Chapel Off Chapel shows on sale
/Today we welcome back City of Stonnington as a festival partner by announcing shows at their premier venue, Chapel Off Chapel.
The City of Stonnington support us because:
- we attract well over 3,500 people into the Chapel Street restaurant precinct in its traditionally quieter winter period;
- we provide Chapel Off Chapel with its busiest fortnight each year; and, of course,
- we present world-class quality of shows each year
This year we’re planning to delight audiences even more by converting the main space into an intimate cabaret soiree with most seating at tables.
Following is a summary of the shows, all of which are now on sale!
