Presented By: PIP Theatre

Genre: Contemporary Australian drama with comedy and music

Synopsis: In an old CFA hall on the outskirts of town, a small group of locals gathers to sing and connect. Having separated from their original choir on a matter of principle, Aseni, Barbara, Mack, Savannah and Totty are determined to forge a new path. With recruit Peter joining them, they have a new name, a rehearsal space and a public debut booked—but first, they must confront the wrongs of the past and find the perfect song to accompany the local winery’s Sangiovese.
