get their opportunity to enjoy the live production this evening.
Doors open at 6:45pm for a 7:30pm start.
Cost is $30 (adult) or $25 (concession) and tickets will be on sale at the door.

Great show last night. Congratulations and well done to the performers and to the sponsors of the event bringing a production of this standard to our area. Hopefully, the next time an event of this calibre comes to Kingaroy more locals will support it.
