Play returns to radio days THE golden age of cinema and radio is making its return in a production of a classic radio play hitting the stage at Kingston City Hall. The Mystery of a Hansom Cab is set in the 18th century St Kilda mansion of the exclusive Melbourne Club, the criminal haunts of Little Bourke St and a horse drawn hansom cab. Kingston City organist Scott Harrison will play City Hall’s Wurlitzer theatre organ before Lux Radio Theatre’s acclaimed production of The Mystery of a Hansom Cab.
Featuring acclaimed actors James Wright, Simon Russell (We Will Rock You), Lucy Gransbury (Godspell) and directed by Don MacKay, The Mystery of a Hansom Cab will delight and intrigue with its unexpected plot twists and colourful references to late 19th century Victoria. n The Mystery of the Hamsom Cab will be staged at Kingston City Hall, 979-985 Nepean Highway, Moorabbin on Thursday 1 October, 1pm. See kingstonarts.com.au or call 9556 4440 for further details. Entry $20 per person, $15 for seniors.
NOMINATIONS are now open for the 2018 Citizen of the Year Awards, which honour outstanding achievements of individuals and community groups in Kingston. Kingston mayor Cr David Eden said there were plenty of people who deserve to be thanked for making a significant contribution to the community. “These awards are a great chance to celebrate and acknowledge the many residents who tirelessly volunteer their time and effort to make Kingston a stronger and more connected community,” Cr Eden said. “They highlight the strong sense of community spirit in Kingston, and show the high calibre of people we are fortunate to have contributing to our great city”. The awards are open to Australian citizens who either live, work or study within the City of Kingston, and are presented in the categories of Citizen of the Year and Community Group of the Year. Nominations for the Awards close Friday 10 November. All nominees will be honoured at a community function held later
this year. Winners of the awards are announced at the annual Australia Day Breakfast on 26 January next year. See selection criteria and nomination forms at kingston.vic.gov.au/australiaday or call Kingston Council on 1300 653 356.
