What's On

 2021 at Southern Edge Arts: 

The Ballad of Penelope and Marlin 

a uniquely great southern musical

The Ballad of Penelope and Marlin is a comical look at life in the future, where robot bees tend to your needs and love begins with an upgrade.

Marlin is the last in a long line of fishermen. With no fish left in the oceans, he reluctantly enters Harmony Hive and meets Penelope, a future star, who disrupts the hive with a start up like no other.

This uniquely Great Southern musical is about hope, desire and a hive that is home to humans and the last living bee.

Created exclusively by Artists from the Great Southern Region, this promises to be a great night out at the Albany Town Hall
