Flock in for heroes of the stage

By JESSE GRAHAM

THE hills will be alive with the sound of laughter and acrobatics in the coming week, with performances coming up in Montrose and Upwey.
On Thursday 2 April, Andreas Litras will come to the Montrose Town Centre for the production The Story of Odysseus, telling the story of the hero of the Trojan war.
The Story of Odysseus follows the story’s namesake as he adventures home, encountering sirens, witches, monsters and the Cyclops.
Audiences have already warmed to the clever performance, and the show will be held at 11am and 2pm on 2 April.
At Upwey’s Burrinja Cultural Centre, meanwhile, Pants Down Circus Rock is set to entertain audiences on Wednesday 8 and Thursday 9 April.
With death-defying stunts, incredible displays of strength and agility and good old nonsense to a backing track of classic rock, Pants Down Circus Rock will thrill audiences and make for a great night out in the hills.
Tickets to The Story of Odysseus are $8, or $5 if purchased online, and the show is located at Montrose Town Centre, 935 Mount Dandenong Tourist Road, Montrose.
Tickets to Pants Down Circus Rock are $19, or $15 per person in families of four people or more, and will be held at Burrinja Cultural Centre, 351 Glenfern Road, Upwey.
