The Milton/Ulladulla Entertainers have been hard at work for months rehearsing their latest show 'Illuminate' is set to hit the stage in mid-September (10 to 18).

The show is the culmination of many individuals who have come together to share their stories of resilience, joy and connection through song, live music, dance and circus.

Local High School teacher, Sharon McCutcheon is the artistic director this year and says she loves how Ulladulla residents suddenly become stars when they hit the stage.

"I have always loved how the cast is composed of butchers, builders, garbage collectors, teachers, students, accountants, mums, dads - a true cross-section of our local people. Just ordinary people doing extraordinary things," Sharon said.

Musical directors Elissa Skinner and Georgia Sadler have brought together a collection of incredibly talented voices set to take the audience on a journey throughout the show.

"We have so many beautiful voices in the show this year shining bright in an eclectic array of costumes - it will be a real sensory delight for our audience members," Sharon said.

"Our choreographer Jess Mckay has also gathered together a collection of extraordinary dancers - with some stars from the past re-joining our cast for a fabulous reunion."

Rehearsing in masks, the cast is doing all it takes to ensure the rehearsal process continues whilst still adhering to current rural restrictions.

The show tickets are selling fast and even though back-up dates have been confirmed for early 2022, the cast and crew are confident that the show will go on in September.

The Entertainers are a non-profit organisation that raises thousands of dollars for local charities every year and relies on ticket sales to be able to 'give back'.

Tickets are on sale through the Ulladulla Ex-Servicemen's Club or here. So get yours before they sell out!
