Gemco stars among Bums cast

EMERALD’S Gemco Players Theatre will host a matinee performance of the stage show, ‘Bums’, this Saturday.
Featuring a star-studded cast, the show is set in present-day Melbourne and is a funny social commentary about street people.
The one-act play is written by Robert Shaffron and recently has been a sell-out at the Castlemaine Fringe Festival.
Directed by Jeff Jones, who has lived and worked in the hills for the past decade, the cast will include a host of past and present Gemco identities.
These include Peter Thatcher, Steve Cooper, Belinda Winthrop and Mat Greenaway.
Jones said the play would be poignant for many reasons.
“In many ways, the Emerald show will be more like a huge reunion for the cast and crew, as they still have lots of family and friends in the region,” he said.
“All profits go to the Clown Doctors, who do great work by putting smiles on sick kids in hospitals around Australia.”
