Locals Choir Rocks provide colourful backing under the expert direction of Joanna Weinberg. Costume Design by Gavin Barbey.
Suitable for all ages, this show is a must for anybody wanting an entertaining and professional dive into recent history, from the naming of the area in 1833 through multiple changes of management like the Sydney Harbour Trust and the Maritime Workers Board to the exile of the last residents of the Sirius Building in 2018.
