Quick Overview: Welcome to Appleton, a tidy country town with a population of 1557. Stop in at the pub in the arvo, try your luck with the pokies and why not stay for the annual Potato Race? It’s the highlight of the year. Only this year Dr Penny Anderson is back home in Appleton, and she has a question. Why should the prize money for the race be $1000 for the men but only $200 for the women? Penny, with the help of some locals, makes the whole town take notice! Playwright Melanie Tait takes real-life events and brings us a warm comedy showing the world that there’s more than one way to win a race.
Saturday 28 February 2026 (One day only, two performances)
2pm and 7.30pm. Doors open 30 minutes before.
