ZEBRA BLINDS as seen on ‘THE BLOCK’
Kooks and spooks: The Tomb Family will gather at Mt Eliza Community Centre later this month.
Tombs that go bump in the night THEY’RE creepy and they’re kooky, mysterious and spooky, they’re all together ooky … but they’re not the Addams Family. Frankston Theatre Group has its own family house of horrors to spotlight later this month. Its ‘Tiptoe Through The Tombstones’ play will hit the stage at Mt Eliza Community Centre in the last week of November and first week of December. The comedy chiller spoof features a crusty lawyer and his secretary encountering the Tomb Family, “an offbeat bunch” whose home features cobwebs, secret corridors and a rising number of bodies in the cellar. Play director Joyce Sedunary said she was looking forward to bringing the play, written by Norman Robbins, to life. “I think’s it’s a really quirky piece. I do liken it a little bit to the Addams Family – the Tomb Family are kind of along those lines,” she said.

“It does have a lovely kooky feel to it and our wonderful set designer Dave Wearne has been fantastic and he’s really captured the vision.” Ms Sedunary said it had taken about three months to assemble the “fun” cast and get everyone together at the same times for rehearsals before the opening fright night. “Audiences can expect something that’s a little bit left of centre and a lot of fun and filled with humour and a bit of a murder-mystery.” n Tiptoe Through The Tombstones will be performed at Mt Eliza Community Centre, Canadian Bay Road, Mt Eliza on Friday 20, Saturday 21 November, 8pm and Friday 27, Saturday 28 November, 8pm and Friday 4, Saturday 5 December, 8pm. Matinees on Sunday 29 November, Sunday 6 December, 2pm. See frankstontheatregroup.org.au for admission prices or call 1300 665 377.

Jazz on the park with James JAZZ virtuoso James Morrison will again headline next Sunday’s Proudly Frankston’s annual Long Lazy Lunch, this time under the big top on Frankston Park oval. The world acclaimed musician and composer, who played with legendary performers Dizzy Gillespie, Ray Charles, Don Burrows and BB King, will bring along his JM Academy Band to join Frankston High School’s Stage Band. For the past two years Morrison, performing with Frankston High students, has brought audiences to their feet with trumpet and sax renditions of jazz classics and his own compositions. Tickets are still available for the South East Water-sponsored feast of music, food and wine that supports Frankston charities. Book online at
www.thefac@frankston.vic.gov.au Proudly Frankston president Alan Wickes said the emphasis of this year’s event was supporting youth and community pride and harmony. The lunch features Tuscan-style food by peninsula-based Wise Choice Catering plus Baillieu wines from Merricks General Store and Massoni wines from the Pyrenees region of central Victoria. The event also supports music education in Frankston and peninsula schools. Morrison and his academy band will remain in Frankston the day after Sunday’s (22 November) concert to run a workshop for district secondary school students. Tony Murrell
