Bairnsdale Production Line Theatre Company’s 2025 production of Come From Away opened to rapturous applause at The Forge Theatre last Friday May 2nd. This fantastic musical is proudly sponsored by long standing Production Line supporter, New Leaf Café. Opening night attendees were treated to a glass of sparkling wine and supper, direct from their fantastic new location in the old Main Hotel.
In the audience on Friday night were regular Production Line theatre goers, Fiona Dobson and Trudee Nagle. Both expressed their enjoyment of once again seeing such a well-produced show from Bairnsdale’s preeminent community theatre company. Fiona said
“I thought it was thoroughly fantastic, just brilliant. I’ve seen a professional production of the show before and I had the exact same emotional feeling tonight as I did then. And the music just makes you wanna get up and dance”
Trudee had a similar emotional reaction to the true story of the Come From Away’s, as Fiona did.
“It was brilliant. Better than I could have expected and Bairnsdale should be proud to have so much local talent”.
Brad Sinclair attended with his mother, Bev, and both were very impressed with Production Line's efforts in retelling such an emotionally charged story. Bev said
"the local talent we have here is simply brilliant and I am so glad I came. Brad and I highly recommend getting some tickets if you haven't yet”.
Also in the audience was Shankary Ganesh and extended family, there to support daughter Shivani in the role of Hannah. Shankary said
"I might be little biased but I truly enjoyed everyone’s performances. The production team should be so very proud of their efforts It takes a lot of skill to tell a story like this one well, when it comes from such heartbreak. But this talented bunch of people did just that, they were funny in all the right places and pulling at your heartstrings at the same time. Simply brilliant”.
Come From Away is on again for two more weekends, with an extra performance on Thursday 15th May and concludes with a matinee on Sunday 18th May.
