Garage Girls: a night of storytelling magic with five actors playing many colourful characters.
Meet Alice Anderson. Mechanic. Trailblazer. Entrepreneur. She’s the girl who knows her way around a Hups, Dodge and Austin better than anyone.
Imagine… it’s the 1920’s! Society reels from the aftermath of war and a second wave of Spanish flu wreaks havoc on the streets. Women’s fashion sets startling trends and the city hums with the music of the motor car. One small woman defies convention and makes her mark.
Inspired by Alice Anderson’s short but eventful life, Garage Girls will take you from Melbourne’s mysterious underbelly to the remote deserts of Alice Springs. An energetic and fast-paced 70 minute theatrical romp, showcasing dynamic sound design – Garage Girls is a rollicking ride celebrating an Australian icon.
Garage Girls is a show for car-lovers, story-lovers, history-lovers and audiences young and old.
Welcome to Miss Anderson’s All Girl Garage!
