Ballet: Pinocchio Soon-to-depart artistic director of the West Australian Ballet, Ivan Cavallari, presents his own choreography of this classic story of the puppet who becomes a real boy and son to the master wood-carver Geppetto. And what a swan song it will be. Charming, heartwarming and totally entertaining, this ballet will enthral young and old alike and the sets by Edoardo Sanchi will make it a night to remember. His Majesty’s Theatre, season starts September 15
Theatre: Boy Gets Girl Journalist Theresa goes on a blind date with computer nerd Tony and while there were no sparks it was a pleasant enough experience but not pleasant enough to repeat. But rather being the end of the story, it’s just the beginning in this tight, taut thriller. This great cast including Alison van Reeken, Steve Turner and Myles Pollard will have you on the edge of your seat. Heath Ledger Theatre, season starts September 15
Some of the opera world’s most prized gems are to be found in this great Puccini opera. Nothing beats it for high drama as the fleckless American naval officer Pinkerton abandons the exquisite Butterfly, heartbroken and pregnant, and it contains some of the most beautiful music in the repertoire. Soprano Kelly Kaduce is in the title role for WA Opera. His Majesty’s Theatre, season starts October 23
This film is a heavy hitter – it’s won the Camera d’Or at Cannes and the Sundance grand jury prize and it has a slip of a girl as its hero. Six-year-old Hushpuppy (Quvenzhané Wallis) goes in search of her mother when faced with the declining health of her father and a world that looks as if it’s coming to an end. In Cinemas September 13

Movie: Beasts of the Southern Wild
The very happy wine winner of the Churchview Doctor’s Dozen is Dr Ben Clark. The infectious diseases physician is most definitely a ‘red’ man and loves the rich, robust wines from South-West WA. And pretty soon he’ll have a very good reason to open a bottle or two. Ben intends to leap out of a perfectly good aeroplane courtesy of a 40th birthday present. Thank goodness for parachutes and screw-caps. The latter are so much easier to remove when your hands are shaking.

Musical Theatre: Pirates of Penzance This much-loved Gilbert & Sullivan operetta gets a radical makeover at the hands of British theatre director Sasha Regan for an all-male hilarious romp on the high seas.

Young lovers Mabel and Frederic are at the centre of this romp, as pirates and Her Majesty’s navy come to feather-duster blows. Regal Theatre, season starts October 24
