SATURDAY, AUGUST 4 - 8 PM Inspired by a hot flush and a bottle of wine, Jeanie Linders created Menopause the Musical as a celebration of women who are on the brink of, in the middle of, or have survived ‘The Change’. Since its first performance, the show has evolved as a ‘grassroots’ movement of women who deal with life after 40 and all the challenges they conquer mentally, physically and spiritually. Do you think that 500,000 Australian women could be wrong? We don’t think so. After all, that is how many have seen this hilarious show over the last two and a half years. And they love it! So much so, many of the audience members have come back again to join with their sisters in this 90 minute, one act laugh-a-thon! The performance will be held at Barossa Arts and Convention Centre, August 4 at 8p.m. 2018 BAROSSA WINE SHOW SEPTEMBER 10 - 14 The annual Barossa Wine Show which was first held in 1977, is seen as a showpiece of the region’s best wines in any given year.
